We have pleasure in offering to the market this fascinating individual character conversion, formerly part of the adjacent Hall but now a deceptive unique property lying in the region of 3,500sq.ft. In addition to this the property occupies a stunning plot extending to approximately 1.8 acres including a small grass paddock to the south east of the site which lies in the region of 0.57 of an acre. The gardens offer a considerable degree of privacy, with an abundance of trees and shrubs, creating an idyllic outdoor space of generous proportions. The property is approached by an initial shared sweeping driveway off Kneeton Road, tucked away in a quiet backwater shared with only one other adjacent dwelling (which is also available by separate negotiation).

Internally the property offers a great deal of versatility in layout with up to 4 bedrooms including an impressive ground floor master suite with substantial double bedroom, walk through dressing area and ensuite facilities. There are 3 further receptions to the ground floor and kitchen with utility off, all leading off an impressive central hallway with part vaulted ceiling and galleried landing above.

The property is quite unique appealing to a wide variety of prospective purchasers and although requiring a general program of modernisation has some inherent classical features.

As well as the main accommodation and gardens there is also an attached double width car port, garage and outdoor swimming pool, albeit requiring maintenance.

Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in considerable grounds right at the heart of this well regarded village.

Exterior - A particularly special feature of this property is the stunning plot which is highly unexpected for a central village location, extending to around 1.8 acres of both formal gardens, vegetable garden and small grass paddock. The property is accessed off Kneeton Road via a secluded driveway which is shared with the adjacent property, Number 10b, which is also available by separate negotiation, and sweeps up to the fore of the property where there is a substantial gravelled parking area and, in turn, access to a double width, open fronted car port and adjacent garage. To the side of the property there is a large lawned area and well stocked borders with established trees and shrubs, including mature fruit trees, that leads onto a substantial, productive vegetable garden enclosed by box hedging with timber edged borders and timber framed greenhouse. It is worth noting that this area of the garden will be subject to an uplift clause should future planning be approved. Located in this area of the garden is also a covered pool with the pool itself measuring approximately 18' x 14' with roller cover and polycarbonate canopy which provides great potential, possibly to be linked to the main house, but it is worth noting that the pool has not been in use for some years and is likely to require some level of maintenance to return to a functioning asset.

The formal gardens are particularly impressive with large sweeping lawn, attractive ornamental clay lined pond and well stocked borders with an abundant variety of trees and shrubs creating an exceptionally private outdoor space. This area in turn leads onto a small wooded copse at the foot where there is a useful brick and pan tiled outbuilding which can providing stabling, workshop or storage space and lies adjacent to a small grass paddock.
