House For Sale £700,000
Property located in
Description Occupying gardens and a paddock of approximately 1.25 acres that adjoin the River Beane, is this attractive semi detached character house that is in need of some improvement.
The extended and substantial accommodation together with the extensive grounds offer a prospective buyer a wonderful opportunity to put their own stamp on a home and enjoy a different lifestyle brought to the home by having such a great position in the heart of the village yet also grounds where one can escape from the stresses of everyday life.
Step inside The house is set back off the high street and benefits from a driveway to the front and side. From the front door one steps into the hallway which in turn leads into a spacious dining/family room. A large room with stairs to the first floor and double doors, that lead to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen/breakfast room is dated but fitted with an extensive range of units and links to the conservatory at the rear of the house that overlooks the garden. Adjoining the kitchen is a garden lobby off which is a Wet/Shower room and a large utility room that is again dated but well fitted with a good range of units. At the front of the house is found the good size living room with timbers and an attractive inglenook style brick fireplace with wood burner. Two bow windows to the front flood the room with light.
Moving upstairs there are four bedrooms, 3 doubles and a large single, together with a bathroom. In addition is a walk in linen room with ladder access up to the loft room that provides useful storage and has, in the past been used as a playroom/den.
Step outside The garden is where the house really comes into its own. To the very rear of the house is a patio and steps lead down to the long lawn that extends to over 200' in length and is bordered by fences, flower beds, trees and shrubs.
At the foot of the garden one finds the main area of garden/paddock that is in excess of an acre and is laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and is flanked by the River Beane on one side. This area of the garden also has rear vehicular access. The garden would provide a wonderful opportunity for those with an interest in horses or livestock, those wanting a small holding or simply those who love their gardening.
This really is an area of the garden that can be an oasis of calm, where you can escape from the pressures of everyday life.
The property also benefits from being set just back off the high street with a driveway and parking to the front of the house.
There is also a larger than average garage/workshop set just to the rear/side of the house providing further possibilities for conversion into additional accommodation or a work from home office.
