Description
Set in grounds of just over a third of an acre, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a detached home in the sought-after hamlet of Middle Assendon.
The current owner has invested in the first stages of renovating, with a new central heating system that includes; A Worcester Bosh Combination Boiler, radiators to all the rooms, re-wiring and a new fuse board. The house now offers an exciting opportunity to take it to it's natural next phase of enlargement, in particular the outbuilding / old garage lends itself to having the potential for a separate granny annex / home office, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions / consents.
A covered front porch opens into the entrance hall, providing access to the family room, sitting room, and stairs to the first floor. Both the sitting and dining rooms enjoy a view over the front and have open fireplaces.
Accessed off the sitting room and across the rear of the property is the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has been recently installed and features an integral dishwasher, oven, microwave and induction hob. There is storage under the stairs and a separate utility room, with plumbing for washing machine and vented tumble dryer. There is also a back door with access to the rear patio and garden from the kitchen.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, two doubles and two singles, as well as a newly created bathroom with high quality Roca sanitary wear and thermostatically controlled Aqualisa Digital Shower with push-button one-start LED control. There are fantastic views to the front and rear, with double glazing throughout.
Outside, the property is set back and enjoys large renovated gardens to the front and rear. The plot extends to about 0.36 of an acre and is approached via a shared driveway. There is a private drive to the front that extends to the side of the house and leads to a large double-length garage, with an attached lean-to and wood shed.
The rear garden is not overlooked and enclosed by established borders and fencing. It is laid to lawn and features a pruned apple orchard towards the rear.
