General Comments - A fantastic and rare opportunity to purchase a spacious dormer style property in arguably one of the very best positions within this much sought after village. Chindits has been a cherished family home for over sixty years and occupies a mature plot which enjoys magnificent far reaching rural views. The house itself has been updated over the years with replacement double glazing and mains gas fired central heating but is now in need of modernisation. The majority of the rooms enjoy views over the mature gardens with uninterrupted countryside views beyond. The layout is extremely versatile with the possibility of a self contained annexe with independent access if required. There are three bedrooms, bathroom and additional shower room on the ground floor with three further bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. In addition the ground floor accommodation comprises a large sitting room, dining hall, kitchen, utility and second lounge (or sixth bedroom). A sun terrace enjoying a south westerly aspect runs the length of the rear of the property providing plenty of sitting out space from which to enjoy the stunning views. The gardens are well stocked with an array of mature shrubs and plants. A tarmac driveway provides plenty of turning and parking space with the entrance coming directly off Wagg Lane. This really is a rare opportunity - early viewing is absolutely essential.
