Old Corner House

GROUND FLOOR

A storm porch and a wide timber door opens to the bright and spacious entrance hall. Cloakroom, under stairs storage, stairs rise gently to the first floor, smoke alarm, antique bell, rear door to the courtyard. The main living room is quite stunning with a fine inglenook fireplace with inset gas supply, oak bresimar and a flagstone hearth (ideal for a wood burning stove). Oak flooring, 2 radiators, side window. A hinged trap door gives access to a flight of stairs down to the useful cellar, smoke alarm quality fitted storage cupboards. Fully renovated wooden shutters on either side of the handsome 4-facet mullion bay window that overlooks the church and the market place.

The kitchen provides a good range of modern white fronted base units with integrated fridge and dishwasher, integrated Neff microwave oven, work surfaces, stainless steel sink unit, cupboard housing the Santon hot water cylinder, eye-level cupboards. Vaillant gas-fired boiler, radiator, fully tiled floor, high vaulted ceiling with exposed purlins and track lighting. South facing side window and casement door to the garden. Further door leads to three connected former meeting rooms/offices that would easily convert to a central bathroom (plumbing is available) with 2 bedrooms, or a large office having direct access to the courtyard.

The first room off the kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and purlins. Radiator, south-facing window. The connected cloakroom has a low-level WC, wash-hand basin and a window. The central room was formally a bathroom. It has exposed purlins and a king-post, side window. The largest room has a high ceiling with beams, south-facing window and door giving direct access to the private courtyard and outbuilding.

FIRST FLOOR

The landing has a side window, radiator and smoke alarm. The existing server room also has concealed plumbing, so could be adapted to form a shower room or a dressing room. The two large connecting first floor rooms are currently two bright and spacious offices. It would be very straight forward to add a lobby area, giving both rooms independence and creating a shower room within the first room.

The larger office has fitted base cupboards and quality shelving, two radiators. High vaulted ceiling with exposed purlins, beams and track lighting. The two mullion windows provide the best views of the market place and Saint Peter & Paul village Church. It would be possible to construct a bath or shower room within this office/bedroom. The 2nd office/bedroom also has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed purlins, A-frame and track lights. Two radiators, two conservation rooflights, west-facing mullion window overlooking the rear courtyard.

Rear Coutyard Garden

The rear courtyard garden is almost totally paved with shingle borders and brick edging. There are French drains and two raised stone plinths for planters, four garden lights and a cold-water tap.
