3 bedroom house

FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER - Well-situated on the outskirts of the popular rural village of Sutton St Nicholas, a semi detached former farmhouse, together with barns, gardens and grounds, in total extending to just over 1/2 an acre.

Situation and Description
This interesting property lies on the northern side of the attractive village of Sutton St Nicholas which itself is a thriving village with a popular primary school, a village hall, public house, church and a regular bus service to and from the cathedral city of Hereford, which lies some 3 miles away.

Originally a small farm, the property has been extended and subdivided over the years to create two semi-detached cottages with no. 1 Frankhurst offering huge potential for improvement and development. There are two small barns, former gardens, which are a good size, all of which extends to just over 1/2 an acre. The house currently benefits from oil fired central heating and offers excellent living space with a large sitting room and a number of period features. Now requiring modernisation, it offers huge potential, in our view.

Initially approached by a shared private driveway, a gate leads to a parking and turning area to one side and a porch and door to the front lead into a reception hall. From here access can be gained to a large sitting room, with sash window, a fireplace and double doors opening to the garden.. There is a separate dining room with a brick fireplace and a rear entrance porch, off which is a kitchen, a walk-in pantry and a good sized utility room/cloakroom.

On the first floor, the landing has a sash window overlooking the drive and provides access to three main bedrooms, a study or fourth bedroom, a shower room and separate wc.

The property stands in attractive grounds, which have fallen into disrepair in recent years, but offer huge potential to provide once again a very attractive garden. There is a courtyard of buildings, which although small, offer a potential for a variety of uses. These comprise a traditional two storey cider barn and a smaller single storey workshop and store.

Outbuildings: May not be in a stable condition and entry should be taken with caution.
