Pretty listed village house set in about a quarter of an acre.
Description
A charming four bedroom grade II listed house situated on the outskirts of this popular village within the heart of the Colne Valley. Dating back to the late C14 this attractive timber framed and plastered house provides many traditional period features including exposed timbers and attractive red-brick fireplaces. Originally believed to be two dwellings, dating back to 1370 and 1500, the property is steeped in local history having been a butcher’s and coal merchant’s. The property is now a comfortable home offering four first floor bedrooms accessed via two independent staircases. To the ground floor there are two large reception rooms, heavily timbered, and both enjoying large inglenook fireplaces. The sitting room has a fitted log burning stove. To the rear of the house is a kitchen with a range of wood fronted units and work surfaces. Appliances include two built in electric cookers, Smeg gas hob, built in microwave and dishwasher. Separating the kitchen and reception space is a useful utility room and a ground floor bathroom. Adjacent to the house is an attractive red-brick detached stable, currently being utilised for storage, but offering excellent potential.
Outside
The house fronts the road with a side drive leading to the rear of the house providing an extensive area of parking. Beyond is a charming, red-brick detached stable with the original manger in situ and a full length hay loft above currently used for storage. The building is connected to mains electricity and offers the potential to be converted into ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. To the immediate rear of the house, which can also be accessed from the kitchen, is a small courtyard. The garden is established and provides an expanse of lawn interspersed with a selection of specimen trees with open farmland views beyond towards Chalkney Woods. There is lighting in the garden and a greenhouse which will remain. The garden is south east facing and is approximately 185 ft in length. To the rear of the garden is a right of way to the Tey Road. Total plot size of 0.25 of an acre.
