8 bedroom detached house for sale

AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A DEVELOPMENT/RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY ON THE EDGE OF THIS DESIRABLE VILLAGE

The launch of the Red House and Bull Cottage to the market offers purchasers the rare opportunity to acquire an imposing property on the edge of the village in need of full renovation and modernisation.

Equally, given its condition and the presence of former traditional brick outbuildings within the courtyard, there is also potential to look at the site as a residential development opportunity and a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all on offer.

RED HOUSE

The generous and well-proportioned accommodation lies over three floors with the ground floor providing two, bay fronted reception rooms lying either side of the reception hall with the sitting room linking through to the conservatory and internal door into Bull Cottage. The conservatory to the rear links through to the kitchen which in turn has access directly into the adjoining carport which lends itself for being incorporated into the house to provide open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. Stairs lead down to two barrel vaulted cellars.

On the first floor is the master bedroom suite along with two bedrooms and a bathroom and on the second floor there are three further bedrooms, one being a guest suite with a further family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have mezzanine areas above.

BULL COTTAGE

The cottage enjoys its own private access off the drive and attached to the Red House with sitting room and kitchen/dining room on the ground floor with a double and single bedroom on the first floor served by family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a Tarmac drive with courtyard providing generous off road parking along with access to the double carport and former workshop. Lying across the courtyard is the former stable block constructed of brick under a part tiled roof with the main section of roof now dilapidated. In its day it would have provided stabling for four along with a separate tack room/feed store. The building clearly has potential to be utilised for a variety of use, subject to planning.

To the rear of the stable block lies the main garden which enjoys views over open countryside. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees gracing the boundaries and offers a blank canvas.
