Whether you envision a stunning renovation project or seek the possibility of redevelopment (subject to planning permission), this chain-free property is brimming with possibilities.
From the moment you approach, St Francis captivates with its idyllic setting. A gated driveway leads to a garage, while the expansive wrap-around gardens with the majority at a westerly facing aspect, provide a sense of seclusion boasting panoramic views over open fields as far as the eye can see. The surrounding farming landscape creates an ever-changing backdrop perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of the countryside.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a spacious and versatile home with an inviting layout. From the porch entrance, the generous reception hall provides an excellent introduction to the property, leading seamlessly to the living quarters on the right and sleeping accommodation on the left and first floor.
The living room measures 13ft and features dual aspect windows, the window to the front aspect frames the spectacular extensive garden and the exposed brick open fireplace stands as a charming focal point, creating a warm and cozy ambiance. The kitchen-diner echoes dual aspect windows, a walk in utility cupboard keeps the kitchen clutter free, a farmhouse-style stone flooring is underfoot, and ample room for a large dining table makes for the ideal setting to cook and prepare whilst socializing with friends effortlessly and simultaneously.
The ground floor further boasts two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from extensive fitted storage. A conveniently located shower room enhances accessibility and practicality, whilst a ‘lean-to’ sunroom adds another delightful area to enjoy the views completes the ground floor.
Ascending to the first floor, the central sizable landing is bathed in natural light, making it an ideal space for a home office with inspiring open-field views. Two further generous double bedrooms, complete with useful eaves storage, provide comfortable and flexible accommodation.
