7 bedroom detached house for sale

VACANT POSSESSION

A substantial detached 7 bedroom family home dating back to the early 18th Century, set in approximately 3/4 of an acre of gardens and just a short walk from the village centre. The property is Grade ll listed and has been extended and altered over the years. It is constructed of brickwork under a tiled roof with the accommodation over three floors, in addition to a basement cellar accessed from the rear hallway. Other key benefits include the many period features throughout the property such as exposed timbers and Inglenook fireplace plus various outbuildings: An old stable block with three loose boxes and a store, double garage, further store and potting shed, and a timber log store. The stable block offers the opportunity for conversion into perhaps office space or an annexe, for example, (subject to planning permission). The extensive gardens include a walled rose garden and an orchard of fruit trees to the rear. There are multiple mature shrub and flower beds and areas laid to patio, ideal for outdoor furniture. The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout.
