Property description
*** PART EXCHANGE CONSIDERED ***
Semi rural detached period cottage close to town, 4 Reception Rooms, Large plot, Exceptional old oak beams, Master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, 4 further bedrooms, House Bathroom, Fabulous family breakfast kitchen, Utility, Cloakroom, Large lawn, Oil fired central heating, Septic tank, Double glazing throughout, Scope, subject to planning permission, for further enlargement particular at first floor level.
The property, dating back to the 1850s and built under a traditional tiled roof with attractive decorative chimney pots and replacement double glazed timber framed casement windows ( there are some uPVC timber effect as well but these are completely indistinguishable from the others), stands sideways onto the road as is typical of its age, and boasts many period features, particularly inside. Many of the ceilings are heavily beamed and the large country breakfast kitchen with its beautiful ‘Eaton’ Shaker style kitchen units and its patchwork quilt effect coloured splash backs, with quality solid oak surfaces, whilst actually representing the best of contemporary materials, is totally in keeping with the original oak, the old stone floor and the reclaimed and reproduction ledge and brace doors. The pièce de resistance has to be the lounge; heavily beamed throughout and, seemingly originally two rooms having two inglenooks with old oak beam lintels and matching herringbone brickwork to the back walls, the room oozes character and substance. French doors and another opening to the light and airy dining room which also serves as a garden room having two sets of french doors, separate widows and roof lights, ensures the room has plenty of natural light. The garden is South facing. The property is serviced by a Worcester oil fired central heating to radiators. There is an intruder alarm installed. Solar panels for water heating.
Having entered through an obliquely set gate, the gravel drive swings round and ahead behind the long garden, lies the old cottage. ‘Cottage’ is somewhat of a misnomer, as, originally at least two (and quite likely three) cottages and having been sympathetically extended on the ground floor, this five bedroom house affords plenty of accommodation and with three particularly generous interconnecting reception rooms, making a perfect entertaining space offers ideal versatility for family life. Subject to planning permission, there is potential for extension over the dining room and sitting room.
