Enjoy the best of both worlds with this quirky period residence and integral shop—a perfect setup for those looking to run a business right from the comfort of home. For those looking to add to the already expansive accommodation, there is potential to integrate the shop into additional accommodation.
While celebrating its heritage through an array of original features, this home has been thoughtfully updated with contemporary fittings for modern living.
The living quarters are accessed via a rear entrance hall, brimming with character, defined by an impressive exposed brick feature wall and its original built-in bread oven. The kitchen/breakfast room features stylish slate grey shaker cabinets, to include a five-ring gas range cooker. The breakfast area benefits from patio doors opening onto a sheltered courtyard. A separate utility room and toilet is also located off the hall.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen opens onto a spacious lounge/diner, where the rich texture of Indian sandstone slabs creates a seamless transition between the living and dining zones, with an exposed brick chimney housing a log burner. Four double bedrooms and a separate study are located on the first floor, the master benefitting from a walk-in dressing room, leading to an ensuite shower room. Both bedrooms to the front have access to a separate study, which could be used as a nursery room or dressing room. There are two loft rooms on the 2nd floor, one currently used as a bedroom, with access to a spacious ensuite, the other loft room being used as a dressing room.
The large shop front can be accessed from The Street and currently from the lounge. The shop could easily be securely separated from the main house, keeping the two totally separate. The shop benefits from three spacious treatment rooms, a separate kitchen and toilet.
The outside space features a good size wooden cabin, with electrics and opening onto a secluded patio area, perfect for outside dining and entertaining. There is the possibility of purchasing (by separate negotiation) the workshop/ double garage to the right, that will overwise be excluded from the sale-this would include the parking area to the front of the garage.
