This property enjoys a wealth of charm and character with elements dating back to the 16th Century providing a sense of history within the building.
As you step into the property the hallway sets the tone for a welcoming entrance with wood panelling to the lower parts of the walls and glazed French doors leading out to the delightful rear garden.
To the left of the hallway there is an internal annexe with large sitting room, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom, currently used as a beauty salon. This area flows seamlessly with the main accommodation whilst offering a potential self contained annexe for a family member.
To the right of the entrance hall a wonderful living room beckons with a majestic Hamstone inglenook fireplace as its centrepiece. Other features include a magnificent 9 bay deep moulded beamed ceiling, blue lias flagstone floor, window seat and original Hamstone winding stairs (no longer leading to the first floor).
Adjoining the living room is an inner hallway/study area with a mullion window and window seat. From this area stairs give access to the first floor, as well as a useful store with plumbing and large cloakroom.
A further hallway leads to the remaining ground floor accommodation comprising characterful farmhouse style kitchen featuring a heather coloured aga, attractive brick recess with built-in oven and hob, beamed ceiling and flagstone floor. Modern utility room fitted with a range of base units topped with a solid wood work surface and sink. To the far end of the hallway is a delightful family/dining room with dual aspect windows, flagstone floor and attractive Hamstone fireplace with wood burning stove.
Stairs from the ground floor inner hall/study rise to the first floor landing with exposed floorboards, timbers and two windows to front aspect.
To the right end of the landing are bedrooms one and five. These rooms are interconnecting with bedroom five being an ideal dressing room for the master bedroom. However, these rooms could be reconfigured to allow separate access to both rooms.
Further along the landing is bedroom three, a generous double room with an outlook over the rear garden.
To the far end of the property are two further bedrooms. Bedroom two is a large double room with a dual aspect, exposed beams and wide exposed floorboards. Bedroom four is a small double bedroom with window to front aspect and exposed floorboards.
Completing the first floor accommodation are two bathrooms and separate WC.
Outside
To the front of the property there is a garden ideal for pots and tubs fronted with railings. A path leads to the front door with a large period lantern. To the left of the house, sliding doors provide access to undercover parking which opens to the rear garden and outbuildings.
To the rear and side of the house are substantial gardens, offering a large expanse of lawn bordered by established shrubs, hedges and Hamstone walling. To the side of the garden is an historic well.
Beyond the undercover parking is a concrete forecourt with space for four to five vehicles. There are a number of useful outbuildings including a large garage, workshop and various store rooms. These outbuildings provide significant potential for development for a variety of uses including an additional annexe, home office or holiday let, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning. To the rear of the garden is an open fronted cabin ideal for a teenagers den or a place to seat and relax after a busy day.
