DESCRIPTION
This impressive house dates from circa. 1920 and was built for the local doctor to provide a superior home and surgery. In the 1960s a detached building was erected to the side of the house and this became the new surgery. Today this detached building has been converted to provide an independent and successful 2 bedroom holiday letting property and the main house was totally refurbished 7 years ago to a very high standard making a comfortable family home with ‘bed & breakfast’ potential. ‘Old Trien House’ benefits from Upvc double glazed windows, an oil fired central heating system and fresh internal accommodation. The original features include high ceilings with ornate cornicing and large 4 panel doors throughout. A major feature of the house is the family/dining room, located just off the kitchen, which has a large bay window to the front and high vaulted beamed ceiling. The accommodation within the house comprises on the ground floor, entrance vestibule, hallway, sitting room, kitchen, family/dining room, utility room, cloakroom and bedroom 1 (with en-suite facilities.) The upper floor has a spacious landing with 4 further bedrooms off and a family bathroom. The self-catering unit has an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with 2 bedrooms (one with en-suite facilities and one with a shower) plus a separate cloakroom. There is a garage adjoining the self-catering block. The subjects for sale stand in a neat area of garden ground extending to over a 1/3 of an acre or thereby which is neatly maintained and fully enclosed.
