SOLD 3 1 1

Property Description

A well-proportioned, 17 feet (5.25m) wide house with impressive 10 feet (3m) high reception room ceilings, offered in good condition with further potential to extend (subject to planning consent).

Currently the ground floor comprises a reception room, formal dining room (or bed 3) and kitchen breakfast room and offers comfortable and practical living spaces. Under the most likely proposed scheme (subject to planning consent) a side extension would transform the area into a large double reception room and extended open plan kitchen and dining room with skylight windows flooding the area with natural light. 

The first floor is arranged as two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and there is a pull-down ladder used to access the attic room (see image), currently used as a twin bedroom by the owner. Once extended the upper floors of the house could be configured into 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms depending on the scheme design (subject to planning consent).

The house also benefits from a good-sized west facing garden which enjoys better direct sun coverage than those that face east. It also boasts a cellar which is a huge advantage and offers a practical storage area, particularly for those who have extended into their loft which largely reduces the useful storage space in a house.

The property has been well maintained and is presented in a classical style giving prospective buyers the option of moving in and doing the refurbishment works over time to create the perfect family home.

Location
