A QUINTESSENTIAL EDWARDIAN THREE BEDROOM DETACHED FARMHOUSE with an ARRAY OF OUTBUILDINGS having VAST POTENTIAL for CONVERSION and DEVELOPMENT (subject to planning permission) situated in a PEACEFUL and IDYLLIC LOCATION set within GROUNDS of OVER TWO AND A HALF ACRES.
The property is accessed via a solid wooden door into:
Entrance Hall - Tiled flooring, door into:
Traditional Farmhouse Kitchen - 7.49m x 5.46m (24'7 x 17'11) - Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the traditional farmhouse kitchen has a warm and inviting feel. The original flagstone flooring and exposed beams and brickwork complement the bespoke kitchen units which have solid oak work tops replete with a traditional Belfast sink. There is also ample storage space provided in the larder cupboard. In additional to the oil fired Rayburn, there is a four ring LPG gas hob and there is space for a fridge / freezer. An open fireplace positioned adjacent to the Rayburn adds further character and charm.
Dining Area - Forming part of the farmhouse kitchen, the large dining area has ample space for a table and chairs and would make an ideal family room.
Rear Hall - Here you will find quarry tiled flooring and a door leads to an open porch area with seating and cupboards below. There is also a feature well which can provide water to the property if needed.
Cloakroom / Shower / Utility Room - The cloakroom has a shower unit which is enclosed by tiling, a low-level WC and pedestal wash hand basin with tiled splashback. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine.
Garden Room - 7.44m x 2.72m (24'5 x 8'11) - The garden room is a fantastic space and offers versatility for those requiring an additional living room or indeed a child's playroom, being ideally situated adjacent to the kitchen. It has stone tiled flooring and a gas burning stove. A Velux roof light in conjunction with windows running alongside the periphery and doors at both ends giving access to the gardens, create an abundance of natural light from which to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the setting.
Dining Room - 3.56m x 3.33m (11'8 x 10'11) - The formal dining room, keeping the charm from yesteryear, is a wonderful space in which to entertain and has exposed floor boards, built-in cupboards to either side of the original fireplace with multi-fuel burner. There is also a gas wall mounted lantern.
Sitting Room - 4.11m x 3.81m (13'6 x 12'6) - Exposed beams, floorboards and an original Inglenook fireplace adds real depth of character to this room. Complete with an Esse Iron Heart solid fuel stove, it is ideal for those cosy nights in by the fire.

Bathroom - Suite comprising of roll top bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC with high level cistern. A thumb latch door gives access to an airing cupboard.
Outside - From the lane, a five bar metal gate gives access to the driveway suitable for the parking of several vehicles. Beside the driveway is a picturesque duck pond, an ideal haven for wildlife.
The formal front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, bushes and flower borders interspersed here and there. A beautiful pine tree, complete with wrap around bench creates an ideal seating area from which to admire the setting. Situated within the grounds, there is a small orchard, a fruit cage and vegetable gardens providing an abundance of fresh produce. There are also two green houses.
Discreetly situated behind all the outbuildings and accessed via a separate five bar metal gate, there is a yard which is suitable for parking farm or equestrian vehicles and the like. From the yard, there is also gated access into the paddock which measures approximately two acres, and is all enclosed by hedging and fencing and has the added bonus of having a large shed, ideal for storage use. The shed currently houses the ride on mower.
