4 bedroom detached house

The Chestnuts is an attractive 19th century stone character farmhouse with a range of outbuildings, positioned on a generous plot of approximately 2 acres.

The property offers accommodation comprising an entrance porch into a spacious hallway, cloakroom, bay-fronted sitting room with open fire, study, dining room and breakfast kitchen with AGA and separate utility room giving integral access into the annexe. The annexe offers an open-plan living/bedroom space with kitchen/conservatory and bathroom off. The first floor of the house offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The outbuildings have been sympathetically repurposed from the original agricultural use by the current owners over the last 35 years. They now offer a games room, workshops, general storage and double garaging. These spaces could lend themselves to multiple uses including home office, air b&b accommodation or conversion to stabling to compliment the adjoining paddock. 

Externally, the property offers a spacious driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as the detached garaging. The rear garden has been well-maintained with a large area of lawn, well-stocked flower beds and greenhouse to the rear. A tree-lined lawned driveway leads to the paddock, which is currently used by a neighbour for grazing, and the owners have a horticultural barn. 

The property is fitted with solar panels fully owned, making the running costs significantly lower than usually found with a property of this age and size. 

AGENTS NOTE: If a purchaser was interested in just the property without the paddock, this could be negotiated.
