DESCRIPTION

Prospect House comprises a four-bedroom detached character property in a private position in the rural hamlet of Barden. The house would benefit from renovation and modernisation but offers a huge amount of potential to create a modern family home in a peaceful setting. The substantial plot allows for the opportunity to extend, subject to consent. The large south facing garden has open views of the surrounding landscape whilst not being overlooked by any neighbouring property.

ACCOMMODATION

The front door leads into the living room with access through to the dining room, kitchen and traditional walk-in larder beyond. The living room benefits from a solid-fuel open fire which has been lined. There is also a solid-fuel open fire in the dining room but this has not been in use for some time. The living room has access to the first floor where there is a split landing providing access to all rooms. On the western side of the house, there is a double bedroom and a single bedroom/office and on the eastern side there are two further double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via the track from the Village Green and at present there is a pedestrian gate into the garden. The vendor owns the surrounding land and the Village Green. A planning application will be submitted soon to create two parking spaces and a turning area for the benefit of Prospect House. The application also includes details for a new build property on the adjacent plot known as Rose Cottage (see plans). The plot may be available to purchase by separate negotiation. There is a large private garden which is south facing and is well stocked with trees, shrubs and flower beds, all secure behind a mixture of wrought iron railings, walls and hedges. There is a further pedestrian gate to the south end of the garden giving access on to the road. To the west of the house, there is a lean-to timber shed with profile sheet roof.
