2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Description

12 Rode Common offers a huge amount of scope and potential to create a super family home set in a plot of approximately 0.4 acres of gardens and grounds.

The property requires a scheme of renovation and improvement throughout but has retained some charming period features including open fireplaces, flagstone flooring and exposed beams.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with doors leading to the three reception rooms with the kitchen accessed from the dining room. An inner hallway, with a conservatory entrance from the rear, links the older part of the cottage to a more modern extension which provides a room that could be used as a kitchen, a shower room and a large open sitting room with a mezzanine area above. This part of the property could be used as a self contained annex, air b and b or as part of the main accommodation.

On the first floor there is a pleasant open landing with doors leading to the two double bedrooms and bathroom.

Outside

The gardens lie to the front, side and rear with the front garden planted mainly with trees and mature shrubs which provide a high degree of privacy and shelter. The rear garden is laid to lawn and also has a number of mature trees and shrubs. To one side is an area that was previously cultivated as a vegetable garden, but now needs some attention. There is a former bothy at the far end of the garden and a greenhouse.

To the side of the house is a gravelled driveway and parking area with space for several vehicles and a useful detached garage with a workshop to the rear.

Completion

Completion has been set for Thursday 28th March 2024 or earlier by arrangement.
