Description
One of the most historical homes set in the heart of Warnham village. The original part of the property we believe dates back to the early 17th Century with late Georgian and Victorian additions.
During the 19th century the home was run as a laundry for the village and in more recent times became a local shop. The property retains a wealth of charm and character with accommodation approaching nearly 3000 sq ft giving great flexibility and potential to create that forever home.
Entering via the front elevation there is a large sitting room with two bay windows and a door leading down to the useful cellar.
A door leads to a study/home office and cloakroom/utility room, in turn through to the comfy Snug with gorgeous Inglenook fireplace.
The kitchen/dining room is at the rear of the home with lovely views into the courtyard garden. The kitchen has Shaker style fitted wall and base units with island unit and a beautiful open fireplace. The kitchen enjoys great volume due to the high ceiling and at one end there is space for the dining/breakfast table. A door opens into the courtyard garden and there is scope here to consider adjustment to give a glass elevation.
Moving to the first floor there are glimpses of the history of the home with exposed feature brickwork, the landing gives access to the four main rooms with three being used as bedrooms and there is also access to the family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a games/media room and this gives access through to the library room in turn through to the rear bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
The second floor loft room offers great flexibility as either a bedroom or hobby room as it enjoys fabulous light via a velux style skylight.
Outside
The property sits just off Church Street with an area of garden at the front with boundary wall and iron railings.
A gate at the side of the property leads into the pretty rear courtyard, a private space to enjoy, walled and offering a good deal of seclusion, perfect for the al-fresco lifestyle. There is also an integrated store room with potential to turn this into a more formal reception area.
At the side of the property is an area of driveway giving the property off road parking.
In our opinion an eclectic home with huge potential to create a forever family home set in the heart of the quintessential English village.
