A DISTINCTIVE, WELL APPOINTED, SEMI DETACHED PERIOD HOUSE AND A HANDSOME AND UNIQUE CONVERSION OF A DETACHED PERIOD COACH HOUSE, PROVIDING AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR MULTI GENERATIONAL LIVING OR AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAM, IN A SPECIAL GARDEN SETTING, 500 YARDS FROM AUDLEM VILLAGE CENTRE.

Description - An impressive semi detached house, constructed of brick under a tiled roof and approached over its own private tarmacadam drive to a gravel Courtyard, car parking and turning. The house dates back in part to the mid 18th Century and was modernised, enlarged and reconfigured in 2006 by John Williams, a local builder of repute. The accommodation extends to about 2,960 square feet (gross internal) plus the Attics (729 square feet). Originally a detached house, Turnstones is attached to Beech House, a Victorian villa, only at the rear. Indeed, Turnstones has the feel of a detached property, particularly in relation to the high level of privacy which the house and gardens offer. Turnstones and its immediate neighbour, The Coach House, have been in the Thornton family for 98 years. The overall impression is that of a house that has retained its sense of history and character, combined with modern day living concepts and design expertise, the whole being a splendid, well lit, family home.

Turnstones benefits from private and beautifully presented mature gardens to the side and rear. With a marvellous feel the large gardens feature lawns, well tendered mature shrubs, a kitchen garden and an entertaining area overlooking open countryside. The gardens provide colour and interest through the seasons.

The Coach House is constructed of brick under a tiled roof and approached over a block paved drive. It is a most individual and thoughtfully designed split level property converted from the former Coach House to Beech House. The renovation was carried out by John Williams, a local builder of repute. This charming home offers an adaptable living space of 1,350 square feet plus the integral garage (225 square feet) and has been refurbished to an excellent standard. A particular feature being the well proportioned living room with French windows enjoying a Southerly aspect over the well nurtured gardens.

Externally, the gardens are a delight, have matured over the years and provide colour and interest through the seasons.

As it stands Turnstones and The Coach House offer supremely versatile accommodation that lends itself to totally independent multi generational living. Alternatively The Coach House could be utilised to generate a revenue stream which may include rental, holiday let or indeed, AirBnB.
