Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (13 sq m) with terracotta tiled floor. To the right a door opens to a reception room (19 sq m - currently used as a bedroom). To the left of the hall a door opens to another reception room (20 sq m) with high wainscoting and a marble fireplace.

From here a door opens to the large kitchen (29 sq m) with tiled floor, fireplace and a range of fitted units. To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a corridor that runs the width of the house, joining the main entrance hall.

To the rear of the entrance hall, the long corridor provides access to a further reception room (30 sq m) with tiled floor and a ground floor bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

The two main reception rooms, the entrance hall and the wide corridor all have attractive moulded cornicing.

First floor

The original wooden staircase rises from the rear of the entrance hall/corridor to an extensive first floor landing. The floor plan of the first floor is similar to that of the ground floor. Up here there are four large double bedrooms (31 sq m, 20 sq m, 21 sq m and 19 sq m), all of which have marble fireplaces. Also off the landing is a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

Cellar

A door under the staircase provides access to the extensive cellars, one of which houses the oil-fired central heating boiler and another with the water softener.

Outbuildings

Attached to the house and accessed via a door to the side of the kitchen is a large outbuilding (about 50 sq m) into which it would be easy to extend the habitable accommodation (subject to any relevant permissions. This room currently serves as a very large laundry / store room but which could make a lovely morning room (as it faces to the east).

In addition to this there is another outbuilding and a garage.

Gardens

To the front of the house there is a generous gravel parking area, beyond which is a lawn with a number of mature trees. To the rear is a second walled garden, mainly left to lawn.

This is a very attractive house with great potential. It will require a little updating and redecorating but once this is done it will make a wonderful home.
