Description

This most attractive Grade II listed property offers an exciting and increasingly rare opportunity for those seeking a renovation project with scope and versatility.

The house provides generously proportioned three bedroom accommodation of real charm and character including a fine arch topped stone over the front entrance and unusual arch topped stone mullion windows.

The adjoining cottage could remain as separate annexe accommodation to the house or perhaps create a holiday let. Alternatively, the cottage could be incorporated as part of the house creating a substantial single family home. Any alternations would of course be subject to planning permission and listed building consent.

The house is entered at the front into a generous hall with useful understairs store area and a staircase leading to the first floor galley landing. The hall leads through to a spacious living room with chimney breast, built in wall cupboard and an impressive five light mullion window with arched heads. Beyond the living room is a good sized kitchen/dining room with multi fuel stove set in a stove surround, stainless steel sink and drainer on a base unit and plumbing for a washing machine. A glazed door opens onto a paved seating area with gardens extending beyond.

The spacious landing with elegant curved balustrade gives way to two double bedrooms at the front of the house, the larger of which has a fine five light mullion window matching the living room below. The third bedroom with airing cupboard is to the rear of the house and is currently accessed through the bathroom.

The adjoining cottage is accessed independently to the house having a single through room on the ground floor with external doors to both the front and rear. A staircase leads up to another single through room on the first floor
