House For Sale £550,000
This is a unique opportunity to purchase a sizeable (approximately 2152 sq ft) and commanding Grade II Listed 5 bedroom home in the heart of the popular quintessential village of Wingham.
Situated in a prominent High Street position set back from the road, the property, circa 1717, would benefit from full refurbishment to be transformed into a rather exquisite family home.
69 High Street has a wealth of character and period features such as moulded wooden eaves cornice to roof, gabled dormer, leaded wooden casements, dentil cornice, leaded light and bay windows, feature fireplaces, exposed brick walls and beams to name but a few.
Works have previously been undertaken by the current owners in more recent times from 2010 such as rewiring, replacement of boiler and radiators, new roof and insulation.
There is also a very spacious and useful attic space which would be ideal as additional accommodation.
It has been mentioned that Planning Permission maybe possible for an extension through the kitchen so long as the rear roof line is not altered. This would need to be subject to obtaining the necessary Planning Consents. Additionally, the property would lend itself to having one of the middle floor bedrooms converted to a bathroom, again subject to obtaining any relevant Consents.
The garden is of a particularly generous size and also has the added benefit of a cabin (3m x 4m) built approximately 6 years ago with electricity/wifi connected. Rear access is available via Skye Court (to the side of the neighbouring property) with a five bar gate leading onto a gravel hardstanding. [Please note, vehicular access is via a “Gentleman’s” Agreement].
