The house sits upon the edge of a plot measuring over three quarters of an acre with woodland, substantial outbuildings and open views at the rear of the plot. The living spaces include three reception rooms, a modern breakfast kitchen and four bedrooms plus two bathrooms with lots of original character preserved including beamed ceilings, arched doorways and detailing throughout. Offered with no upward chain - viewing strictly by appointment.

OUTSIDE
The property sits at the head of an extremely substantial plot measured to be in the region of 0.80 acres or thereabouts. Having a long hedged boundary to Prestwold Lane laid to a mixture of Beech, Holly and Yew. The driveway parking area is laid to gravelling and is accessed from the front right corner of the plot with a further driveway leading to the outbuildings at the rear and access is via a five bar gate to both. The plot includes several garden areas with a lawned space to the left hand side of the property having hedging and trees to border, beyond which is a woodland area which makes up the majority of the surrounding plot. There is a pathway with granite cobbles leading from the property and gently sloping away through the woodland to the outbuildings and further garden space beyond. Through this area a stream meanders which enters the property on the front right corner of the plot and exits to the bottom left.
The aforementioned foot of the plot (at the rear of the summerhouse) features a further garden space which is given over mainly to a grassed area with a mixture of hedging and dry stone walling and has previously been used as a vegetable plot enjoying an open field aspect to the rear.
OUTBUILDINGS
The outbuildings are substantial and include a timber summerhouse with a walled garden to surround, fishpond and a Beech hedge opens to a further plot at the rear.
There is a three bay 1.5 storey building with double doors accessing the two outer bays and a stable style split door to the centre with mezzanine storage running across the whole of the building, internal and external lighting and power. There is a parking space surrounding this outbuilding leading in from the driveway. This building offers huge scope for substantial garaging or storage and couple potentially be converted to residential space for external offices or perhaps an annex subject to consents.
SERVICES
The property has mains water and electricity but drainage is by way of a septic tank within the grounds. The property has its own gas LPG tank.
