7 bedroom house

Available with NO UPWARD CHAIN. Requiring renovations but with plenty of original features, this substantial Grade II Listed home is built from red brick, with attractive arched windows to the first floor, finished with fluted keyblocks over. Internally, there are a mix of original wooden doors (some in their original form, and some painted) with latch openings, picture rails and some wooden window shutters. The property is in need of some modernisation, but provides spacious and flexible accommodation, currently consisting of seven bedrooms (with the potential for a sizeable eighth bedroom to the second floor), two bathrooms, ground floor cloakroom, three reception rooms, play room, family kitchen, utility, 21’ pantry, boot room and office. There is plenty of additional storage space, as well as a substantial cellar. Outside the property, there are sizeable outbuildings, including a 27’ games room, attached workshop and additional open garage. There are also several other outbuildings including a stable block and piggery, as well as a stand-alone garage and several brick buildings. The plot measures 1.77 Acres (0.71Ha) with grounds consisting of an ample parking area, courtyard garden to the side of the property as well as formal gardens to the front of the home enjoying a south westerly aspect. Further grassed areas to either side of the property provide plenty of scope for a family garden or for dogs to run in. If a purchaser was wishing to purchase further land, this is available by separate negotiation.

In more detail, the property comprises:

uPVC french style double doors open into a modern glazed porch, which provides a lovely seating area to enjoy the garden. An attractive glazed and panelled wooden door, set into a moulded architrave opens into the hallway. The front aspect lounge features a modern fireplace with marble effect surround and hearth, housing an open fire. Front aspect wooden casement window.

A door opens into a further hallway, leading off to the left which gives access to the dining room, kitchen, cellar, stairs to first floor and side lobby. There is a storage heater located in this hallway. The dining room is the largest of the reception rooms, being 22’ long, having a front aspect window and open fire with an ‘Art Deco’ style tiled fireplace surround and hearth. This room also benefits from an older style storage heater.

The Lobby, accessed from the Hallway, gives external access to the side of the property, as well as an entrance into the Drawing Room and cloakroom with attached WC. The Drawing Room is an attractive shape, featuring tall windows to the corners of the room, making it feel very light and airy – with window shutters. There is a more modern tiled fire surround and hearth, housing an inset multi-fuel burner.

To the other side of the lobby is the spacious cloakroom, having coat hooks and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Off this is the WC, with low level flush WC.

A door opens from the Hallway to the staircase leading down to the Cellar – which appears to be dry and consists of two spacious rooms with arched ceilings and an additional small room under the stairs. There are windows to the end of the large rooms, and a variety of stone setlases.

The family kitchen is a spacious room, having a quarry tiled floor, providing plenty of space for a large dining table. This room features a triple width oil fired AGA, as well as a modern hob with extractor fan over, and twin electric mid-level fan assisted ovens, set into the run of units to one side of the room. These ‘Leicht’ units consist of a range of base and wall mounted cupboards and drawers, finished with dark wood effect fronts, which have contrasting worktops over and complementary tiling. Integrated dishwasher. The side aspect window provides plenty of light to the room, which looks onto the courtyard garden. The kitchen opens into a useful utility area to the side, having a full height storage cupboard and fitted with a range of matching cupboards and drawers to the kitchen, contrasting worktops and complementary tiling. Inset sink and drainer unit with rear aspect window overlooking the courtyard. Stairs rise from the kitchen to the play room, which would also make a further ideal office space or reading room.

Off the kitchen is a spacious 21’ pantry, providing plenty of storage for kitchen equipment etc, which has a side aspect window facing the parking area. Off the kitchen to the other side, is a lobby with door opening to the courtyard, and providing access to the useful boot room, with its range of basic cupboards and ‘Belfast’ style sink. An office has been partitioned off this boot room, having high level windows to allow light in. Beyond the office is a useful brick store, fitted with a range of shelves, having a skylight and access door to the rear of the property.

The turned stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor landing, off which are four bedrooms and stairs to the second floor. There is a large linen/airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and a range of wooden slatted shelving.

The Master Bedroom is situated to the rear of the property, with a large shaped chimney breast having an adjacent window and door into built-in wardrobe storage space. The main window to the room overlooks the side of the property, across the fields to the south east. An en-suite provides a double width shower with close coupled WC and pedestal wash hand basin. Side aspect window and electric chrome faced ladder towel radiator.

Bedroom two is situated to the front of the property featuring a further attractive fireplace surround and hearth (open fire is currently boarded over).

Stairs rise from the landing to the second floor landing, off which are three bedrooms and a potential further bedroom, as well as storage cupboard.
Bedroom five is the largest of these three bedrooms, having a ‘Victorian’ style open fire with moulded surround and exposed wooden boards. Bedrooms six and seven are also front aspect rooms, requiring some renovation, with bedroom six having access onto a storage plinth over the stairs. The potential eighth bedroom has a side apect window, beam to the ceiling and open fire place. There are four water tanks in this room, which could easily be boxed off to provide a very spacious bedroom area. A further storage area off the landing extends to the eaves and also houses a water tank.

Outside, the property is approached from the front by a sweeping driveway which extends around the side and front of the property, leading into the parking area. Off this parking area is access to the open garage, workshop and attached games room – a vaulted room having large side aspect windows and currently housing a full sized snooker table, with plenty of room around! To the other side of the
parking area is another block built stand-alone garage and a couple of brick outhouses, which do require some refurbishment. There is a stable block to the side and beyond, a redundant piggery, with a ‘wild’ grassed area leading down to the fields beyond. To the other side of the property is a courtyard garden with gate leading to a further grassed area, also included in the sale, adjacent to the driveway. The formal gardens to the front are attractively arranged, with a thoughtfully designed and planted sunken area and mature borders of established specimen shrubs and trees.
