DESCRIPTION

Barley Wood is believed to date from the early 1900’s having originally been two semi-detached cottages which have since been remodelled to create a 3 bedroom detached home. The property is constructed of brick with rendered elevations under a slate roof and has the benefit of double glazing throughout. The immediate setting is private being accessed off Green Lane which is an unadopted lane with very little passing traffic.

The front door opens into a porch off which is a downstairs w.c. and further opens into the inner hall. Off the inner hall is the sitting room which has moulded ceiling cornice, ceiling rose and stove within a decorative fireplace. The snug is a cosy room with access to the kitchen and conservatory. The kitchen has a tiled floor with fitted base units to include twin stainless steel sink unit with drainer, SMEG dishwasher and 2 ring Rayburn stove. The living room is to the front of the house, being identical in size and style to the sitting room with log burning stove within a brick fireplace and on a stone hearth. The conservatory spans most of the rear elevation with access to it from both the kitchen and snug. The conservatory has a pedestrian door to the side and double doors opening onto the garden. At first floor level there are 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedrooms 1 & 2 are identical in size with dual aspect and both have the benefit of built-in sliding wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is a slightly smaller room, again with dual aspect. The family bathroom is a particularly large having a laminate floor, tiled walls, panelled bath, shower cubicle, low flush w.c. and pedestal hand basin.

Having previously been two cottages, Barley Wood has the benefit of two entrance gates, either side of the house. To the right is a gravelled parking area in front of the detached garage, which is constructed of block with flat felt roof, having light and power. To the front of the house is a small lawned area and to the left of the house a further grassed area leading to the front door. At the rear of the property is a large lawned garden with mature trees, shrubs and fruit trees. To the rear of the garage is a series of sheds and useful workshop.
