Long Acre, Bingham

A substantial, Victorian (built around 1888 by the very highly regarded local builder James Walker) a 4 double bedroomed family home located within a setting of similar period properties that were built in Bingham around the turn of the last Century. Enjoying a very mature and sizeable plot, this type of property rarely comes to the market, with the current owners enjoying over 60 happy years at Victoria Villa hence the well-stocked and lovingly created garden over many years that provide a wonderful array of colour and texture throughout.

The property would be perfect for families either upsizing or locating into this vibrant and bustling Market Town and the accommodation is larger than average due to the generous room proportions and with an extended kitchen and secondary shower room to the rear, gas central heating, double glazing throughout, off street parking to the front.

The obvious conversion of the front two rooms, with the creation of a secondary kitchen and toilet facilities, will also attract those who might have a commercial, use as the property has been used a Hairdressers / Salon for many years and the property will be bought, as seen.

The accommodation comprises Entrance Porch & Reception Hall with the original spacious Lounge to one side (now extended with both kitchenette and W.C., and a separate Dining Room (waiting room) to the other, an internal hallway with stairs to the first floor, a spacious 'L' shaped dining lounge, a large and extended Kitchen to the rear, a utility room, shower room facilities and a Conservatory that overlooks the established rear gardens. To the first floor are four double Bedrooms, with the main enjoying en-suite shower facilities, and there is a separate bathroom on this level.

An open car-port to the right hand side leads to the GARAGE (15'0 x 9'8) and there is the benefit of a Summer House and two Greenhouses which will be included within the sale.

Having been the 'pride and joy' of the previous owners over many, many years, the rear of the property is a Gardener's Delight with many planting areas, mature shrubs, colourful and shaped beds... and now it's your turn now to continue the maintenance and care of such a wonderful feature that is so seldom found... a well-created, established and very much cherished garden. There is useful gated access to Bingham's main Car Park, which is approached off Newgate Street.
