House For Sale £675,000
*** offers invited on £675,000 *** A very fine Grade II listed 5/6 bedroom detached stone built Georgian house in the centre of this well regarded and highly sought after village of High Melton.
The present owners bought the house some 15 or so years ago, even though it looked forgotten, neglected and unloved, they saw the potential, having fallen in love with its Georgian architecture, the solid thick stone walls, sliding sashed windows and heavy beams. They then spent the next years returning it to its former glory ‘a real labour of love’. It now looks resplendent, sympathetically refurbished to keep the original character yet can now offer the convenience of modern living. The accommodation is laid out over 3 floors and comprises; a beautiful entrance hall with an Oak staircase, 3 large reception rooms which includes a formal sitting room, a larger more cozy, informal second sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen and the original pantry, now a utility room, although the original stone shelf stays. A stage landing opens up onto a large galleried landing, where there are 3 large double bedrooms, an elegant bathroom and a separate wc. The second floor landing gives access to 3 further large rooms and an en-suite bathroom which offers a degree of flexibility in layout, perfect for an older child, or a large principle suite. Outside the property enjoys a lovely gated and walled South facing mature garden, with ample parking and several stores. High Melton is a pretty village steeped in history, situated on the Western fringe of Doncaster just beyond Sprotbrough, there is easy access to Mexborough, Doncaster and the motorway network via the A1/ M18.
