Owners say, “When we bought the property nearly 40 years ago, the vast amount of space in this Victorian architectural gem of a home was hard to find anywhere else.”
Step into a world of timeless elegance with this sizeable period home, perfectly blending classic charm with modern convenience.
As you enter the property you are greeted with a wash of character as the generous originally tiled hallway gives access to most rooms on the ground floor. The SITTING ROOM offers a fantastic space to sit and unwind in front of an open fire with friends and family. The double doors to the rear connect the room seamlessly to the outside whilst the high ceiling, wall lights and picture rails continue with the period features. The DINING ROOM is another sizeable space offering a bay fronted window, picture rails, wall light and marble fireplace with gas fire and marble surround. The third and final reception room is the STUDY. This room could be used in all manner of ways, with a window to the rear aspect and useful storage cupboards.
The KITCHEN, ripe for modernisation, presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on the property. Currently, this comprises of a built-in hob, double stainless steel sink and drainer, high level double oven, stainless steel splash back, serving hatch, roll top work surfaces and has space for a fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the handy UTILITY room which has space for appliances and has a window and door which lead out to the rear garden. Concluding the ground floor is a door that leads to the vaulted ceiling WINE CELLAR and by the front door, a CLOAKROOM, which has a high level cistern and W.C. along with a window to the front aspect.
Upstairs the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM matches the property in grandeur with a bay fronted window, picture rails, feature fireplace, built in wardrobe and built in storage. BEDROOM TWO is a beautiful dual aspect room taking in stunning views of the rear garden whilst still having a feature fireplace, picture rails and copious amounts of built in storage. BEDROOM THREE and BEDROOM FOUR both have windows to the rear aspect, feature fireplaces, picture rails and have built in storage options.
The FAMILY BATHROOM utilises the best of both worlds with a bath that has a shower over, dual aspect windows, exposed floorboards, W.C., fitted cupboard and a pedestal wash hand basin.
The exterior of this home is equally impressive. The fully enclosed walled REAR GARDEN offers a private oasis for relaxation and outdoor activities for all of the family. There are numerous potting borders, a green house, a separate outbuilding which was used as a workshop and pedestrian access to the double garage. Both the double garage and outbuilding need attention but provide a blank canvas providing an opportunity to add your own personality to this wonderful home. There is a separate brick built shed and outside W.C., outside tap, outside light along with multiple fruit trees in the rear garden.
The FRONT walled garden with its cast iron portico, pond, and various potting areas offers a beautiful space that separates the home from the outside world.
The shared access road is owned by the property to one side so parking for numerous vehicles is a breeze.
