3 bedroom detached house for sale

Available for sale for the first time in over forty years and in the same family ownership since new, this very handsome stone and tile hung fronted house that is situated right in the heart of the village and yet nicely tucked back at the end of a long drive and away from the hustle and bustle of the village.This versatile house, as big as a four/ five bedroom property, currently forms a two bedroom house with a one bedroom self contained cottage but could equally form a three bedroom main property with a sizeable self contained annexe that arguably could also be enlarged if required by converting part of the substantial adjoining garage. The property has a sizeable driveway with access to a stone fronted double garage, an open fronted carport/ potential single garage and a large lawned rear garden with a timber decked garden area for the cottage/ annexe.The property would be ideal for a buyer looking for a sizeable family home, with potential to make the property one very large home or for a buyer looking for a two/three bedroom home that currently has substantial ground floor living space and an annexe/ self contained cottage for family members or to rent out with great income potential.The main house and cottage both have lovely views over the rear garden which is over 95 feet in length and views of open rolling countryside beyond. The main house is entered via the entrance porch which leads to an inner hall. Off the inner hall is the dining room/ family room that is a double aspect room with a fireplace with slate hearth and a fitted woodburning stove. Glazed double doors open to the large and very impressive double aspect lounge with its semi vaulted ceiling with inset overhead windows and feature exposed roof timbers. The lounge has lovely views over the rear garden from the Oriel style side window and from the sliding patio door/ window with access to a rear patio.The double aspect kitchen has a range of white fronted kitchen units with cupboards, drawers, marble style worksurfaces and fitted appliances including: touch controllable four ring electric hob with extractor fan above and there is an electric double oven with microwave recess above.

The staircase, just off the dining room/ family room, leads to the first floor landing, which in turn leads to the master suite, the guest bedroom and the family bath/ shower room. We are informed that the landing use to continue through part of bedroom two and linked up to the cottage/ annexe bedroom, which could be easily reinstated in our opinion, if a buyer wanted a third bedroom in the main house. If this was done, the cottage would still form a substantial ground floor annexe with potential to create a new annexe bedroom by converting part of the adjoining garage if required.The master bedroom suite consists a double aspect bedroom with lovely far reaching rural views, access to a generous dressing room that leads to the en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a double aspect double bedroom with lovely far reaching rural views, that even if reinstated as previously described to give landing access to a third bedroom for the house, would still be a very nice double bedroom. The family bath/ shower room is a good size with bath and a separate shower cubicle and there is access to two over stair cupboards, one forms the airing cupboard and the other houses the LPG central heating boiler. The cottage/ annexe has self contained accommodation laid out over two floors with access from the driveway through the cottage front door that leads to the kitchen/ breakfast room with its fitted kitchen that has a breakfast area at one end. A glazed door leads to a lobby with space for a washer/dryer and another glazed door leads to the ground floor shower room.
