This is one of those opportunities not to be missed. It is not often such a substantial handsome property that offers an income potential comes available within the centre of a thriving village community and offers both garage and off street parking.
The property offers external elevations of stone and colour wash render under a slate roof.
On entering the main house through the glazed entrance, a fine wide straight run of stairs greets you with doors leading into both the sitting room and dining room found as you enter. Both of these are well proportioned with large low picture windows overlooking the village playing fields complete with tennis court and children’s adventure play area. The dining room links into a most impressive sized and refitted kitchen/breakfast room with an extensive range of wall, floor and drawer units with associated work surfaces and built in double oven hob and dishwasher with ample space for a large fridge/freezer.
Connecting this and the sitting room is a family room with a non-working period range, stairs to the first floor and a door connecting to the rear covered area and into an office that is between a downstairs cloakroom/utility room and the former post office. This has the most lovely Georgian pane fronted window and door to the outside and looks down Broad Street. The covered area houses the boiler and is ideal for storing outside wet weather gear and running behind the house is a storing outside wet weather gear and running behind the house is a good sized workshop.
The main stairs are a delight to use and have a certain grandeur to them being so wide and the current Vendor has been allowed use of them when renting out the two self contained flats created what would formerly have been substantial double bedrooms. The current bedrooms both have en suites and the rooms with kitchenettes in, have fabulous far reaching views across the village playing fields and beyond with one enjoying a gallery area above the stairs ideal for just sitting and reading a good book.
The second stairs that lead from the family room opens onto a small split level landing off which is found a generous sized internal bathroom with shower and two good sized bedrooms, the front one being particularly large and enjoying views across the village.
The Old Coach House
The front door opens into the double aspect beamed sitting room which in turn opens to the kitchen breakfast room which offers storage cupboards, work surfaces and space for an under counter fridge and slot in cooker. Open tread stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor which offers two bedrooms with sloping ceilings and a bathroom with white suite.
The driveway leads to the good sized garage and provides parking for several vehicles. The garden lies to one side and enjoys a good degree of light being laid to lawn and at one end is found a former swimming pool now in disrepair. With some careful thought the garden could be landscaped to provide a wonderful haven in which to soak up the sun and to just enjoy the surrounds and views.
External elevations mix of stone and render under a tiled roof.
