Description
Askers House, justifiably listed Grade II as being of architectural interest, is understood to have been constructed circa 1714 and sits in a central village location off a quiet village lane. This most attractive detached property has charming dressed stone elevations under a pitched slate roof with stone gable copings on both flanks and spacious well arranged accommodation over two floors together with a large attic space on the second floor with potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. On the ground floor is an attractive sitting room with stone mullion windows, open fireplace and stripped wood floor, a reception hall with flagstone floor, second reception room with fireplace and wood burning stove, well fitted kitchen with AGA, utility room and WC.
On the first floor is a bright airy principal bedroom with painted white sash windows, two further bedrooms and a dressing room or small fourth bedroom or nursery.
Outside
The house is situated on a quiet village lane with access to a car port and garage on the northern boundary. To the east is a pretty stone wall with pedestrian gate to the garden. The rear garden is delightful, centered around a level lawn and enclosed on all sides in part by a wall and in part by hedging. Immediately to the rear of the house is a stone terrace which runs along to a south westerly facing seating area leading out from the kitchen. The rear of the house has a magnificent mature Wisteria and the remainder of the garden has a wealth of mature shrubs, plants and a pretty Cherry tree is beginning to become a focal point. At the rear of the garden is a smart, white painted timber summer house and a greenhouse and a stone path encircles the garden. In all the whole extends to about 0.23 acres.
