" Being positioned just opposite the Ramsden Parish fields, just a short walk from the village centre, there are very few centrally positioned properties within this village that will occupy a plot anywhere close to the 3 acres this substantial home commands.

The accommodation available within the house already measures nearly 3000 ft.? but in addition and just at the end of the driveway that extends to the side of the property, you also have a brick-built annexe. This versatile building is another big space measuring 637sqft, so it not only gives you the opportunity to continue using it as a games room but, if preferred as detached annexe accommodation for a family member.

Each room in this house is positioned around the large central hall with is overlooking galleried landing, which at the same time as giving grand entrance, it helps to ensure a most spacious feel is conveyed throughout the home.

In addition to the generous five bedrooms, the en-suite shower room and a refitted four-piece bathroom suite, the sizeable ground floor is arranged in such a way so as to provide a blend of both open plan living with bi-folding doors being ideal for entertaining but also a separate sitting room for that more cosier intimate feel.

As mentioned, the property occupies a substantial plot that approaches 3 acres, this has immediate formal lawns and then another rear section, beyond the natural pond, hot tub and games room, that offers flexibility in its use. In the past this area with the help of the 2 stables, was firstly fenced in and used as a paddock before family demands meant it later became a football pitch.

The detached outbuilding with its own kitchen and shower room is currently used as a games room, with two sets of sliding doors opening onto the garden, these can be opened up to help those garden parties go with a swing. This building has also been designed in such a way to be easily divided to provide a separate bedroom and living room area with.

It`s also worth knowing that planning permission has also been granted for both further enlargement and a remodelling of the external elevations. Photos of the proposed adaptions are within our main photo presentation.

Interested parties are also advised that this property is being sold with no onward chain being involved.
