Brief description

The Old Court House is a fine example of a Victorian property, dating back to the 1840's and was originally the village police station and courtroom. Now this extended detached home offers spacious and light, oil fired centrally heated accommodation set over two floors. The original solid wood front door opens to an enclosed porch before leading through to a large reception/dining hallway with window to the front elevation. A door then leads through to the family living room, with windows to three elevations and featuring a wood burning stove forming a lovely central focus set on a raised hearth with mantel above. A further door from the dining hall leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room which offers a range of solid wood fronted base units with work surfaces over, inset sink and tiled splash backs. Appliances include an electric hob, and separate oven and grill, integrated dishwasher and further space for appliances. There is ample space for dining table, tiled flooring, additional cupboard storage and separate utility/pantry cupboard with space and plumbing for washing machine and a solid wood door opening to the side courtyard area from the kitchen. Also on the ground floor is a shower/cloakroom with flagstone flooring, corner shower cubical, low flush w/c, hand wash basin, useful storage cupboard and door out to the rear courtyard.
From the dining hall a staircase leads up to the first floor landing with doors off to all rooms including an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and wood slatted shelving. The principal bedroom is a lovely spacious double with the benefit of a generous modern en-suite to include panelled bath with shower over, low flush w/c, hand wash basin and wood panelling to half height. There are two further bedrooms off the landing.
Annex

Formally the courtroom, the annex is completely self contained and offers a great opportunity for multi-family living or letting/airbnb to generate additional income. The property benefits from its own front door which opens to a large reception hallway with steps up to a further door which leads through to the main open plan, split level living and dining area, with large sash windows making the room lovely and light with a back door leading out to the rear courtyard. Leading of the living area is a kitchen to the rear with high vaulted ceiling with a range of matching units, ample work surfaces, inset sink, electric hob and separate oven and grill with further space for appliances including plumbing for washing machine. Also on the ground floor is a shower room and separate cloakroom/wc.
A staircase from the kitchen then leads up to the first floor galleried landing with doors off to two bedrooms both benefiting from Velux style roof windows.
Outside

Located just off the centre of the village, the property sits in approximately a third of an acre, with a gated driveway to the side providing ample parking. From the driveway steps lead up to the large elevated gardens to the rear of the house which benefit from lovely views over the village towards the countryside beyond. The gardens are laid to lawn in an apple orchard with additional pear and plum trees. There are also raised vegetable beds and a pleasant seating areas. There would be ample space for a summer house or home office/studio at the back of the garden, to take in the lovely outlook, subject to the appropriate planning permissions. To the side of the driveway is a greenhouse and the oil tank before steps lead down to a pleasant and private courtyard to the back of the house providing a lovely sheltered seating area before leading round to the back doors to both the main house and annex.
