It has the benefit of oil fired central heating with beautiful old style radiators. With a whopping 438m of living space it has the potential to be split into two independent residences, accommodate a large family, have a separate ground floor guest annexe or even be run as a bed and breakfast business or some form of rural retreat for hikers, bird watchers, artists etc. Access to the house is via traditional double, wooden doors into a huge, bright and sunny lounge with picture windows and with a traditional wood burning fireplace and ornate alcove shelving. Off the lounge is a beautiful family bathroom with sunken bath and a walk in shower. Off to the left as you enter the front door double doors lead to a section of the house which could be utilised as a separate guest annexe. It currently has 3 rooms which could be utilised as a lounge, bedroom and a bathroom or could be incorporated into the rest of the house as a further downstairs bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and an en suite. At the opposite end of the lounge is a large downstairs double bedroom. Again off the lounge double traditional style doors lead to a snug/bar area with the original fireplace and a staircases leading to the first floor. The snug leads through to a utility room and from there an arch to a large fully fitted kitchen diner with a range of oak units, marble worktops and a free-standing gas range cooker. A door from one side of the kitchen leads out to the garden and car parking area and to the other a stable door with glazed door out to a private courtyard. This area is perfect for alfresco dining and could easily house a Jacuzzi or cleverly constructed above ground swimming pool surrounded by wooden decking. Off the courtyard is a large workshop and store room to one side and to the other a stable door leads to a covered terrace which overlooks a market garden area. There is a fenced chicken run and duck pond and beyond a driveway leading to a garage. The plot is 1147m and has a very productive established orchard with pomegranate, fig, lemon and lime trees, orange, satsuma, plum and more. On the first floor a landing area with feature porthole window leads to a study/bedroom with access to a sun terrace. There is a beautiful walk-in shower room, a huge master bedroom with fantastic views and an adjoining storage room which could easily be converted to a dressing room and en suite. Finally on this floor is a huge light and airy room which is currently being used as an art studio but could be utilised as an upstairs lounge or additional bedrooms. This has access to a further private terrace. The property has a 30.000 litre water tank with water rights. This is more than sufficient to supply the property although mains water could be connected if required. A grey water system is used for additional irrigation. Mains electricity is connected. This is a huge property at a fantastic price and is highly recommended to add to your viewing list if you are looking for traditional character and style.
