3 bedroom house

Originally built as part of the Meynell Estate, a substantial early 20th century semi-detached house. Well-presented throughout, retaining many original features including open fireplaces and stripped pine doors throughout. Centrally heated with an oil fired system, partly double glazed and all benefiting from a new tiled roof, circa 2013.

Offering scope for enlargement subject to planning permission, this property offers a rare and affordable purchasing opportunity in this sought after village and even rarer, the chance to buy a home with a delightful gardens and paddock of 1 acre.

Accommodation: A solid wood traditional front door leads to the spacious, quarry tiled hall with pine spindle balustraded stair leading off, useful guest cloakroom with low level wc, wash hand basin, space for a washing machine and a wall mounted oil fired boiler.

The front facing sitting room enjoys lovely garden views and offers the opportunity for a real fire in the open fireplace which also has bespoke built-in fireside cupboards. There are traditional high level ceilings throughout the property.

The rear facing dining room is more or less of identical size and also offers an open fireplace with bespoke fireside cupboards and rear aspect window.

The kitchen leads off the dining room and has further quarry tiled floor with fitted Aga stove which is oil fired, a fitted base unit and sink unit, space for a fridge/freezer and free standing units, together with space for a breakfast table, where two side aspect windows overlook the garden. Leading off the kitchen, there is a useful side lobby entrance area and a rear porch entrance.

On the first floor is a good sized landing with side garden facing window, giving access to the three bedrooms, family bathroom and airing cupboard.

Bedrooms one and two are both substantial double bedrooms, one facing to the front and the other to the rear. There are original cast iron fireplaces in both. Bedroom three is a small double or good sized single room with further garden facing window.

The family bathroom enjoys a front facing outlook and has a traditional cast iron bath, wash hand basin, low level wc and a loft access hatch.

Outside: Driveway parking for two cars, easily expandable to allow for more. The front, side and rear gardens are privately enclosed and are of the cottage garden design, with a broad range of perennials and shrubbery planting, together with lawns. Within the gardens, there is a brick-built coal store and tool shed, two timber garden sheds, log store and a timber loose box which is 5.3m x 2.9m. The immediately adjacent paddock has boundary hedging, a timber-built field shelter and offers an invaluable and versatile outdoor space.
