This charming period property is believed to date back to the late 1700s and enjoys off street parking and a generous rear garden. Oozing with delightful features such as exposed beams, open fireplace and a bespoke oak kitchen, this truly unique home comes to the market for the first time in almost 30 years. NO ONWARD CHAIN

Arriving at the property you find a welcoming porch with space for coats and shoes. A door leads into a spacious living room with a stunning open fireplace and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen diner is found towards the rear and is thought to be the original part of the house. As such, the ceiling is peppered with beautiful beams and there is a bespoke oak kitchen with spalted maple work surfaces and a Belfast sink. This room is a wonderful size with plenty of space for a table and chairs. French doors lead to the garden and there is a useful utility room which is home to the combi boiler.

Moving upstairs you find three bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one is a generous double bedroom with a beautiful beam, fitted wardrobes and a lovely view of the rear garden. Bedrooms two and three are found to the front with bedroom two also featuring an impressive beam. Completing the internal accommodation is a beautiful modern bathroom which features a centre tap bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.

The front garden has been laid to gravel and provides parking for two cars. The rear garden enjoys a private patio and a path that runs the full length of the garden. Currently a blank canvass for a buyer to make their own, the garden is surprisingly peaceful and backs onto fields.

Many older properties have various quirks and charms that make them interesting and this is no exception. We have been advised that the property is leasehold on a 1,000 year lease from the late 1700s. The owner of the freehold is unknown however the current owner informs us that since he bought the house in 1996 he has not had any ground rent to pay. The garden is on a separate title and understood to be freehold.
