3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Conger Cottage is an imposing, iconic Grade II listed period home occupying a stunning position fronting on the village green and built in the 18th century, originally as two separate dwellings. It now incorporates well proportioned, flexible internal accommodation steeped in history from beautiful inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings and original quarry tiled floors. It should be noted that substantial updating/modernisation is now required throughout.

Approach is via a footpath and once inside you're immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a staircase to the far end leading to the first-floor accommodation. To the left-hand side is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 23'9ft by 15'3ft making for flexible furniture placement. An imposing inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove set within creates a real focal point to the room, whilst chunky, historic beams criss cross the ceiling and run around the door arches. Windows glance out to the front aspect, and French doors open to the rear and given the dual aspect orientation ensure that the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Running parallel to here is a more formal dining room, which comfortably allows for a table and chairs, creating the ideal family/sociable space. Moving towards the rear of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of floor, and to a lesser degree, wall mounted units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Several appliances have been integrated into the original design including a hob, double oven and dishwasher, although these will now need replacing. Stunning original quarry tiles runs through the entirety of this space as well as into the utility room which is positioned behind. This has a handful of matching units with space for additional free standing white goods such as a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads into the garden. Completing this level is a useful cloakroom nestled to one corner which comprises of a low level wc and wash hand basin.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which sits to the front elevation, whilst the second bedroom provides equally impressive proportions, extending to 13'10ft by 12'5ft. Given the interconnecting nature of the first-floor accommodation, access to the third bedroom is through the second (although, in our opinion, this could be divided to create a separate corridor/access if necessary). Bedroom three nestles towards the rear and is easily of double dimensions. They are all serviced by a bathroom which incorporates a bath, low level wc, bidet and pedestal wash hand basin.

Externally the rear is sizeable, albeit that it now clearly requires some work and improvement, however the garden area has raised brick borders to one side and the side perimeter is the original brick wall. To the bottom end is potential parking for several vehicles, accessed from Market Square. Finishing this unique opportunity is a large garage/workshop which measures 25'0ft by 19'0ft and lends itself to numerous possibilities depending on the requirements of a prospective buyer (subject to the necessary planning permissions/consents).
