Description
Magdalen House, originally built in 1879 as a village Reading Room, has been transformed into a charming residential property that maintains its original character, with pleasing mellow red brick elevations, under a pitched slate roof. This well-proportioned house features many period features pine framed windows, doors, exposed floorboards, and fireplaces. Particular notice is drawn to the high floor to ceiling height at ground floor and first floor level, further accentuating the feelings of space and light. In latter years the house has been significantly extended at the rear, adding valuable and versatile space such as the kitchen/breakfast room, rear hall, and study with utility area and cloakroom. This extension also allows for the possibility of using the study as an additional bedroom, complementing the three existing double bedrooms on the first floor.

Externally
The property sits tucked away behind foliage which protects it from view from the road and provides a great deal of privacy. To the left hand side of this characterful home you will find a large shingle driveway which accommodates off road parking for numerous vehicles, the driveway also leads up to the double garage and a five bar gate which gives vehicle access to the garden area and the additional single garage (located behind the double garage). The plot measures approximately 0.37 acres (STMS) and offers delightful and private gardens that allow access the whole way around the property. The garden is mainly laid to lawn but has a variety of well-established tree, shrub and plant boarders.
