"This character period house sits just outside the village with fields fore and aft and discreetly behind a good hedged frontage. Extending to just under half an acre, this 4 bedroom timbered and Victorian fronted house comes with a useful outbuilding and much potential.

Prospect Place sits in grounds of approximately 0.441 Acres 0.179 Hectares being principally laid to grass. This good looking red brick house presents classic country Victorian style with well balanced sash type windows beneath a pantile roof, encasing in part the original timber frame of an earlier period. The front porch, enlarging the entrance area and enabling a staircase to rise to the first floor servces two ground floor reception rooms each linking with the sizeable kitchen and laundry room at the rear. A later but still early, side extension created a large dining room along with a corresponding bedroom above. With stairs at the front and a rear staircase also, the first floor is well connected and includes four bedrooms and bathroom including a Jack & Jill element. The owners have made great strides in getting the property market ready in recent months showing the house off nicely. There is scope for new owners to move the house on further by putting their own stamp on the interior. Currently heating is by way of an oil fired Stanley Range Cooker and new owners are quite likely to replace with a heating source of their choice. Outside, to the rear of the house sits a further area of great scope being a single storey outbuilding which whilst re roofed offers scope for conversion to workshop studio type space or, subject to Planning Permission, linking to the main house. The plot lends itself likewise for construction of a garage building which given the space on offer, could easily include, subject to Planning Permission, a double or triple type building. All in all, this is a cracking opportunity or new owners to enjoy a detached red brick house with no close neighbours and open fields bordering.
