Property

This quirky property offers a spacious family home with ample land in a rural location. Upon entering the property, one is greeted into the hall with tiled flooring underfoot and a coat cupboard, which houses the electric meters. Heading into; what was once the old Grain Silo which was converted in 1990, is a cosy reception room with wood framed double glazed windows with iron latches and a large wood burner situated on a tiled hearth. A beautifully handmade iron staircase leads one to a further two study/bedrooms, with idyllic views over Hellington and neighbouring villages. Beyond the Silo living room, is a small hallway with utility room to the left; equipped with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer and fridge/freezer and adjacent the utility room, is a bathroom with toilet, hand basin and bath with shower overhead. From the hallway one is lead into a spacious country kitchen, sizeable enough to house a dining table. With tiled flooring; wooden wall and base units housing the integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and a skylight overhead, this allows for a light and social space for the whole family. A stable door with blown-glass panel, off of the kitchen, leads one out to a shingle walkway dividing the property and garden where the oil tank and outside tap can be found. Heading out of the kitchen; one is met with a hallway with a back door which gives access to the shingle walkway and directly onwards is the master bedroom with en-suite shower room. This bedroom boasts a spacious and light space with en-suite shower room with modern tiles, toilet, basin and modern shower enclosure; with views from the bedroom overlooking the garden and fields beyond. A further two bedrooms can be found down the hallway with skylights, TV points and loft access. Both are equal in size and with views into the courtyard. A separate cloakroom is situated opposite the two bedrooms with a toilet and corner wash basin. The entrance hall has further access leading into the workshop which boasts a tremendous space, perfect for a range of business or personal use and with the potential of having Phase 3 electricity; this workshop is ideal for use by builders, carpenters and light industrial work if required to be connected to their residential property. Large double doors lead one out into a courtyard area with a large garage and store directly opposite. MUST SEE!



Outside

Approaching the property is a brick and ornate Iron Gate access leading onto a shingle driveway. To the right of the driveway is access leading onto the 3.5 acres of picturesque land (STS), which benefit from already being segregated into paddocks; ideal for personal or business equestrian use. Following the driveway, leads to a courtyard area situated between the two ends of the property; with one currently being used as a large workshop and the other as a garage with pit. To the rear of the property, where the driveway extends, are 6 outbuildings perfect for storage, carports or workshops and neatly situated in the corner of the plot. This is an ideal addition for machinery storage or additional workshops to suit a business onsite. The rear garden is located adjacent to the 6 outbuildings and is enclosed with fence, wall and hedgerow and has a large patio area, perfect for outdoor seating and entertaining family and friends. The oil tank and outside water tap can be located between the garden and the back of the property via a shingle walkway. The plot is vast and acceptable to change and therefore could be developed to acquire more accommodation, thus making this a lucrative investment property for a potential buyer.
