Description
Whiffins is a striking Grade II listed character property, believed to originate from the 16th century with later additions, centrally located in this popular village. The property is being offered with no onward chain and was also the site of a mechanics garage business with multiple detached garages, storerooms and workshops, creating an ideal opportunity for redevelopment, subject to the necessary building consents. The light, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation combines character features with modern embellishments, with salient points including a modern kitchen, well-appointed bathroom suites, multi-pane windows, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, wooden floors, feature fireplaces, exposed brick walls, thumb latch doors and some vaulted ceilings. Also of note are the established gardens which enjoy a delightful south-easterly aspect, together with ample driveway parking and a detached double garage, with a storeroom above. In total the plot amounts to about 0.8 of an acre.
The impressive double aspect sitting room provides a superb reception space and features a charming inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove.
The family room has a wood burning stove, a set of doors to a paved terrace and incorporates a small kitchenette.
Adjoining the family room, a substantial orangery provides access to and lovely views over the rear garden.
The bright kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views over the rear garden and is well-equipped with a comprehensive range of wall and base units and integral appliances. An adjoining utility room provides further storage, a sink and space for appliances.
A guest bedroom with a striking inglenook fireplace, served by an en suite shower room and a separate cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Arranged over the first floor are four bedrooms, three with built-in storage and one served by an en suite bathroom with twin basins and a separate shower.
A generous hobbies/reading room with eaves storage and a further bathroom complete the accommodation.
Whiffins is set back from the road and approached via a carriage driveway, which leads onto the detached double garage with storage above.
The immaculate front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with well stocked borders and a wide variety of deciduous and evergreen trees, providing year-round colour and a high degree of privacy. A paved terrace enjoys a south-easterly aspect and provides an ideal area for al fresco entertaining, and within the garden there are two summerhouses.
To the rear of the plot are a collection of garages, workshops, storerooms, an office and a kitchenette, amounting to over 5,000 sq ft.
The plot amount to about 0.8 of an acre.
