Property description

THE PROPERTY A most spacious Georgian built detached house circa.1795 which retains a variety of classic and period features. The property has been maintained over the years but clearly now would benefit from a programme of updating and refurbishment to bring it up to a uniform standard.



This substantial property is Grade II listed. It offers generously proportioned accommodation on the ground floor with a hall having slate flagstone floor, four good sized reception rooms, a large dual aspect kitchen and a spacious utility room. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor with a spacious basement room having good head height. At first floor level five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate wc. In addition walk-in access to an extensive loft room which could be converted to provide additional accommodation.



The property stands on a relatively large plot estimated to extend to some 0.7 of an acre having dual road frontage, the original access from Old Warleigh Lane with a pedestrian gate and door opening into the garage and from the south side a new drive leading up from Station Road which was put in circa.1988 with relevant approval.



A generous size sloping plot with well-established mature gardens, landscaped over the years and having a variety of mature bushes and trees. To the rear of the property an enclosed cobbled walled courtyard with old granite setts and a number of useful outbuildings to the perimeter.



The property has benefitted from updating and improvement in the past but it is anticipated that most prospective purchasers would now wish to undertake a programme of refurbishment to bring it up to a modern uniform standard.



In addition the property and grounds clearly offer further good potential, for example perhaps to remodel the cobb built garage and there is potential space for development by way of building a separate dwelling house within the grounds. No planning permission has been sought.
