House For Sale £255,000
With far-reaching views of wooded countryside and located in the heart of the sought-after village of Holloway, this home is tremendous value for money. Just a short walk from Lea Primary School and with the village shop/post office/coffee shop across the road, this is a great place for a young family to live.
The home itself has neat lawned front and rear gardens. On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room, a breakfast/dining kitchen, pantry and WC. On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Holloway is a historic village with John Smedley's mill reputedly being the longest-running operational factory in the world, since 1784. The village has a community shop, church, primary school, renowned local butcher's Robin Maycock and Chase cafe, popular with walkers and cyclists.
Front Of The Home - Ascend six stone steps and enter the front garden through a new gate, set within the new timber picket fence. The neat lawned front garden is surrounded by colourful planted borders. In front of the home is a small patio with room for a dining set - a great spot from which to drink in the fabulous views of the hilly, wooded countryside. There is a path on the right of the home leading to the rear garden gate. At the front is an outside light and a canopy porch over the front door.
Entrance Porch - With oak veneer flooring, there is space here to kick off boots after a local walk. There is a radiator, stairs ahead leading up to the first floor and a wooden door on the left into the Sitting Room
Sitting Room - 4.55 x 3.65 (14'11" x 11'11") - The wide west-facing window provides more magnificent views out to the countryside beyond the village boundary. New oak veneer flooring leads to an ornate fireplace with tiled hearth, decorative surround and mantelpiece. There are wide alcoves either side and the room is spacious, with plenty of options for flexible room layouts. There is also a dado rail, ceiling light fitting and radiator.
Breakfast Kitchen - 4.55 x 2.85 (14'11" x 9'4") - The oak veneer flooring flows through to this bright and airy kitchen. Light pours in from two east-facing windows and part-glazed door leading out to the rear garden. There is plenty of room for a breakfast dining set or (as shown on the photograph) a four seater dining table. The kitchen has an L-shaped worktop with integrated stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap. Underneath are several cabinets, space and plumbing for a washing machine and an integrated refrigerator. Between the two windows is an electric oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor fan above. Several high level cabinets and a Vaillant boiler complete the main kitchen, which has a ceiling light fitting and radiator.
An open entrance leads to a large under-stairs space which would make a perfect pantry. There is a door to the downstairs WC beside this.
Downstairs Wc - With oak veneer flooring, this room contains a ceramic WC and a small frosted double-glazed window.
Stairs To First Floor Landing - The carpeted stairs have a tall window on the right, where the stairs turn left, with a ceiling light fitting above. At the landing, doors lead into the three bedrooms and family bathroom.
Bathroom - 3 x 1.85 (9'10" x 6'0") - With tile-effect vinyl flooring, this room has a bath with mains-fed shower above. The bath has a chrome mixer tap and the shower has a rainforest shower head and separate hand-held attachment. There is a glass pivoting shower screen and tiled surround around the bath and shower.
The large impressive vanity table on the right has a marble top and ceramic bowl with chrome mixer tap. The ceramic WC includes an integrated flush. The room also has a ceiling light fitting, chrome vertical heated towel rail, frosted double-glazed window and extractor fan.
Bedroom One - 3.65 x 3 (11'11" x 9'10") - This is the largest bedroom and also the one with the best views of forested hillsides to the west of the village, through the large window. It's a lovely spot to wake up. This double bedroom is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.
Bedroom Two - 3.45 x 2.7 (11'3" x 8'10") - This carpeted double bedroom has a large window with views over the rear garden to more wooded countryside immediately beyond. This bedroom has a ceiling light fitting and radiator.
Bedroom Three - 2.75 x 2.38 (9'0" x 7'9") - This roomy single bedroom could also be a great home office or nursery. It is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting, as well as yet more lovely views over the rear garden and adjacent countryside.
Rear Garden - Accessed from the kitchen or via the gate at the side of the home, this is a large, secure garden at the rear of the home. Gently sloping upwards, there is a lawn each side of a path that runs the entire length of the garden. A large fence at the top of the garden provides useful storage. Timber fences form the boundary on each side, with a stone wall at the far end.
It's a great blank canvas for a keen gardener or can remain an easy-to-maintain space and wonderful play area for children within sight of the kitchen. The garden is east facing with a full south-facing aspect, so gets the sun all day. It's a great spot for dining and the large apple tree, pretty flowering currant plant and tree heather plant provide colourful nature right on your doorstep.
