House For Sale £850,000
Hare & Hounds is a handsome, mid-18th century former public house in the heart of Greenstead Green. A family home offering extensive, flexible living accommodation that extends to 2,800 sq ft. Upon entering through the front door you are greeted by a warm and welcoming reception sitting area complimented with a log burner. Exposed timbers have been carefully restored and create a sympathetic divide between the reception hall and the former dance floor, now large dining room. Through the reception hall and occupying the right hand side of the ground floor is the wonderful living room. A splendid space with exposed timbers and impressive brick fireplace with gas fire and bay window with sash windows. Heading back through the dining room and ideally situated to link this space and the outside is the large kitchen breakfast room.
The kitchen is slightly raised to the breakfast area and provides a range of units fitted in around the Rayburn range cooker. The breakfast area has timber flooring and two sliding doors providing access out to the garden. Next to the kitchen is a useful utility cupboard, cloakroom, and rear lobby with access to the basement. At the rear of the ground floor the property has an annex set up which includes a sitting area, bedroom, kitchen and separate shower room. On the first floor there are several well-appointed bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en-suite, bedroom two with modern en-suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with roll top bath and separate cloakroom.
The property is situated in Grange Hill with off street parking to the immediate front of the building. Side access opens to the garden. To the right hand side of the main dwelling is a period barn in need of modernisation. The barn offers excellent potential to turn into an annex or office space and has lapsed planning approved for alterations (planning reference 04/00749/FUL). Next to the barn is a summer house with cloakroom where the current owners have previously had their home office. The formal garden extends from the rear of the property and features a lawn area with swimming pool which requires modernisation. A five bar gate opens into the yard where there is a stable block consisting of four stables and store with power and water. Next to the stables is a ménage. As you pass through the yard the land opens to a large, slightly undulating field currently enclosed within electric fencing.
