A self-contained annexe adjoins this detached, three bedroom family home in the popular village of Kentisbeare, within the Uffculme School catchment. Quick access to the motorway and stations, ideal for commuting.
Country House lies in the centre of the popular village of Kentisbeare, opposite the primary school and within easy reach of the local amenities.
The house offers comfortable accommodation, with uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating, yet is in need of updating, notably the kitchen and some of the windows, and redecoration and new carpets and flooring are required throughout. The entrance lobby has a downstairs cloakroom adjoining and a few steps lead up to the sitting room. The ground floor is spacious and open plan through to the kitchen, with sliding doors separating the sitting room if required.
Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms and a separate bathroom and shower room. The shower room could be incorporated in a suite with the principal bedroom if preferred, with a small rearrangement of the doors on the landing.
The original garage of the property and part of the house was converted some years ago into a one bedroom annexe called 'The Bolt Hole', arranged over two floors with its own separate entrance at the front of the property. This would be ideal for an elderly relative, older children, seeking some independence, or perhaps use as a letting or Airbnb unit.
To the front of the property there is a parking area for two cars and to the rear, an established garden, which is initially quite steep with steps leading up to a more gently sloping lawn garden, with distant country views and a dilapidated summerhouse and shed. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN THE GARDEN AND ALL AROUND THE PROPERTY AS THE STEPS AND PATHS ARE CURRENTLY SLIPPERY IN DAMP OR ICY WEATHER.
Services: mains water, electricity and drainage. Private oil tank for central heating.
Agent's note: Seddons have not had the oil tank inspected but understand from the solicitor dealing with the sale that it does not comply with current regulations and therefore needs replacing. The cost of this has been accounted for in the marketing price.
Tenure: Freehold
Council Tax - 'Country House': Band D
