Property description

This charming 4 bedroom Grade II listed property of much character, requires some updating, is situated in the centre of Bletchingley village and convenient for local schools and amenities. It has a south facing courtyard garden and is being sold with no onward chain. Dating back to the 17th Century, it was the home of William Pitt 'the Younger', a prominent politician and prime minister in the late 18th Century. This semi detached house offers a wealth of charm and period features such as fireplaces, beamed ceilings and quirky staircases but with good sized rooms and ceiling heights. The deceptively spacious sitting room features a working Inglenook fireplace and this is open to an elegant double aspect dining room, creating ideal entertaining space. The kitchen has a tiled floor, a range of fitted units and two windows. The spacious utility room doubles as a study and is the location of the original bread oven. Leading from here is a cellar, a useful ground floor WC and a door to the courtyard garden. The first floor features a bathroom and two double bedrooms, one of which has an alcove with vanity basin unit. The second floor has two further bedrooms which are interconnecting but each has their own access staircase. NOTE: There are flying freeholds at the property
