128 The Homend

* This lovely property was historically a shop, understood to have been a stationer, and was converted to a residential property in excess of 40 years ago. * Whilst the property has 16th century origins, the main fabric of the building dates from the 1860’s. * The front door opens to the cosy sitting room with its feature bay window, which ensures this is a lovely and light room. * A doorway leads through to the spacious kitchen/dining room, with a stable door off a small inner lobby opening to the cellar, which comprises two spaces. There is potential for conversion to add additional room(s), if required, subject to professional advice and any necessary permissions. * The kitchen/dining room is a super, open plan space with the original fireplace fitted with a wood burner, providing a lovely feature and a practical heat source. There is ample room for a table and chairs, with the country-style kitchen offering plenty of storage and space for a cooker, a fridge-freezer (truncated)

128 The Homend (continued)

* A rear door off the kitchen opens to a rear enclosed lobby/boot room which provides further useful storage space with a WC leading off. A further door opens out to the garden which is accessed via a set of steps. * There is a doorway off the kitchen that opens to the stairs to the first-floor landing where there is a large double bedroom with an attractive original fireplace and bay window. There is also a family bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower, which has recently been renewed, and an airing cupboard. * A second staircase leads to the second floor where there are two further good-sized double bedrooms, both with wardrobes.

The Outside

* The property fronts onto The Homend and is accessed directly off the main pavement. Being within walking distance of the town centre ensures all amenities are within easy reach. * The well-kept and pretty rear courtyard garden is accessed directly from the rear porch of the property, where there is a lovely patio area which provides a perfect space for seasonal use. * Attractively hard landscaped with a medley of brick paving, gravel and paving slabs, the garden is complemented by a variety of established shrubs, flowering and climbing plants to soften this lovely outdoor space and provide year-round interest and colour. * Raised flower borders flank a footpath that leads down to the detached outbuilding, which can be open at both ends and provides a through path to the rest of the garden. A further access to the side of the outbuilding can also be used to access the lower part of the garden.

The Outside (continued)

* The detached brick outbuilding is a two-storey structure which is currently used as a workshop to the ground floor, with an art studio above, accessed via an open staircase, and also provides a great storage space. * Historically, the outbuilding was a stable with hay loft above and now provides a great opportunity for conversion to an annexe, Airbnb, home office, studio or similar, subject to any necessary permissions. * The property has the added bonus of a right to a parking space in Tesco car park, just around the corner, in addition to on-street parking to the front.
