This pretty period property has been occupied by one family for nearly 30 years and has been sympathetically restored and finished to a very comfortable standard.It has charming character features throughout including an attractive stone and red brickwork facade, high ceilings, original wood floors, four panelled doors and an original tessellated tiled entrance hallway. The home offers versatile living arrangements as, in addition to the main house, there is a separate self contained one bedroom annexe which is a converted barn arranged over two floors and attached to the garage. This could be used by family members, guests or could provide an additional income for a new owner on a platform such as AirBnB. The location is quiet, the garden abundant with birdsong and there is off street parking behind a gated entrance for several cars.
