Full description:
A genuinely individual two-bedroom Victorian home with a generous private garden and substantial, separately accessed additional space, offering an unusual combination of character, privacy, entertaining space and the potential to live and work in one place.
Dating back approximately 150 years and formerly a village bakery, this distinctive semi-detached property is far more than its two-bedroom description initially suggests.
Approached via its own block-paved driveway, the property immediately offers a surprising sense of space and privacy despite its prominent position on Chester Road. The main house, generous garden and substantial additional space combine to create a property with possibilities that are difficult to find in one conventional home.
The home

The main residence has a wonderfully individual layout, with considerably more space than you might expect from a typical two-bedroom property.
The welcoming entrance halls lead through to the dining room and generous living room, with character features and French doors opening directly onto the rear decking.
The bright double-aspect kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and further versatile reception space provide additional flexibility, with the latter offering potential for use as an office, gym, hobby area or additional living space.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, together with a bright family bathroom and additional landing/office space.
The accommodation has a characterful and individual feel, with a layout that offers plenty of opportunity for buyers to make the various spaces work around their own lifestyle.
The garden & outdoor living

One of the propertys real highlights is its private south/south west facing garden. Extensive decking provides a wonderful outdoor dining and entertaining space, complete with pizza oven/BBQ. A pond and established planting add to the feeling of privacy, creating a surprisingly peaceful and secluded setting despite the prominent Chester Road position.
Its a garden designed to be enjoyed, whether entertaining friends on a summer evening, dining outdoors or simply relaxing in a private and tranquil setting.
The additional space

And this is where the property becomes particularly unusual.
Separate from the main house is a substantial additional space with its own independent access, currently arranged and use as a holistic therapy practice.
The space includes a reception/shop/client areas, a further room/salon, shower facilities and changing space, and has the advantage of being completely separate from the main living accommodation.
Its current arrangement makes it particularly suited to a home based business, allowing clients to visit without entering the main house.
However, its appeal is not limited to business use. Subject to any necessary consents, the space could potentially suit a variety of purposes, including a studio, home office, creative workspace, hobby area, professional use or flexible accommodation.
For a buyer who wants to work from home, it provides a genuine separation between work and home life.
For someone who doesn’t need business space, it simply provides something increasingly difficult to find in a home, a substantial amount of additional space that can be adapted around your own needs.
The workshop

Alongside the property is a substantial covered workshop/outbuilding measuring approximately 12.5 metres long by 2.5 metres wide, with electricity and water.
The current owners have transformed this into a wonderfully individual space incorporating a home bar, workshop, garden room and entertaining area.
It could continue to be enjoyed in its current form or adapted to suit its next owners needs, whether for hobbies, storage, creative pursuits, workspace or entertaining.
The workshop also forms part of the propertys existing Business Rates arrangement.
A property with possibilities

What makes this property so unusual is the way its different spaces can be used independently or together.
It could suit someone looking for a beautiful and characterful home with exceptional additional space, someone wanting to work from home, a creative or practical hobbyist, or someone looking to operate a business while keeping their work and home life genuinely separate.
The existing arrangement includes separately accessed business accommodation and associated Business Rates. Purchases are advised to make their own enquiries regarding any proposed alternative use or reconfiguration.
The property also offers scope for further development with the existing attic space presenting an opportunity for buyers who want to explore extending the accommodation, subject to the appropriate planning and building regulations.
