5 bedroom detached house for sale

Council tax band: E

Bywell is a delightful detached Grade II listed period property offering a wealth of charm and period features along with very generous accommodation over three floors, just a short walk away from the popular market town of Kington. Bywell was reputed to have been occupied by the famous poet William Wordsworth in the early 1800's, according to local historians. The property has been improved and updated by the current owner to offer comfortable period accommodation, along with good sized gardens and driveway parking. The market town of Kington has a wide range of facilities to include shops, cafes, eateries and supermarkets. It has schools, swimming pool, leisure centre and lovely countryside walks along Hergest Ridge.

The property is approached over a gravelled driveway with lawned fore gardens and flowerbeds stocked with maturing shrubs, plants and specimen trees. The entrance door has a canopy over leading into the reception hallway with stairs off to the first floor. The living room is a generous room with sash window to the front elevation with fitted shutters, wooden flooring and feature fireplace with inset wood burning stove. The dining room or second sitting room again offers space and charm in abundance with sash windows complete with fitted shutters, wooden flooring and fireplace with wood burning stove. The family breakfast kitchen has been extended by the owners to offer a lovely light space fitted with a good range of base and wall units, breakfast bar, granite worktops, Belfast sink, range cooker with hood and space for washing machine and fridge freezer.

Steps lead down from the hallway to a very useful cellar, which is divided into two large rooms, ideal for conversion or workshops/storage space, with door leading out from the cellars out to the rear of the property.

The stairs take you to the first floor landing which gives access to three bedrooms, two good sized double bedrooms with sash windows and exposed floorboards and a single room which would be ideal as a study/home office. There is also a refitted family bathroom which comprises a bath with fitted shower and screen, WC and wash hand basin with sash window to the front elevation. A further staircase takes you to the second floor landing with Velux window and doors off where the property offers two additional double bedrooms with windows to the front, ceiling beams and radiators. This floor also offers a compact bathroom with suite of bathroom, WC and wash hand basin, window to the front and chrome heated towel rail.

Outside the property has generous gardens to the front, side and rear offering seating areas, lawns with maturing shrubs and flowering plants, vegetable beds, specimen and fruit trees. In addition there is ample vehicular parking via a gravelled driveway with an old stone brewhouse to the rear, with stone walls to the front leading onto a private track.

In summary the property offers buyers the opportunity to purchase a period house with charm and character with an interesting history attached. The property offers very generously proportioned rooms and good sized grounds and gardens, and is located just a short walk from the towns facilities and the agents highly recommend early viewing to appreciate the size and setting of the property on offer.
