Property description
Smugness is an undesirable character trait. However, it's not hard to feel smug when you own a property like Sedgeford House! To simply state that it is 'big' is almost laughable; an understatement at the very least. Just as incredible is the fact that the current owners moved here for their 'retirement' and have subsequently built up a bed and breakfast business that has flourished beyond their wildest dreams. Of course, this is just the icing on the cake, but nonetheless, it is there as a 'fall back', should you decide to quit the rat race and run your own business. Whether you follow this route or just decide to live here in a large family home is clearly your choice, but rest assured, there's plenty of space, whatever you decide. A house of this proportion could easily accommodate 2 generations of the same family (possibly even 3 if you decided to convert the 42' loft) and not only that, there is a useful 2 storey outbuilding, ideal for hobbies or use as an office, if working from home. Let's face it, the permutations are endless! You may think that the cost of running a property of this magnitude will be stomach churning. Since our clients purchased it, they have added solar roof panels, photovoltaic cells and a multi-fuel stove downstairs, all of which help keep the utility bills down to manageable levels. Apart from the expansive accommodation, there is also the benefit of extensive parking on the block paved driveway, in addition to garaging (in the unlikely event that anyone actually bothers to use a garage for a car these days!). The gardens are easily managed and there may be the possibility of acquiring further adjoining land by separate negotiation, if required. That aside, this property is conveniently located on the edge of the town and is particularly well placed for the bypass for travel throughout a wide geographical area.
