House For Sale £575,000
Ref: JM0133 A utterly beautiful period home, built in 1896, Roden house offers spacious and flexible accommodation with an abundance of period features including picture rails, cornices, stripped doors, and fireplaces in almost every room! Meticulously designed and presented, this wonderful home looks like its been taken straight from one of the best "country homes" magazines and blends modern features into the property whilst retaining the character throughout. From the spacious and light entrance hall with original tiled floor and stripped wooden staircase, you walk through to the most gorgeous drawing room. This bright and well proportioned room features a wide box bay window with huge windows and a marvellous marble Victorian fireplace complete with working fire, picture rails, high ceilings and cornices. This room sets the scene for the rest of the property. The grand dining room is a incredibly generous 21ft long, features another fabulous marble fireplace, triple aspect windows and is a superb space for entertaining. With such a large area to make use of, this room can be incredibly flexible and used as a 2nd living room, playroom, office space or hobby/work room . Cross the hall and you walk through to the most beautiful character kitchen/breakfast room! With uncovered original floor tiles and space for a good sized table, the room focusses around the original stone fireplace, which extends floor to ceiling and cleverly houses the oven, with a wooden worktop and microwave over. Feature tiling and little cubby spaces above the mantlepiece just add to the character. Built in units either side match the kitchen but are sympathetically incorporated into this space to create further storage, making the best use of the space. The kitchen flows around the room with a wooden worktop over the painted cupboards extending into a breakfast bar island partially separating the breakfast space from the remainder of the room with an inset induction hob and extractor above. A large feature window overlooks the garden and there is plenty of space for the largest of fridge/freezers. To compete the kitchen arrangement, there is a generous utility room with spaces for Washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer, "insinkerator" waste disposal within the sink, further cupboards and a large under stairs storage space. The modern downstairs cloakroom is just set off the utility room and access to the garage and also stairs to the self contained guest suite. This large and well appointed room has a great range of built in wardrobes and its own modern bathroom just across the upper landing. Perfect for a guest suite, as nicely separate from the other bedrooms, this area could, with a little tweak, create a self contained annexe. Access is gained to this area from the rear door into the utility and a little rearranging of the utility area could create a kitchen. A step further would be to utilise the integral garage and convert this to create a living space downstairs with kitchen area, leaving the main houses utility as it currently stands. The options are endless and with little work could provide a perfect space for an Air bnb or relatives accommodation. Back to the main part of the property and the staircase from the hallway leads to 3 excellent double bedrooms. All have their own original fireplace with inset tiled hearths set into stripped and stained floorboards. A smart and modern shower room completes the accommodation on this level.
If you can tear yourself away from the inside, the exterior and gardens will not disappoint ! A stone pillared gated driveway is set to the left hand side of the property and offers parking for at least 3 cars and links around to the rear garden from this side. The front garden is laid out with a mixture of paving, gravelled areas and borders set behind a stone wall topped with railings and further along is another gated drive in front of the garage. To the rear is a wide, level and generous garden, laid mainly to lawn with large patio area across the width of the house, a further seating corner at the rear along with a large shed and log store. The additional patio area in the rear corner is large enough for a corner patio sofa and perfect to house the fire pit and enjoy toasted marshmallows on a summer evening. An old red brick wall frames the garden beautifully and dips away at the centre to allow the extensive views across the fields towards the canal. Look past the ponies and you can spot the tops of the canal boats in the distance.
