Description
Formerly known as Bengrove Lodge, Leighbridge was used by the late owner for dog breeding and grooming with many of the dog kennels and outbuildings still in situ. A double glazed door located to the rear of the property leads into the entrance hall which extends to the sitting room. To the right is a 2nd reception room or additional double bedroom. Across the hall is the wet room with shower, low level wc and wash hand basin. The sitting room has two ornamental fireplaces, beams to ceiling, mirror backed display cabinets to either side of one of the fireplaces, staircase rising to the first floor and door to kitchen/breakfast room. Enjoying views of adjoining farmland and the dog grooming area and the garden beyond, this room is fitted with a range of modern units incorporating single drainer sink unit, ceramic hob, cooker hood, work surfaces and breakfast bar. There is space for a washing machine and the walls are part painted panelling. On the first floor there is a double bedroom with built in cupboard and views from the front over the farmland. The landing is open with the next bedroom and this space could be used as a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and dressing room / nursery. Alternatively a stud wall could be erected which will convert the first floor accommodation into 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
