4 bedroom terraced house

A striking period residence requiring modernisation and refurbishment with large mature gardens backing on to fields and tucked away from roads at the head of a long private lane.

Description

Approached via a long private drive that leads to the front of this imposing pre-Victorian building circa 1835, Calebs House forms the southern wing of this beautiful property that has subsequently been divided into four substantial residences. The house itself has parking for numerous vehicles to the front in addition to an adjacent four car garage, providing excellent storage or perhaps conversion potential if so desired. In addition to the house itself, there are extensive cellar rooms, once used for accommodation and now offering potential to extend the living accommodation of the house yet further. The property was in the same family ownership for many years and lived in until the end of 2021 and whilst perfectly habitable, it is in need of refurbishment and restoration. It is understood that works were carried out to the roof in circa 2018 but any buyer is advised to take their own independent advice regarding the condition of the building. A door to the side between the garage and house leads into a glazed canopied walkway with a further door to the rear opening on to the substantial private garden. A pair of glazed doors open to a tiled entrance vestibule which in turn leads into the wide and welcoming hallway which runs centrally through the property. Immediately off this room is a most impressive drawing room with central working fireplace and an archway leading through to a good size dining room from which a glazed door opens to the front driveway and garden. There is a most pleasant view to the front overlooking the large expanse of lawn with open fields and countryside beyond. To the opposite side of the hallway is an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with access to the beautiful rear garden and extensive rural views. To the rear of the kitchen there is a further lobby with a small lean-to conservatory, a cloakroom and small storage cupboard.

From the central hallway, a staircase rises to the generous first floor landing with three bedrooms overlooking the front grounds and the principal bedroom with a ‘hidden’ en suite bathroom enjoying a sunny western orientation. The other three bedrooms share the internal family bathroom with large walk in linen cupboard to the side. The property benefits from an oil fired central heating.

The large mature garden to the rear is a special feature of this impressive home and is predominantly a large expanse of lawn with wide well stocked shrub and flower borders. Being west facing, the gardens enjoy a good deal of afternoon sunshine and they back directly on to pasture land. A few steps from the garden provide external access to the cellar rooms. Within the rear garden is a septic tank serving Calebs House and two neighbouring properties.

Without doubt an exciting and increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a substantial listed property to restore to its former elegance and of a generous scale no longer found in homes of the modern era.
