Description
An attractive Grade II listed property believed to date back to the 17th Century, sympathetically refurbished and retaining many original features in the centre of the town with the benefit of a secluded south facing rear garden, garage and outbuildings.
Blue Coats has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment program to provide flexible accommodation to suit modern family needs, situated in the heart of the town and a short walk to the train station, which has a service to London in under 48 minutes.
The sitting room to the front of the property is in the oldest part of the house, it features, a high ceiling, exposed wooden beams, a pretty window seat, a brick fireplace, and log burning stove.
The inner hallway with stairs to the first floor also boasts exposed beams and would lend itself to being used as a dining room, music room, or even a library.
The kitchen/dining room has been completely transformed to provide a great space for casual dining and everyday family life.
Leading off the kitchen a former outbuilding with double doors to the garden has been converted to provide a large utility/boot room and W.C
There are three double bedrooms on the first floor and a refitted family bathroom. The second-floor loft room ( with restrictive head height ) has plenty of space for a bed, it is currently used as a study.
Outside, the property has a private gated driveway with off-road parking for several vehicles, a garage, and an open carport.
A self-contained stone-built building has been utilised by the current vendors as a guest room and would also lend itself to being used as a home office/studio or an opportunity to let.
A further outbuilding has been transformed to provide a gym, but would make for a studio or home office too.
The south-facing rear garden is very secluded, mainly laid it's perfect for relaxing and enjoying long summer evenings.
