BEST OFFERS INVITED 12NOON TUESDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2023

The Manse forms a mid-19th century two storey property with attractive bay windows to the front on both ground and first floors and occupies a prime corner plot at the bottom end of Ingatestone High Street. Set back from the High Street, it benefits from an attractive garden area to the front with mature trees and hedges surrounding. To the rear of the property is an off street car parking area and garage accessed via Norton Road.

Accommodation is arranged over ground and first floors, and to the rear is an attached outbuilding which we understand was formerly interconnecting with The Manse and separated at a later date. The ground floor provides for a spacious entrance with three well proportioned rooms, kitchen and WC. The first floor is of a similar configuration with three well proportioned bedrooms, bathroom and WC. Accessed via the rear of the property is an outbuilding known as the "Coffee Room" which provides open plan accommodation and we understand that it could potentially be reconnected to the main part of the building (STPP).
