Studio Property for Sale in HR2

is a handsome period property built of dressed stone and although largely early Victorian in appearance has much earlier origins.  The house was extended in the mid 19th century by Sir James Rankin Bt for his agent.  The former village well lies within the curtilage.  The handsome reception rooms include period features such as large sash windows, interesting fireplaces, decorative coving and plasterwork and panelled doors.  The earlier wing has the large family room with a low stone fireplace with a solid mantel above and a deep bay window.  To the rear is a light kitchen looking out over the yard and includes a range of fitted units and a large Rangemaster within the chimney breast with tiled surround. The cloakroom and utility room are also to the rear with a part glazed door to outside.  From the reception hall a staircase with oak banisters and handrail leads up to a half landing with doors off to a suite of bedrooms in the earlier part of the house which included an en-suite shower room and an unused kitchen this allowing for a self contained annexe.  From the main landing doors lead off to 3 large bedrooms, (bedroom 1 with wash hand basin). a bathroom with decorative tiled walls and a study.  A  good size conservatory was added in 2004, with tiled floor, central heating etc., with direct access to the dining room and gardens.
