A most impressive semi-detached residence set back off the road with much more to offer than first meets the eye. The title deeds show that the property dates back to the Victorian period (possibly a little earlier) when it formed part of a larger farmstead. It now provides a very comfortable home which is well maintained and nicely presented throughout. The accommodation briefly comprises hall, sitting room, living room, breakfast kitchen, garden room, 3 good sized bedrooms with fitted furniture, shower room, and spiral staircase up to a large attic room with fitted bathroom suite in one corner. Externally, it has a detached double garage, ample off-road parking/turning area, garden store, log stores, and a huge rear garden with 2 further sheds. It is within walking distance of the village centre where you’ll find a good range of shops and amenities. There is good access up to junctions 23 and 24 of the M62 for those who commute on a regular basis. It is also worth noting that this is for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
