The house has been well maintained and offers a fantastic opportunity as a project, with potential to extend to the rear or into the loft, remodel and update to suit the new owners wishes (subject to consents).

The property has a number of period features including the wood panelled doors typical of the 1930s, a bay window at the front of the house and built-in cabinetry in the dining room. Though somewhat dated, the interiors have been well looked after (including new carpets added last year) and are presented in a neutral style that’s ideal for easy personalisation. A glazed porch opens to an entrance hallway which provides access to a sitting room at the front, a dining room with access to the garden and a separate kitchen. There is also a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs the two generous double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and there is a further smaller double which could equally make a good children’s bedroom or a home office. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. The rooms at the front of the house have lovely views over open farmland.

Outside

The house is set well back from the road, behind a lawned garden and a private driveway that leads up to the house, with a separate paved path leading up to the front door. The rear garden faces west and is enclosed by mature hedging and wooden panel fencing, with a number of trees adding interest. Adjoining the house is a paved patio and two large wooden storage sheds. A good size lawn offers a blank canvas for further landscaping.
