This property has been a well-loved family home for over 50 years and now offers the new owners a chance to restore and update the property throughout.
The property begins in the generous hallway which leads to all principal rooms, stairs to the first floor as well as access to the basement and downstairs cloakroom. The impressive front aspect sitting room captures attention with its delightful bay window, original shutters and a decorative fireplace, creating a warm and inviting ambience. Adjacent is the dining room which has a charming fireplace and plenty of space for a dining table to entertain friends and family. From here, a door leads into the bright and airy conservatory which enjoys views out to the pretty garden with a door providing convenient access outside. The rear aspect kitchen boasts original wooden pantry style cupboards, whilst additional wooden base and eye level units provide additional storage. There is also an electric cooker, plenty of worktops as well as views out to the garden. The real focal point to this space is the grand fireplace which currently houses the boiler but would make an ideal space for a traditional AGA. A single door leads through to the old Scullery, which is a wonderful additional space, bursting with charm and includes original red brick tiles and Butler sink. This would make an ideal utility room which also has useful access to the rear garden. The basement, which is separated into three separate rooms provide ample storage and also offers the new owner the potential to create additional living spaces or a dedicated space for remote homeworking.
Stairs rise to the 1st floor landing which provides access to three of the bedrooms as well as a useful storage cupboard. Bedrooms two and three enjoy charming feature fireplaces and garden views whilst original wooden flooring provide a nod to the properties period heritage.
From the landing a short flight of stairs leads up to the to the main bedroom which impresses with generous proportions, feature fireplace and double aspect, making this room a wonderfully bright and airy space. Adjacent is the family bathroom which offers plenty of space for a modern three-piece bathroom suite. Stairs rise to the second floor which provides access to two further bedrooms which are both good size doubles as well as useful eaves storage.
