OPEN EVENT SUNDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER, 12PM-2PM

**NO CHAIN DELAY** Delightful three bedroom character stone cottage with attached one bedroomed newly converted annex providing superb additional accommodation and offering options for potential letting income. The property also includes a substantial outbuilding/workshop, gardens to the front and rear and private driveway.The property is fantastically situated in the rural village of Stonefold, providing for peaceful surroundings, yet having great accessibility onto the A56, M66 and M65 road networks.

The outbuilding has previously benefitted from Planning Consent for conversion into two separate one bedroom dwellings, however this Planning Consent has now expired. The size of the plot and outbuilding included on site provide tremendous scope for the creation of an additional dwelling or the extension of the existing property, subject to a purchaser’s own requirements and subject to gaining the necessary Planning Consent s involved.

The house provides for a spacious family home which is full of character, including exposed timber beams and stonework.

The main front door opens into a front porch/boot room, which in turn leads into the main lounge benefitting from a window overlooking the front, affording plenty of natural light. The lounge includes exposed timber beams, timber boarded flooring and a large central stone fireplace enclosing a log burning stove with stone surround and lintel, providing a real sense of warmth to the room.

A door leads to a rear hallway, which in turn includes a rear external door to the garden, door leading to the kitchen/dining room and staircase leading to the first floor.

The kitchen benefits from dual aspect windows overlooking both the front and rear garden areas and includes exposed timber beams and timber flooring.

The farmhouse style kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted kitchen units, with timber worktops, white tiled splashbacks and a central island with breakfast bar area. The units include an integrated Belfast sink, with space for washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and gas range cooker, providing for a modern and contemporary kitchen with a rural and rustic feel.

To the first floor is a central corridor providing access to three spacious bedrooms all benefitting from windows overlooking the front. The family bathroom benefits from a window to the rear and includes a wash hand basin, bath, wc and shower cubicle.

The kitchen units include space for a washing machine, with the kitchen and dining area benefitting from tiling throughout.

Folding doors lead from the kitchen to the lounge, providing for a cosy room with further windows overlooking the front and a front door leading onto the front walled garden area.

The staircase leads from the dining kitchen to the first floor, which provides for a spacious double bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom including an integrated wash hand basin with storage drawers/cupboard, wc and shower cubicle. The annex has previously been used by the current Vendor as an Airbnb/rental unit, generating additional income, whilst the annex forms superb accommodation for additional family or the extension of the existing residential property.

To the front of the property is a stone walled garden, providing for flagged patio seating areas and raised garden beds. To the rear is a good sized rear garden with flagged patio seating areas being ideal for outdoor dining, with a separate driveway providing ample parking for a number of vehicles.

The outbuilding is constructed of concrete block under a pitched sheet roof and has previously benefitted from Planning Consent for conversion into two one bedroom dwellings, however this Planning Consent has now lapsed. This building was formally an agricultural dairy building, however offers huge scope for the Purchasers to utilise the space for their own requirements, including potential gym, storage or additional residential space. The property also offers huge scope for gaining planning consent for an additional residential unit or allowing for the extension of the existing residential property, subject to purchaser’s own requirements.

Properties of this nature are not regularly offered to the Market and this is a rare opportunity to obtain a character stone dwelling with additional annex accommodation and outbuilding space, which offers huge scope to a variety of purchasers dependant on their own requirements, needs and specifications.
