3 bedroom detached house for sale

A delightful stone house, in need of updating, with fabulous garden, parking and garage, set in the heart of this popular village.

This attractive stone house was previously three thatched cottages, belonging to the Elton Hall Estate, and dating from around 1660. It is Listed Grade II. In the 1980s it was recognised as two dwellings and sometime after that, it was knocked through to a single dwelling. There are two staircases, two bathrooms and potentially two kitchens, so it would be easy to split again into separate dwellings, if desired. The property has been in the same ownership for many years and is now in need of updating and some repairs.

The handsome front door opens to the hall. The living room is to one end, and has an inglenook with open fire, attractive mullioned window with seat beneath. A door opens to the garden. The kitchen is in the heart of the house and is fitted with a range of units with worksurfaces and a sink. The lobby beyond, provides access to the garden and to the shower room / WC. The dining room has a mullioned window and a fireplace. To the rear is another lobby, leading through to a full bathroom. Beside the dining room is the utility room, which can serve as a full kitchen if the house was to be split again.

There are two staircases to the first floor. One staircase leads from the kitchen to the main landing, which provides access to two comfortable bedrooms. The main bedroom has a handsome fireplace. There would have been a staircase to one corner, rising to an attic, that is no longer accessible, but windows are still visible in the gable end. This could possibly be reinstated, to create a further bedroom.

The second staircase leads from the dining room to a small landing providing access to a good double bedroom. The stairs continue up to an attic bedroom, which as windows in the gable end.

The house has a handsome façade on to Chapel Street. Gated side access leads to the garden. There is also gated vehicle access from Hautboy Lane, into the garden, where there is a driveway, providing parking and leading on to the double garage. The garden is delightful, with a good-sized lawn interspersed with mature trees. There are rockeries and flower beds, adding colour and interest. The garden enjoys good privacy.
