Property Description
On the instructions of the Executor.
The Old Manor is a beautiful Grade II listed semi-detached home with abundant character, extending to approx. 2,950 sq. ft. The house requires refurbishment and provides an excellent opportunity for purchasers to make this home their own. There is a small cottage adjoining the rear of the property which is not included in the sale.
The front door opens into a substantial hallway leading to the main reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room and pantry. The drawing room has an impressive inglenook fireplace, stone flooring, exposed timber beams and leaded windows. The sitting room, which could also be used as a dining room, has a further inglenook fireplace, wooden flooring and exposed wall and ceiling timbers. There is also a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room with brick flooring, a pantry that could be used as a utility/laundry, and a cloakroom. The brick vaulted two-chamber cellar is of a good size and has great potential.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having a dressing room.
On the second floor, there is a further bedroom / drawing room.
Bedrooms two and five (as per the plan) are accessed via a separate staircase.
Outside, the property is approached via a gated track/driveway, which provides access to the property via a shared right of way and to the detached workshop/garage. There are gardens to the side with wonderful views.
