Zoning: The Zoning is RU – To protect & improve rural amenity. Description: The property comprises an impressive period residence together with a substantial range of outbuildings, all set on approximately 3.5 acres of mature grounds. The holding is particularly interesting due to the variety of accommodation on offer, including the main residence, former tea rooms and shop, substantial workshop building and a detached log cabin residence. Main Residence The main house is an impressive period home arranged over three floors and retaining much of its original character and charm. While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation and upgrading, it has excellent underlying potential, generous proportions and a wealth of original features which provide an excellent basis from which to create a truly special family home. Upon entering the property, one is greeted by a charming entrance hall which immediately gives a sense of the character of the house. The residence has an unusual long, single-depth layout, with the principal reception rooms positioned to either side of the entrance hall. To the right is a cosy snug / sitting room centred around a substantial fireplace, while to the left is a further impressive living room featuring an exceptionally large original fireplace. This fireplace backs onto the stove within the adjoining kitchen, creating an interesting connection between the two principal living spaces. The kitchen itself is a warm and characterful room and forms one of the most distinctive parts of the house. Overlooking the kitchen is an upper-level library with an open void between the two floors, creating a dramatic double-height element and giving the space a particularly unique character. Adjoining this area is a further impressive double-height space, currently referred to as "The Apartment", which provides considerable additional accommodation and offers excellent flexibility depending on a purchaser's requirements. The upper floors provide the property's bedroom accommodation, with four bedrooms together with four bathrooms, in addition to the library and ancillary accommodation. Throughout the house there are numerous reminders of its period origins, with original features, substantial fireplaces, generous ceiling heights and an interesting internal layout. The property now presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to sensitively modernise the residence while retaining the features which give the house its distinctive character. Former Tea Rooms & Shop Outside, one of the most attractive features of the property is the former tea rooms and shop, a superb period building with considerable character and potential. The former shop occupies the roadside portion of the building and features a particularly attractive traditional stone frontage, giving it a strong presence and considerable charm. To the rear are the former tea rooms, comprising a substantial open-plan space together with WC facilities. The scale of the accommodation is impressive and provides considerable flexibility for future use. Upstairs is a further large open-plan area, adding significantly to the overall accommodation and potential of the building. Subject to any necessary planning or regulatory consents, the property could lend itself to a variety of commercial, recreational, studio or ancillary uses. Workshop A further key feature of the property is the substantial detached workshop, which extends to approximately 242 sq.m. / 2,604 sq.ft. The building benefits from large double access doors together with an existing power supply and provides excellent practical accommodation. Its scale and accessibility make it suitable for a wide variety of uses including owner-occupier workspace, storage, vehicle accommodation, hobby use or other ancillary purposes. Adjoining the workshop is a former toilet block which is currently no longer in use but provides additional accommodation and may offer further potential. Log Cabin Positioned separately within the grounds is a high-quality detached log cabin residence, which has been in situ for approximately 20 years. The cabin provides bright and functional accommodation comprising an open-plan kitchen / living / dining area, bathroom and sleeping accommodation. It enjoys an attractive setting within the property, overlooking the surrounding grounds and extensive lawned areas with mature planting providing an established and private feel. Grounds In total, the property stands on approximately 3.5 acres, providing a particularly attractive setting for the various buildings.
