Property Description
About waterside house This unique detached residence is believed to date back to the late 17th century when it was constructed as a pair of cottages, following this a double fronted 2 storey section was added to the rear in Victorian times. The cottages were finally combined and converted into one by our clients during the 1980s when a comprehensive scheme of modernisation was carried out.
Many original and period features are on display in the older section of the property most notably the stone fireplaces, mullioned windows, exposed beams and roof trusses. It does benefit from modern fittings to the kitchen and has been well maintained but we fully expect that the next owner will look to make their own mark on the property and redesign it to their own tastes (subject to the necessary consents being obtained).
The ground floor accommodation features front and side entrance halls, 4 reception rooms, kitchen and a downstairs WC. Upstairs there are 2 formal double bedrooms and two further rooms which are currently used as studio and additional living spaces which offer obvious potential to become bedrooms. There is also a utility room and bathroom.
The property is situated up an unadopted lane from Dobb Lane with 2 further properties also having the right to access along this lane. Externally there are gardens predominantly to the side and rear of the house. Located below the house there is a stone built mistal, most recently used for housing cattle but having potential for other uses (again subject to the necessary consents).
The property comes complete with 3 paddocks of grazing land to the side and rear which we understand amount to approximately 7.1 acres.
