A most attractive three bedroomed detached country cottage offering potential for modernisation and possible extension, with outbuildings and land extending, in all, to around 2 acres, situated in a super rural location.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer The Laurels at the Ridge, Nr Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty.

The Laurels is a most attractive three bedroomed detached country cottage offering potential for modernisation and possible extension, with outbuildings and land extending, in all, to around 2 acres, situated in a super rural location.

The internal accommodation, which has been well maintained by the current vendors during their 30 years plus occupation of the property, provides, on the ground floor, a Reception Hall, Kitchen Breakfast Room, Utility Room/Rear Entrance Hall, Living Room and downstairs Cloakroom together with three first floor bedrooms and a family Bathroom. The property benefits from partially double glazed windows and an oil fired central heating system (from the Rayburn in the kitchen).

Outside, the property is complimented by a brick paved drive to the rear which leads to a parking and manoeuvring area fronted by a Car Port.

The gardens are an attractive feature of the property and are positioned principally to the front of the house, currently laid to lawn retained by mature hedging with a paved patio area to the front providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining.

There are a number of most useful outbuildings, including two traditional brick and slate roofed buildings to the rear providing potential for a number of usages or possible conversion into Holiday Lets/Annex etc (subject to LA consent). There is also a 3 bay machinery storage shed (13.5m x 5m).

The land is an unexpected feature of the property and is retained within two principal enclosures of permanent pasture with a separate vehicular access from the adjacent country lane. The land is level and ideal for grazing of a variety of animals.
