Ideally positioned directly in the centre of this popular village with all nearby amenities immediately on hand, this beautifully presented and extended two double bedroom link detached property stands in a convenient and generously proportioned level plot of land including attractive gardens, a detached double garage, two timber stables and a large gated driveway providing extensive parking for numerous vehicles.
Perhaps offering potential for further extension or development, arguably having sufficient space to construct another small bungalow style dwelling in the grounds subject to necessary approval, properties of this type rarely become available within the local market and an early viewing is therefore strongly recommended indeed.
Irrespective of any potential further development, this very appealing property currently represents an exciting opportunity for those searching for a modestly proportioned two bedroom link detached home with extensive parking, garaging and garden space within this extremely convenient residential location and internally offers a surprising degree of charm and character with the accommodation comprising very briefly: an entrance hall, a living room with open fire, a superb dining room extension (potential for ground floor guest bedroom if required), a modern fitted dining kitchen with integrated appliances, a stylish ground floor shower/wet room with adjoining store/utility room, a first floor landing, a spacious master bedroom with excellent range of fitted wardrobes, a further double bedroom and a bathroom with three piece suite.
Externally the property benefits from a delightful covered sitting area adjoining the kitchen, providing excellent sheltered outdoor dining space whilst enjoying pleasant views over the colourful and well stocked garden towards the stables. The stables would suit a variety of uses, certainly offering excellent supplementary outdoor storage space in addition to the detached double garage with light and power.
Constructed in the 1930's and having been sympathetically extended in more recent years, the property is almost entirely detached save from a link to the former grocers shop at the front (now a clothing agency). Planning permission has previously been declined to construct a pair of two storey dwellings in the grounds however, it has been suggested that an alternative scheme incorporating a single bungalow style dwelling could be more acceptable, however the property is sold without any consent whatsoever and any alternative proposed planning application would be entirely at the buyers own risk and expense.
