About this property Laurel House is a charming detached Victorian house of stone construction under a tile roof. The house offers a number of period features including open fireplaces, dado rail, gothic arched windows and doors.
The house has been in the same ownership for over 25 years and whilst offered in good order, is in need of some modernisation.
Due to its architectural origins, the house offers generous ceiling heights, plenty of natural light, all combining to create a lovely sense of space. Natural light spills into the generous drawing room which enjoy views over the rear garden. There is a useful study for working from home and a kitchen/breakfast room also looking out onto the rear garden.
Given the plot size, there is scope to extend to the rear off the kitchen/breakfast room, subject to the relevant consents.
Outside the house enjoys extensive, level gardens with lawn areas, mature borders and beds interspersed with a variety of fruit trees. To one side are fruit cages and greenhouse. Closer to the house is a lovely summerhouse with light and power connected.
There are a number of traditional stone outbuildings including garage, workshop, stores and stable. Whilst ideal for storage, here there is scope to improve/ convert to create additional accommodation to the main house, office, studio or income stream, all subject to the relevant consents.
The house is approached by an 'in and out' drive leading to an area of parking to the rear.
This property offers a real sense of space, delightful gardens, useful outbuildings and an opportunity to really put your own mark on the house, extend or improve to suit modern needs. It's accessibility to the popular local towns, the M40 and train links further enhance its appeal.
