Full Description
Signature Sales & Lettings is delighted to present this beautiful family home. Full of original features, this characterful property is a seamless blend of the traditional and contemporary.
There are two parts to this house - the old and the new. Originally renovated in 2001, and modernised between 2011 - 2019, the current owners bought the house as a four bedroomed family home and have raised a family over the past decade. The property was updated throughout with a new kitchen, modern wet room/bathroom, new ensuite, extra storage and loft conversion. Today, the main house is a spacious six bedroomed living accommodation, ideal for families and professionals.
In 2019, the owners built a stunning two-bedroom extension with open, spacious living areas and a beautiful feature balcony. This annexe is fully self-contained with regular bookings on Airbnb, attracting corporate guests and tourists from around the country. This highly versatile property offers the opportunity to continue with the income-generating Airbnb business or the annexe can be used by family, friends, teenagers and multigenerational families.
The two houses (annexe and main house) are connected by a doorway in the main hallway; once the door is locked, the annexe is self-contained.
Hallway
A large, welcoming entrance hallway leading to
Lounge / Dining Area
This large yet cosy and inviting room has plenty of space for seating. During the day, large windows flood the room with light, highlighting the wooden beams, solid stone fireplace with turret design, and mahogany woodwork. The room's characterful beauty blends seamlessly with the contemporary, boutique d?cor scheme. By night, draw the curtains and blinds to enjoy some relaxing quality downtime with family. This room is ideal for entertaining with an open plan layout and plenty of space for a table and chairs within the dining area.
Snug / Cinema Room
Adjacent to the dining area and accessed through double doors is the flexible, cosy second sitting room or snug with wood burner. Complete with a projector and pull-down screen, this space is currently used as a cinema room. Picture cold winter nights in front of crackling flames, snuggled up on a comfy sofa, while watching your favourite film or Netflix box set.
Kitchen.
Fully remodelled, the kitchen provides plenty of workspace and storage. Maximising kitchen design principles, every touch point works for the home cook. Two ovens and an extractor hood, with a laminate floor. Large food pantry and large Coalbrookdale fire surround for a redundant fireplace (chimney space can be reopened).
First Floor Landing
