5 bedroom detached house

Tanners is a charming character family home, which we understand dates back to circa 1835. The house would now benefit from improvement and provides an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to stamp their own mark on this charming and surprisingly spacious circa 3,000 sq ft property.

Tanners can best be described as bottom heavy, benefiting from particularly generous living and entertaining rooms on the ground floor which offer great flexibility, together with a family kitchen and breakfast room adjoining two conservatories opening directly to the terraces and south-facing gardens. On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms and two bathrooms (1 en suite).

The property which is set well back in its plot is approached via a fivebar gateway into a gravelled drive providing ample parking and turning space for numerous vehicles. The front boundary is well defined by a hedgerow with the garden in the main laid to level lawn. To the rear, again the gardens are laid to level lawn interspersed with an assortment of specimen trees together with brick terracing benefiting from a southerly aspect.

Included in the sale is the adjacent woodland called Tanners Copse. In all approx 5.55 acres.
