2 Bedroom Detached House

Believed to date back to circa 1890, this character property is located down an unadopted, no through  road with just three other houses, which are staggered in pairs so that you don’t look out onto each other. This house looks out over a paddock to the front and over its own 0.6 acres to the rear, all of which is surrounded by woodland, creating a green backdrop and screen from the outside world.

To the front of house there is parking availale on the access road.

The house offers well-proportioned rooms with excellent ceiling heights and good storage. It currently comprises two double bedrooms, and is considered to offer further scope for extending (as next door have), subject to the necessary consents.

Key features of the house include exposed wooden floorboards, drop latch internal doors, a woodburning stove on a raised hearth with Oak mantle over in the sitting room, farm-house style kitchen, separate utility room with WC, feature fireplace in one of the bedrooms and double glazing throughout.

The kitchen is fitted with pale wall and base units, wooden worktops, twin-Belfast sink, an integrated oven, hob and undermount fridge and stone flooring. There is space for a dining table and chairs. The separate utility room also has a handy WC and space/plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher.

The bathroom features a roll-top, double ended bath plus separate shower cubicle, limestone floor tiles, heated towel rail, vanity unit, period style high-level WC, and built-in storage. There is also a pretty panelled door with stained glass inserts opening into the room.

The gardens are very private and wrap around the side and rear of the house. The present owners have cleared a lot of the grounds and have created seating areas as well as a chicken run/coop, and polytunnel/planting area. There are also a couple of garden stores in the grounds. Fenced off at the end of the garden, in the woods, there is also a small, naturally fed pond that the owners have enlarged as they had ducks. Whether you have an adventurous child, are a keen gardener, like to entertain or want to live off your land, with a garden like this you are covered on all bases.
