THE PROPERTY
No’s 2 and 3 Swingleton Hill were converted into two cottages several years ago and could easily be reinstated into one cottage, which would then afford generous accommodation of about 1,800 sq ft arranged over two floors.

Presenting predominantly colour washed rendered elevations under pantile roofs, this well-cared for family home is coming to the market for the first time in 70 years and presents an ideal opportunity to create a well-proportioned home, standing in a pleasant location, enjoying views over abutting undulating countryside to the rear.

The current accommodation of No.2 comprises an entrance hall, used as a snug, a sitting room with a front aspect and double doors leading to the rear, a good-sized kitchen/dining room with a rear aspect, a cloakroom and a rear porch/utility area. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. No.3 currently comprises a sitting/dining room with a twin aspect, a kitchen, cloakroom and rear porch. On the first floor there is a double bedroom and a bathroom.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is an area of lawn, a block paved driveway and further paved area, capable of standing several vehicles leading to the rear, which is predominantly laid as hardstanding for parking and leads to a garden area predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging and a pergola covered terraced area ideal for alfresco dining. There is a useful timber outbuilding and the gardens abut farmland and enjoy unobstructed views over the undulating countryside.

NB The property is fitted with solar panels to assist the electricity usage.

Agents Note Planning permission has been granted on the adjoining garden land for a pair of semi-detached houses, separately available for sale.
