Description Formerly a Natwest Bank – Old Bank House is a superb property set in the heart of the village in an enviable location and initial, external impressions cannot fail to impress – this striking building is very appealing and the internal presentation will not disappoint – Beautifully presented throughout and decorated in subtle natural tones, the property is warm, welcoming, cosy and inviting. Currently a successful holiday let this property is ready to trade and welcome those lucky guests. The contents are available by separate negotiation – apart from personal effects. Alternatively, you may wish to keep it all for yourself and move your family in.

Either way this property is very interesting and something of a rarity. It is not often a property in this location and condition with some outside space comes to the open market.

The attractive front door opens into the Entrance Vestibule which leads into the Open Plan Ground Floor Accommodation which is arranged into three distinct areas with limed grey wood effect laminate flooring throughout. The Dining Area has twin windows with pleasing aspect over the village square. The deep set windows have window seats and original shutters. Useful recessed cupboard and ample space for Dining Table. The Kitchen Area is to the right and partially separated by a peninsula, the Kitchen is furnished with a range of shaker style wall and base cabinets in sofa grey with white ‘quartz’ work-surface, deep white porcelain sink, ceramic hob, electric oven and integrated slimline dishwasher. A small, shuttered window enjoys a front aspect. The walk in Pantry is very useful and is home to the upright fridge freezer and storage shelving. The Lounge area is elegant and tasteful – a perfect place to relax. There is access to the small Cellar where the gas central heating ‘combi’ boiler can be found. There is also plumbing for a washing machine, space for tumble drier and additional storage.

The shallow return stairs with window to the rear on the Half Landing lead to the First Floor. There are 2 well proportioned Double Bedrooms, 1 with front aspect, 1 with rear aspect. Both have charming exposed beams and original fire places (not in use). The luxurious Shower Room serves both Bedrooms and has a white suite comprising double walk in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin on a large vanitory unit. Recessed ceiling spot lights and exposed beam.

Stairs leads to the Second Floor with a window on the Half Landing and a large Double Bedroom with some limited head height in the eaves, roof windows and two recessed cupboards, recessed ceiling spot lights and exposed beams – a lovely Master Bedroom with the benefit of a ‘Bath-Room’ next door. A room purely for a bath – the very height of luxury – the deep, free standing, oval bath is set directly below the roof window and exposed beams – a delightful place to wind down. Also on this floor is a spacious Shower Room with modern 3 piece suite comprising large walk in shower enclosure, WC and twin wash hand basin on a vanitory unit. Recessed shelving and eaves storage.

Externally, a real bonus with this property is the enclosed, private rear Courtyard. Enclosed by stone walls with rear pedestrian gate and with ample space for outdoor furniture and pot plants. The Stone Outbuilding is a final bonus – with power and light and currently utilised for storage. Perhaps with a little ‘tlc’ and imagination this could become an extra room? Maybe an Office? Gym? or just used for bike storage etc.
The only thing left to do is to book a viewing to see this property for yourself.
