A detached period home that has been in the same ownership for over 40 years, located in a delightful spot at the heart of the village of Sixpenny Handley. With its faded charm and lovely views of the church, this property is now in need of refurbishment. An exciting project with the potential to become a truly wonderful home.
Previously used in part as a business, it features a very large garage/outbuilding, which could be repurposed or removed to suit different needs.
Gated access leads to ample parking, while a traditional five-bar gate opens to a picturesque front garden and the front door. Originally two cottages combined into one, and parts believed to be dated back to the 1600's, the property retains much of its character and offers fantastic potential. Whether as a spacious family home, a property with an annex, or even part holiday let.
The front door opens into a bright and characterful KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, with dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. This spacious room features a large inglenook fireplace with a fitted stove, exposed brick walls, a charming window seat, and an abundance of kitchen cupboards. It retains the cosy atmosphere of a traditional period parlour.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the SITTING ROOM is generously sized and features another impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and original bread oven. This room could also be used as a dining room.
Moving into what was once the second cottage, a HALLWAY provides access to a CELLAR with good head height and attractive period brick flooring, perfect for a wine cellar. A second RECEPTION ROOM also features an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, adding to the home's warmth and character. Leading off from this room is a second KITCHEN, which could also serve as a useful utility room.
On the first floor all rooms lead off the LANDING, where you'll find two spacious DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a modern FAMILY BATHROOM. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a large double with a built-in cupboard and stairs leading up to a converted LOFT AREA, currently used as an additional bedroom.
Outside
Outside the pretty FRONT GARDEN is enclosed by a pretty flint stone wall and a large hedge for privacy, with lovely views of the church. To the side of the house, there is plenty of PARKING, while at the rear, further grounds offer potential for additional garden space.
The property also includes an enormous GARAGE/OUTBUILDING (approx. 60ft x 20ft) that lends itself to multiple uses.
