House For Sale £840,000
A fabulous chance to purchase a substantial detached family home offering around 2,000 square feet ( 185.8 sq. m) of internal living space with four double sized bedrooms, sitting in grounds extending to 0.4 acres with views over the adjoining countryside and enjoying a village location. The original part of the property dates to the 1930's and was the gardener's cottage to the nearby Buckley House. Over the course of its lifetime this attractive property has been sympathetically extended to provide spacious accommodation, which satisfies modern day needs and provides a home for an existing or growing family. The property has been a very much loved and enjoyed family home to our sellers for the last twenty two years, during this time it has been extremely well cared for and greatly improved with the addition of a double garage with games room above, a conservatory has been added, which takes in a delightful view over the gardens and countryside beyond, new windows have been fitted and a new oil fired boiler was installed about three years ago. This striking home offers well presented accommodation with an easy to use layout and retains original fireplaces and a bespoke staircase. A viewing is imperative to truly realise, just what this home has to offer, both inside and outside, as well as the location.
