Description

Arriving at The Coach House, there are two entrances to a private driveway that is particularly interesting due to the original cobbles which add to the attractive brick and flint façade and original front door. The spacious entrance hall welcomes you to what is a versatile home that could benefit from some cosmetic improvement. The sitting room is generous in its proportions and features an original fireplace and access to the kitchen/garden room, which spans the entire back of the house. Whilst the kitchen has storage and a gas range cooker there is an opportunity to improve the space and update the kitchen and decoration. The garage has been converted by a past owner and utilised as a professional kitchen, which could be used when considering updates in the main house kitchen. A downstairs WC and cloakroom off the hallway completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor contains four bedrooms with the principal suite being dual aspect and with views south towards Chilcomb Down. There are three further bedrooms that could benefit from personalisation yet provide comfortable bedroom accommodation. The family bathroom has a bath with a separate shower, and there are two storage cupboards off the landing that complete the first floor.

OUTSIDE
Accessed via sliding doors from the garden room, the paved terrace faces south and is an ideal area for dining al fresco. The garden represents a huge opportunity for the new owner to design and create a garden according to one's own idea, whether that be by adding trees for screening, or planting to
soften what is currently a hard paved space. There is side access to a practical storage area and the main front gates. A retaining wall has created a raised front garden which contains recently pruned trees for privacy and further opportunity to plant seasonal shrubs and plants.
