A large late Victorian four/five bedroom detached stone house of about 2,136 internal square feet (198m2) with adjoining annexe, ideal for relatives or potential business use, a driveway, off-road parking, large garage, private gardens and a very popular heart of village location, within walking distance of the old centre at The Wells.

The annexe is a large, single storey, high ceiling, brick structure built on the West gable of the house, probably around 1920, consisting of a spacious sitting room, dining kitchen, utility, double bedroom and a shower room. It has two of its own entrances and would perfectly suit family members or perhaps meet your commercial requirements for say consultancy rooms, offices, studio, subject to obtaining planning permission.

The house is a spacious square building having a hipped roof with a covering of blue slates and benefits from gas fired central heating, PVC double glazing and offers open plan living which could be converted back into separate rooms.

With a low maintenance forecourt, there is a side driveway with stout metal gates set well back. The drive extends behind the house and gives access to a large detached garage measuring 16’ x 15’6’’, the whole property extending to 640 square yards or thereabouts.

OUTSIDE

The property is very pleasantly situated in the heart of one of the older parts of this village within a very short walk of the crossroads with Midland Road, Church Street and Station Road, at The Wells, and within walking distance there is an Aldi store, a Co-Op, a pharmacy, post office, confectioners, butchers etc, suitably catering for many of those daily requirements.

The forecourt is mostly enclosed and there is an open side tarmacadamed drive to the West gable, with a set of wrought iron gates set well back to allow a vehicle to pull free of the road. The driveway runs around the rear of the annexe and the house, where there is further parking and the drive adjoins a very pleasant block paved patio, immediately adjoining the house. Whilst the drive provides plenty of off-road parking, it also provides access to the DETACHED GARAGE 16’ X 15’6’’ of concrete sectional construction, having a metal up and over entrance door, to the side of which there is a wooden personnel door and water taps. The garage has a power supply from the house which would need an electrician to reconnect.

There are some fruit trees to the side of the rear garden steps, including plum, a flowering cherry, a greengage and a silver birch. To the rear elevation there are external lights and an outside water tap. Security light to the gable of the annexe overlooking the drive.
