Description
An amazing opportunity to acquire an impressive Victorian detached house with detached annexe/studio. The Victorian house has recently been used as a holiday let with 5 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms. The annexe/studio is currently fitted out as a professional music recording studio with 4 rooms in addition to a lobby, cloakroom, kitchenette and a series of clever storage spaces. The plot consists of a front lawned garden with a parking area at the side and a rear South West facing garden.
The Victorian house dates back to circa 1850 and has been sympathetically updated for modern living whilst retaining an abundance of character. Improvements by the current vendors include - wooden sash double glazed windows everywhere (except for 3 windows on the first floor at the back); custom made solid French oak internal shutters; the electrics, central heating, plumbing, boiler and oil tank have been replaced. There are two working fireplaces in the property (one intentionally blocked off); modern aqualisa showers installed. Throughout the property are original features including the Victorian railing to the front garden. There is a practical brick lean to attached to the house and parking for up to 4 cars.
The annexe/studio was a joinery workshop but has been turned into a music recording studio. The works carried out included replacing the roof and roof carpentry and installing an electricity system. In each room is reversible independent Air Conditioning. Whilst equipped for use as a professional music recording studio it could be used as an office, gym or as additional living accommodation (subject to planning).
