Description - Approached by a spacious gravel drive with room for multiple vehicles the house welcomes you into its enclosed porch giving the opportunity to take off shoes and coats before entering through the period front door and into the charming hallway, which opens up to all areas as well as stairs to the first floor and storage under. The front reception room is bright and cheerful with a square bay to the front and offers period features with built in storage to the alcoves each side of the feature fireplace. To the rear of the house is a similar sized dining room, which opens into the kitchen. A feature fireplace with wood burning stove allows seating space for engaging with the open kitchen area to be able to socialise whilst preparing meals. A small glazed conservatory through French doors from the dining area look out over the South facing garden. A useful larder and cloakroom sit opposite sides of the exit to the garden from the kitchen. This is one of the areas that a new buyer may consider an enhancement by extending this space and connecting all as one to create a very spacious open plan kitchen dining living room with outlook to the garden.
Upstairs the house offers three bedrooms. Two very good sized double bedrooms, the largest to the rear overlooking the garden. Both of these bedrooms have built in storage to one side of the respective chimney stacks. The third bedroom to the front is currently used by the vendor as a crafting room but is a good sized single bedroom or study. The attic is another area of potential and like most properties of this period tall gables allow stand up space and ability to develop into a further bedroom and bathroom, future proofing this home as the family grows. Again subject to planning being agreed.
The South facing garden is a very good size. Properties of this era were designed to be used by families to offer an element of self sufficiency with space to grow produce and keep chickens etc. This house is no exception with it generous garden offering different planting areas including lawn and mature beds, productive spaces and fruit trees. A garage sits in the garden with power and light currently great storage space but, could be adapted further for use as a workshop, games room or work from home space of course.
