The Property
35 The Green is Grade II listed - indicating a property of architectural or historical importance. Once a village store, milliners shop and a haberdashery the property has been used for a variety of purposes since its construction in the 16th Century. The house offers total versatility and could be adopted to many uses for someone looking for extensive flexible accommodation. Naturally we draw your attention to the floor plan to explain the full extent of the accommodation.
On entering via the front door, you will walk into the first of the reception rooms, which is currently used as a play room/office. The room has a large inglenook fireplace and a window to front aspect. The main sitting room has an inglenook fireplace, window to front aspect and French doors leading out into the garden room. The garden room is situated to the back of the house with views over the garden and faces west. The kitchen has a selection of pine cabinets, space for a dining table and an Aga. Adjacent is a useful utility area with space for appliances and further storage. Back into the hallway are a number of storage cupboards, a cloakroom and access into the shop. The shop is currently not in use but could be used as an additional reception room or as a commercial shop with potential to be let separately from the house. The shop has a separate wc/cloakroom.
Situated on the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, dressing room, study room and en-suite shower room. On the second floor are a number of large attic rooms which provide excellent storage and could be created into further accommodation, subject to consents. The attic rooms originally had dormer windows but these were removed in the mid 20th century.
Outside
To the front of the property is a small garden, with a slightly raised brick wall. The rest of the gardens remain to the rear of the property with a lovely lawn area, patio and flower beds. Situated to the centre of the garden is a stunning magnolia tree which is a lovely slight when in full bloom. The
garden has double gates which lead out to an allocated parking space. The rear gardens are westerly facing and benefits from two outside stores.
