Welcome to Whelpside, a deceptively spacious detached true bungalow along with the original village blacksmiths, that now serves as a detached garage/workshop, found right in the heart of High Harrington.

As you pull up onto the driveway, you'll notice that there is ample off-road parking for 3-4 vehicles with direct access into the former blacksmith's building that now serves as a garage and/or workshop. Bending around the corner, you'll see the first glimpse of Whelpside itself, nestled behind a screen of well-established hedging and mature trees that provide a great deal of privacy to the front aspect of the property and the secluded front lawn area.

As you look upon the property, you'll see the former front door and the windows of two of the bedrooms, but what you cannot see is that the property extensively extends both to the rear and side of the plot, so the front aspect is just the tip of the iceberg!

You'll notice a wooden gate to the side that links the blacksmiths to the property itself; walking through it, you'll come across not only more of Whelpside on show but also a wonderfully secluded and private courtyard area, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying a BBQ and cheeky wine with friends and family of a warm evening.

With access to the rear of the workshop and around the property to the rear garden, let's first head into the actual front door and into the property itself.

Inside you'll find yourself standing in the hallway, with access into the kitchen, living room & shower room and the loft via a hatch. This useful vestibule area has built-in cupboards and houses the electricity meters.

This part of the property was originally intended as a granny annexe, providing separate access, living accommodation and bathroom facilities, but now serves as a fully fledged extension to the house, adding in a sizeable dual-aspect reception room with a feature gas-fired fireplace that leads out into the conservatory and the garden beyond, along with an additional shower room that contains a corner shower cubicle, sink and W/C.

Walking out of the extension and into the kitchen, you will find a well-proportioned space with an extensive window that looks over the rear garden that, even on a dull day, allows plenty of natural light to flood the room. Currently equipped with a traditional suite of base and wall-mounted wood cabinetry and ample worktop space, it also has a built-in fridge freezer, space for a gas-fired freestanding oven and space and plumbing for a washing machine. While in need of modernisation, this well-proportioned room would make a superb kitchen space with plenty of space for a kitchen island or dining room table.
