House For Sale £695,000
This attractive and extended detached period property is available on the market for the first time in 45 years. Occupying a unique location the property is approached along a private driveway adjacent to Guestling Playing Field; there is a security bar protecting the driveway. Set in large and established gardens the property takes in wonderful rural views over the countryside, playing fields and as far as the sea to the east. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and had a large extension in 2010. Requiring general modernisation the property offers excellent scope to be enhanced and improved to suit individual requirements. Many of the rooms retain characterful features. There are two reception rooms, a large kitchen, integral garage with adjacent utility area and a ground floor bathroom whilst on the first floor are four double bedrooms, one giving access with a staircase to an attic room which is thought to offer further potential, subject to any necessary consent. There is also a small study on the first floor (with high-speed fibre broadband) which could serve as a small fifth bedroom or nursery.The gardens are a feature of the property but there is also the benefit of the adjoining playing fields and a footpath nearby. With its unique setting viewing is highly recommended. Chain Free.
NOTE: The property has a shared private drainage system with a sports pavilion (to the rear of Park Cottage) and is responsible for 50% of the upkeep of this and the driveway. The owners of Park Cottage have a key for the security bar at the top of the playing field.
