Property description

A Victorian five bedroom semi-detached house with driveway parking leading to a separate double garage and with an established rear garden situated in the centre of the village of Ridgmont.

Originally the village post office, this property was built in the late 19th century, and has 2,741 sq. ft. of accommodation. Currently suited to multigenerational living, the property could be divided to provide a separate annexe. On the ground floor is an entrance hall, an over 20 ft. long sitting room and a family room, a snug and a cloakroom. There is a kitchen/dining room, a utility room and a boot room, and a further kitchen, a conservatory and a second utility room. Stairs from the hall lead to the first floor and down to the cellar, which has power and light and the original coal chute. The first floor landing accesses four of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has wardrobes, an original fireplace and an en suite bathroom. A staircase from the second kitchen leads up to bedroom two, which has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A gravelled driveway at the side of the house leads to the main door, the rear garden and the garage.

Ground Floor

The family room has windows to the front with café style shutters, built-in storage cupboards and a Victorian fireplace. The dual aspect sitting room has a door to the garden and an open fireplace with built-in alcove storage. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with wall and base units, oak worksurfaces and a sink with a mixer tap. Included are a range style cooker with a hood, an integrated full-sized fridge, and a dishwasher. The dining area has quarry tile flooring and exposed beams. The other kitchen has wall and base units, worksurfaces and a sink with a mixer tap. Included are a built-in double oven and dishwasher, and an island with an induction hob, extractor fan and storage.

Outside

To one side, a shingled drive with ample off street parking accesses the double garage and leads to the rear garden which is laid mainly to lawn with beds and borders planted with mature trees and shrubs. There is a paved patio adjacent to the rear of the house, accessed directly from the French door in the conservatory and doors in the boot room and sitting room. Further paved areas provide space for seating. The garden also has a garden shed.
