The main central chimney, believed to be original, has been restored with reclaimed Tudor clay bricks with open hearth to the kitchen and an elegant open fireplace to the drawing room as well as cast iron fire fittings in the main bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.
On the first floor, an impressive triple aspect galleried landing enjoys elevated views to the front over the village green and Colne Valley. This leads to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principle bedroom is located above the family room and was well as offering these fantastic views; there is a beautiful aesthetic with an exposed red brick chimney breast fitted with a cast iron fireplace and hearth as well as a contemporary en-suite. The rear bedrooms overlook the courtyard and garden. All three further bedrooms are serviced with a family bathroom which is fitted with a further contemporary suite with free-standing bath and corner shower.
The property is elevated and set back away from the road and village green via a large front garden with a parking area to the side providing parking space for several vehicles. Located adjacent to the rear boundary is L-plan potentially self-contained annex including a double bedroom, shower room and living area with kitchen area. It has been immaculately finished with a vaulted ceiling, beams and hard-wearing wooden floor and could be used for a multitude of purposes. The annexe has been connected with gas, ready for the installation of a fully functioning kitchen. Between the annexe and main house is an idyllic, peaceful courtyard that is filled with evening sunshine and the perfect place to spend long summer nights.
The central courtyard can be accessed through French doors in the lounge and kitchen from the main residence with access to a further garden laid to lawn complete with a summer house / storage outbuilding that is located at the rear side.
