Description
An Edwardian stone built three double bedroom detached property set back from the road within part walled gardens and grounds of approximately 0.44 acres. This double fronted home is enclosed at the front by drystone walling which continues to the sides. The house has 1,556 sq. ft. of accommodation and planning permission has been granted for extensions at the side of the house. (Further details relating to this can be provided upon request - currently lapsed). Both the sitting and dining rooms have feature fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is open plan and has a separate garden room on one side and a utility/boot room on the other. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite, and there is also a family bathroom.
The formal gardens and adjacent paddock are a particular feature and both the front and rear gardens have views of the Ouse Valley beyond. A driveway provides parking for up to six cars.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Garden Room The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of oak Shaker style units with complementary work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, a ceramic hob, and a dishwasher, and there is space for an American style fridge/freezer. An exposed limestone tiled floor continues into the utility/boot room. The garden room has a high vaulted ceiling, an exposed terracotta tiled floor, dual aspect windows and glazed double doors to the garden at the side.
Formal Garden and Paddocks There is gated access on both sides to the rear garden which overlooks open paddocks belonging to Odell Manor. The gardens extend on both sides and to the rear of the house and include paved seating areas and a lawn with raised stone borders and mature trees and shrubs. There is an ornamental pond, a wishing well and a timber shed. A timber five bar gate opens into the paddock which is enclosed by a combination of post and rail fencing and stone walling. There is a brick built barn.
