ACCOMMODATION:

Applegate is an attractive detached Victorian property offering a rare opportunity to acquire a period property on a large plot and potential for further development. The house itself has been in the same family for 67 years and displays some lovely features of its time, including high ceilings and picture rails, sash windows and the original bell board. It is traditionally constructed with red brick elevations under a tiled roof and cast iron drainpipes. The entrance is into a spacious hall giving access to all reception rooms. The dining room overlooks the front of the property and has a pretty bay window. There is a family room to the other side of the hallway and at the back is both the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room has doors leading out onto a lovely veranda and offering a wonderful opportunity for al fresco dining and entertaining. The kitchen has fitted units all around and then a staircase leads down to the cellar which has two rooms.

To the first floor, the galleried landing is spacious and light. There are four double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate toilet. The house would benefit from updating and offers the opportunity to extend, subject to relevant planning permission.

OUTSIDE SPACE

Privately situated behind hedging, the gravelled driveway sweeps round to the front and offers parking for several cars as well as a car port and garage. There are several shrubs and trees amongst a large generous lawned area.

To the right of the property, double gates take you down to the side of the house where is an outside boiler and gardener's cloakroom. To the opposite side is a period outbuilding which includes a store room, large former stable and tack room plus a tool shed.

The gardens at the back are vast and incorporate a kitchen garden with greenhouse, mature trees and beautifully planted flower beds. The West facing aspect enhances the garden's appeal and offers privacy and quiet. There is potential for a development opportunity, subject to usual requirements, with the wide side access leading down to the gardens. The grounds as a whole measure approximately 0.495 acres.
