5 bedroom property for sale

A rare opportunity to purchase a charming home tucked away at the end of a private driveway on a green lane in St. John. The house is totally private yet only five minutes from the village amenities, M&S and the harbour at Bonne Nuit for a swim.

The accommodation is extensive though now in need of complete modernisation and offers circa 4,000 sq ft of living space over two floors. Originally, an old granite cottage occupied the site as a small farmstead and many historic features have been retained when a modern house was built on in the 1960s to create a large family home for the present owners. The main house very briefly comprises; 2 reception rooms, study and kitchen whilst upstairs are 3 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all serviced by 2 bathrooms and an additional lavatory, eaves storeroom, large airing cupboard and a spacious attic spanning the entire house. On the ground floor overlooking the garden is a separate one bedroom annexe, ideal for guests or independent family members to have their own space. There is also an additional workshop on the side of the annexe.

The original cottage now houses the scullery, boiler room, double garage and workshop and also has a large loft which is ripe for expansion if required (all subject to Planning).

The whole site is level and covers 1.5 acres (4,850 sqM) with formal gardens to the south of the house, well stocked with mature planting, clipped lawns and beautiful specimen trees and winding paths lead you to explore secret areas and a disused tennis court. Behind the house is a kitchen garden and mature orchard and to the east is a secondary vehicular access onto the road. There is a detached single garage, parking for many cars and various stores and outbuildings also offering essential outside storage for a property of this scale.

Well water and septic tank and soakaway drainage, both mains services in the road on the northern boundary. Oil fired central heating (boiler out of service). School catchment; St Johns parish school. Freehold
