House For Sale £700,000
The Old Plough is a superb detached period house standing in a lovely setting on a quiet lane with views towards the village church in Wellingham. The property has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners to now offer beautifully presented accommodation which retains many period features such as ledge doors, fireplaces and beamed/vaulted ceilings. Alongside the aesthetic traditional features are all the modern benefits of oil-fired central heating, spacious kitchen/breakfast room with contemporary fitted units and space for a range cooker, separate utility/boot room and dining room and well appointed bathrooms. There are 2 further reception rooms with a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove and a large drawing room where the original bread ovens remain from the property's former life as the village bakery. There is also a ground floor bathroom. Upstairs, the accommodation is adaptable with 3 bedrooms, shower room and a room currently used as a walk-through bedroom 4 but which could also be used as a dressing room to bedroom 1 or a study.
Outside, there is a substantial light and airy detached brick and flint outbuilding, currently being used as artists' studios but would equally lend itself to the creation of annexe or holiday lettings accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions). The Old Plough has delightful west facing formal gardens to the rear and an additional lawned piece of land to the north with an orchard and vegetable patch and separate vehicular access. In all, the gardens and grounds amount to approximately 0.45 acre (subject to survey).
The Old Plough is being offered for sale with no onward chain.
