Property description
Fronting the A30, Halstead is an interesting property comprising a detached bungalow with tandem double garaging, double car port and detached barn. The whole is set within an enclosed plot extending to about 0.35 acre.
The bungalow, Halstead was built in 1946 and has been occupied by the current owners who purchased it privately in 1979 which makes this the first time that the property has been offered for sale since its construction. Presented in good order, the accommodation is double glazed, centrally heated and well proportioned. The living room is light and airy with an open fire place and connects to a double glazed conservatory which was constructed in 2009. A particular feature is the farmhouse kitchen (extended in 1994) which is both light and spacious with views over the garden. Off the kitchen is a large utility room/boot room through which access is gained to the garage. There are two double bedrooms and a large single bedroom currently used as a study.
To the rear of the plot is a substantial detached barn built in 1993, the proportions of which are truly impressive with a 40ft square footprint, internal ridge height of approximately 25ft and full opening doors with a head clearance of 15ft.
The plot is completely enclosed and laid mainly to lawn with numerous flowering shrubs and trees. The main access is off the Swallowcliffe Lane to the side with additional access to the rear via locking gates.
Halstead is a truly impressive property offering immense potential and should be viewed without delay.
