The Old Police House is an impressive and deceptively spacious four bedroom detached house overlooking open fields in the village of Cossall. Local residents remember this property as the village police house with a reputation for being a strong and significant house in Cossall. A well built, sympathetically extended house, the present owners have updated and modernised the layout to provide spacious flexible living accommodation which is immaculately presented. The current owners have paid particular attention to the specification and finish of their home including using solid oak flooring throughout the ground floor, high quality kitchen and bathroom fittings and decorating throughout with Farrow and Ball colours.With a large double aspect family/dining room, and a separate more intimate sitting room, the house is great for entertaining or for a cosy night in. The huge bespoke kitchen/breakfast room has solid oak worktops and floors and overlooks the large hardwood conservatory, which is also great for entertaining. The separate utility room and WC add a practical element to the ground floor. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms having built in wardrobes and the master bedroom also has a vanity unit with a sink and charming window seat with storage. The new large family bathroom has a huge bath, separate large shower cubicle a bespoke vanity unit and a WC. A separate shower room, recently refitted, has a modern power shower, WC and vanity unit. Outside, there is a large new patio area off the conservatory and family room, and a further sun patio surrounded by the lawn. The trees and hawthorn hedges create a private and sheltered feel in the large rear garden. The carport is a useful feature which has planning permission for conversion to a garage. Handmade wooden gates, set in a low level brick wall, lead to the front garden which has lawned areas with specimen trees and a block paved drive with space for up to five cars. The house is set well back from the road and trees and hedges ensure seclusion and privacy.It is a rare opportunity to find a property that offers both space inside and out with the charm of its history and the practicality of large open rooms.
