The property

Exceptional detached C-listed Victorian villa, offering outstanding modernisation potential and charming original features, and accommodating four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a dining kitchen, and versatile attic space. The home boasts breathtaking countryside views and conveys a wonderfully rural feel, despite being just a 2-minute walk from the train station, and is accompanied by a delightful walled garden, a driveway, and a detached single garage. The villa also has access to an adjoining paddock, which may be available by separate negotiation. Storm doors open into an entrance vestibule which flows through to a hall. Flanking the hall at either side are three reception rooms: a living room with a large, west-facing bay window; a sunny, south-facing family room; and a formal dining room. All three areas enjoy a wealth of original features and the living and dining rooms feature fireplaces. Connected to the dining room via a serving hatch and accessible from a rear hall is a dining kitchen, with excellent scope for a wealth of modern cabinetry and appliances, as well as a further casual dining area. Located to the back of the property are a utility room, a WC, and useful store rooms. On the first floor, a landing leads to four exceptionally generous double bedrooms. The master would have originally been the drawing room, evident by its grand, large bay window and fireplace. All of the bedrooms enjoy fantastic flexibility for furniture and retain original features. The airy bathroom has potential for a contemporary four-piece suite. A generous attic, accessed via stairs from the landing, offers scope to be used in a variety of ways. The majority of the property is serviced by a gas central heating system and the windows to the front and side are double glazed. The villa is accompanied by a sprawling front garden, providing an excellent opportunity to be designed to the new owner's requirements, and featuring lovely mature trees and a charming walled border. Private parking is provided for several cars by a driveway and a detached single garage. Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, and light fittings to be included in the sale. The furniture can also be included, if desired.
