Description

*ANOTHER PROPERTY SOLD BY PUTTERILLS* A rare opportunity to purchase this CHAIN FREE individual detached family home occupying a substantial part-walled plot of 0.185 of an acre whilst tucked away in the corner of this popular Old Town turning, within walking distance of the historic High Street and mainline railway station beyond. Sitting back from the road behind an attractive deep walled front garden with further mature grounds extending to both the side and rear of the property whilst offering tremendous scope to extend or build within the grounds (subject to planning). A double width block paved driveway extends to the side of the property leading to a detached single garage with a greenhouse, potting shed and garden store beyond. The main area of garden lies to the immediate rear of the house with a substantial lawn and well stocked borders with a number of specimen trees. This well cared for home provides a comfortable arrangement of accommodation including a double glazed entrance vestibule providing an ideal vantage point with views over the front garden. The original reception hall and dining room have been combined to create an open-plan feel to the ground floor whilst providing ample space for a family sized table. A triple aspect lounge, refitted downstairs cloakroom/wc, fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a side extension providing a generous store room and utility area completes the ground floor. The first floor landing provides access to three double bedrooms with the master bedroom also featuring a triple aspect and comprehensive built-in furniture whilst the original bathroom has been converted to a modern shower room. Further practical benefits include double glazing and gas fired central heating. The extensive gardens are a particular feature and in our professional opinion provides scope to extend the existing home into a larger family property (if so required) whilst providing additional scope for the building of an Annexe/ancillary accommodation or a separate dwelling (subject to planning). In full, the accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, reception hallway/dining room, lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs cloakroom/wc, utility area, store room, first floor landing leading to three double bedrooms and a family shower room. Viewing highly recommended.
