While this lovely property has been well looked after over the years it does require a complete cosmetic update. The need for modernisation gives the new owner a perfect opportunity to update the kitchen and bathroom and style the property to suit their own taste and specifications.
The spacious accommodation within comprises an entrance hallway, a spacious dual aspect living dining room, a kitchen, three double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.
Outside, there is a generous sized block paved driveway providing ample parking. The mature grounds wrap around the front, side and rear of the property. Given the large size of the grounds, there is huge potential here for extending, subject to gaining the usual planning consents. There is also a garage, a gardener’s WC and a store/coal shed.
Description
The property is approached via a generous sized block paved driveway providing plentiful parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the garage situated at the side of the property. The garage has an up and over door to the front and a pedestrian door to the rear. Situated adjacent to the garage is a useful gardener’s WC and a storeroom/coal shed.
As you enter the property through sliding glazed doors, you are greeted by an enclosed porch, with a further door opening through to the entrance hallway.
The welcoming entrance hallway is pleasingly spacious and features parquet flooring, a cloaks cupboard, an airing cupboard and doors accessing the accommodation.
Situated to the right-hand side of the hallway is a dual aspect living dining room. This incredibly spacious room has a feature fireplace at its focal point, a window to the front looking over the fore garden and a door and windows to the rear providing pleasant views over the rear garden.
There is a well-proportioned kitchen comprising a range of wall and base units, with work surfaces over incorporating a stainless-steel sink with drainer. There is space for a slot-in cooker and an extractor above. The kitchen also has tiling to the splashbacks, and a window and a glazed door to the rear garden.
The bedrooms are all double rooms, with bedrooms one and three both situated to the front featuring windows looking over the fore garden. Bedroom three would make for an ideal dining room or office if required.
The second bedroom is situated to the rear and has pleasant views over the garden.
A family bathroom and a separate WC completes the accommodation. The bathroom comprises a panelled bath, a washbasin, tiling to the walls and an obscure-glazed window to the rear.
Conveniently situated adjacent to the family bathroom is the separate WC comprising a low-level WC and a window to the rear.
Gardens and grounds
The impressive grounds including the driveway equate to around 0.3-acres, with the garden accounting for around two thirds of the total plot. The garden is predominately situated on the western boundary and nicely wraps around three sides of the property. This lovely garden has been landscaped into three distinct areas and is bound by a mixture of fencing and mature hedgerow providing privacy.
Please note: Overage will apply should the buyer obtain planning permission for an additional residential dwelling(s) on the property, or any part of the plot is sold separate to the existing dwelling. Ask for further details
