Black Mikes is a delightful, south-facing period home offering light-filled, versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The property has been extensively modernised and sympathetically refurbished to create well-proportioned and adaptable living spaces, while retaining its period charm. It is not listed.
The ground floor features a spacious and flexible layout. At the heart of the home is a potential kitchen (6.87m x 6.30m), a generous open-plan space with scope for a bespoke kitchen installation and flooring of the purchaser’s choice. Adjoining this is a beautiful breakfast/garden room (4.62m x 4.61m) with a feature fireplace and bi-fold doors opening onto the south-facing garden, ideal for entertaining and enjoying natural light throughout the day.
To the other side of the house, the sitting room (4.27m x 4.07m) offers a cosy retreat, while the study (4.25m x 3.73m) provides an excellent home office or snug. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The interiors have been whitewashed and undercoated, leaving the final finishes ready for personalisation.
A staircase rises to the first floor, where there are four double bedrooms, all south-facing, providing bright and airy accommodation. The principal bedroom (4.68m x 4.35m) is particularly generous, and the floor also includes two bathrooms and a shower room, ensuring practicality for modern family living.
Outside, Black Mikes is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a turning circle and an extensive range of outbuildings, including three garages, several garden stores, and a wood store. The grounds extend to approximately 0.93 acres, with gardens in front of the house and further space beyond the outbuildings. There is excellent potential to create a terrace outside the kitchen/breakfast room to take advantage of the property’s sunny orientation.
