Property description

A period four bedroom detached property on an approximately 0.2 acre plot with an enclosed driveway, a partly walled rear garden, a garage and workshop, situated in a village location.

The property was formerly a public house dating back to circa 1850, and retains period features throughout. The current owners have extended and upgraded the property which now has approximately 2,807 sq. ft. of accommodation including a sitting room and an inner hallway with stairs to the first floor and basement, and access to the office, cloakroom, utility room and family room. Also on the ground floor is an open plan kitchen/dining room and a rear lobby with access to a dual aspect ground floor bedroom which has a built-in wardrobe, an en suite shower room and French doors to the garden. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a window to the front, a feature fireplace, and an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a four piece bathroom with a WC, washbasin, a walk-in shower and a freestanding clawfoot bath.
