House For Sale £1,900,000
DESCRIPTION
Dating back to the early 19th Century, the property boasts an immediate presence upon arrival owed to a twin gabled façade, sash windows and stone steps leading to the front door under a Tuscan porch. This provides access to an amazing front to rear entrance hall, with two formal receptions rooms immediately to either side, the dining room with tall ceilings, picture railing, Victorian fireplace and dual aspect, with the drawing room mirroring this. Beyond is a useful home office with exposed floorboards, and its own rear entrance. A large shaker style kitchen/breakfast room is opposite fitted with ample storage, worktop space, a 5 ring cooker with a hidden door providing access back to the dining room, as well as an adjacent utility room and pantry. To the rear of the property is a fantastic sitting room with bi-folding doors to the garden room opening up into West facing dining terrace. There is an impressive cellar which offers great scope for either a games room or cinema room. Via the cantilever central staircase with ceiling dome, the spacious landing provides access to the principal bedroom, with fitted wardrobes and recently refurbished ensuite shower room, 4 further large double bedrooms, with an additional ensuite and stunning family bathroom.
Outside
Sitting proudly in its plot of just under an acre, the ornate iron gates provide access from the village scene, to the property via a long and sweeping drive, to a large block paved driveway, triple garaging with workshop area and secondary self contained annexe. The formal gardens to the front are mainly laid to law, with established borders, yew hedging and a number of mature specimen trees. To the rear of the property, is a sunken West facing alfresco dining terrace, with steps up to further lawned areas, flower beds, orchards, all facing due West, with elevated views back over Finchingfield.
The updated two-bedroom annexe offers exciting potential, either as a secondary annexe, or generating a healthy holiday let income from the well known village of Finchingfield.
Not only is it exciting, but this also would result in multiple dwellings relief on Stamp Duty Land Tax and would be a signicant saving to future purchasers.
