Property description
A substantial period village home that offers a great deal of potential and versatility coming to the market for the first time in over 100 years. The house requires some renovation and improvement, with some period features ready to be uncovered. The house sits in a plot of just over 1/3 of an acre, and there may be the possibility of a building plot or plots, subject of course to gaining any of the necessary consents.
DESCRIPTION
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and the existing layout could be re-configured, if required, to provide a really fabulous home in the heart of this popular village. The front door opens into an entrance lobby and then into an inner hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening onto each of the ground floor rooms. The kitchen is a good size with a comprehensive range of wall and base units and space for a table. There are two reception rooms, both with tiled fireplaces and hearths and to the rear of the house is a pleasant sun room with door leading out to the parking area. On the ground floor there is also a cloakroom and two stores off the kitchen.
On the first floor there are six rooms, three of which are interconnecting. By reconfiguring some of the layout this floor could offer four or five good sized bedrooms perhaps with an ensuite bathroom. In addition there are currently two bathrooms and a separate shower room.
OUTSIDE From Goose Street and running to the side of the house is a driveway which leads into a large parking and turning area which ample space for several vehicles. Immediately to the rear of the house is a range of block built garages, some of which are in need of repair. Beyond the garages lies the garden area which is enclosed by stone walls and is slightly elevated.
AGENTS NOTE Subject to gaining any of the relevant consents, this area could potentially provide a further development opportunity, perhaps to create a separate dwelling. Please note that no enquiries have been made of the local planning authority in this regard and potential purchasers are encouraged to rely on their own investigations.
