DESCRIPTION
Situated nearly at the end of a No Through Road, this property is set within a large plot, part of which comprises formal gardens, with an additional “paddock” area planted with a range of mature trees. This property has a mature wisteria growing across the front and many original features. An ideal family home offering great opportunity for those looking for a quieter way of life and space for hobbies. The property would now benefit from cosmetic upgrading.
The property is entered through a part glazed door into a centrally placed entrance hall where a staircase rises to the first floor and doors lead into the sitting room and into the kitchen / dining room. The sitting room is of a good size with the main focal points being the feature open stone fireplace with raised hearth and mantel, and views across the front lawn. From here a door leads into the study which is currently used as an additional bedroom. Across the hall, the spacious family sized kitchen/dining room is fitted with an extensive range of base, drawer, wall and glazed units incorporating a single drainer sink unit and work surfaces complimented by the tiled floor. There is a built in double oven, ceramic hob, cooker hood, plumbing and space for dishwasher and washing machine. There is also an understairs cupboard, freestanding oil fired boiler, door to the study and stable door to the rear porch and ample space for a family sized dining table and chairs. The study is a light and airy room with French doors to the outside and a second door into the sitting room. This room is currently used as an additional bedroom but could be used as a garden room, playroom, or an office for those working from home.
On the first floor the split landing gives access to the four double bedrooms, all of which are a good size. The two bedrooms in the original part of the property have original cast iron fireplaces. All bedrooms have views. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite of panel enclosed bath, low level wc, pedestal wash hand basin as well as a separate shower cubicle.
This property would appeal to keen gardeners and families with children given the nature of the accommodation and gardens.
