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.
