Description - Willow Dene is a charming Grade II listed home, offering over 1,000sqft of accommodation with three bedrooms. Having most recently served as an investment property, it now presents a wonderful opportunity for a purchaser to refurbish the house to their own taste and enjoy an idyllic village setting, further complemented by a delightful cottage-style garden.
Accommodation - The ground floor features a welcoming entrance that leads into a central dining room, which acts as the heart of the home. Adjoining this is a bright, dual-aspect sitting room that provides a comfortable space for relaxation. The kitchen is tucked neatly to the rear, overlooking the property's surroundings. Uniquely, the ground floor also includes a dedicated office space located off the hallway, making it an excellent choice for those who work from home.
On the first floor, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, while the third is centrally located. A family bathroom, complete with a bath and integrated shower facilities, serves the upper level. The property's orientation and window placement ensure that natural light is maximized throughout both floors.
Outside - To the rear of the property is a pretty cottage style garden; currently laid predominantly to lawn this walled garden offers opportunity for bordering bedding plants and shrubs. There is also access to an outside 'gardeners loo' which could pose opportunity for outside storage.
Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage. Electric storage heaters provide heating plus an emersion tank for hot water. Ofcom advises that ultrafast broadband and mobile coverage via the major providers is available to the property
