4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale
Positioned favourably on the fringes of the ever sought after village of Southminster, with wonderful panoramic farmland views to the rear, is this quaint, individual and vastly improved detached cottage with adjoining apartment, which in a previous life, was a shop well known locally. The property dates back approximately to the 1760's and was later extended in the 1960's and 70's and offers a variety of features one would expect from a property of this ilk and era. Generously sized living accommodation commences to the side of the cottage with an inviting entrance hall leading to a living room and dining room separated by an imposing red brick fireplace, 'L' shaped kitchen, bathroom/utility with adjoining WC, cloakroom and ground floor bedroom. The first floor then offers two double bedrooms and a landing area complimented by the aforementioned stunning farmland views to the rear. Accessed from both the dining room and road frontage is the apartment which in its previous guise was a shop that traded for a number of years but has now been converted to create a fully self contained one bedroom apartment which has been let out by the present owners on a 'holiday let' basis and provides an extra income. Externally, the property enjoys a well presented wrap around rear garden as well as an impressively sized driveway providing extensive off road parking. In addition, planning permission was previously granted (now lapsed) for the apartment on the side to be removed allowing for a new proposed dwelling, one meter from the existing property, a detached house with two bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom to the first floor. Lounge, kitchen/diner, hallway and cloakroom to the ground floor. Externally the new plot would have parking for two vehicles and rear garden. An early viewing to fully appreciate the unique nature, character and stunning views this property has to offer is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. Energy Rating E.
