A wonderful period 3 reception roomed and 6 bedroomed detached house full of charm and character set amidst it's own level established gardens.
In more detail ...
This 1930's detached house is built of mellow red brick and sits in a secluded tucked away position in established level gardens. The property would now benefit from sympathetic design and refurbishment to enhance its value and full potential. This has been a very happy family home to the current vendor for the past 20 years and you get a sense of the warmth and peace Forton Cottage offers as soon as you walk through the door. The house is full of character with original period features such as wooden floor boards, picture rails, sash windows and doors in abundance. The brick built entrance porch with terracotta tiled flooring welcomes you to an internal door with beautiful stained glass windows which opens into a spacious welcoming hallway with exposed wooden floor boards underfoot. There is a lovely bay fronted sitting room with a view across the secluded garden and a focal point is created by a tiled working fireplace (subject to flue and chimney sweeping checks). A spacious dining room also offers lovely garden views via two sash windows to the side aspect. This room has wooden floorboards, picture rails and a bespoke period feature of two base cupboards with two drawers above and two further cupboards with painted sliding doors. There is also a study with a useful under stairs cupboard with a tongue and grooved wooden painted door. An inner hallway, with tiled flooring, provides cloak hanging space and has space and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen provides a range of wall and base units with oak effect door fronts with a complementary granite style worktop inset with a white ceramic one and a quarter sink unit and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Smeg 5 ring electric induction hob (one ring not working) space for electric cooker. To a dish washer and low level fridge. The garden room is quite rudimentary but provides 3 points of access to the rear and side gardens and offers space for an American style fridge/freezer, and lots of storage space too for items such as boots and shoes.
What the owner likes ...
\"This has been a very happy family home for us for the last 20 years. Our large family, plus visiting family and friends have enjoyed the individual space this house has afforded us without detriment to its cosy and homely feel, often remarked upon by our visitors. The proximity of the local beaches, town centre, schools and transport facilities have all helped to deliver a high quality of life. The offspring have now flown the nest and our lovely house is too large now for those of us who are left, so it is time for us to move onâ¦\"
Bear in mind ...
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom, each having their own individual style and features. A bathroom is fitted with a white suite with a panelled corner bath with a mixer shower and a pedestal wash hand basin. There is a separate wc adjacent to the bathroom. In 1998 the current owner extended into the loft to provide two further double bedrooms with the necessary building regulations approval. These second floor bedrooms, each have a corner with exposed timbers with restricted head height and one has a recessed wardrobe with double louvre doors. Outside the house is bordered by mature hedging and fencing providing a really secluded atmosphere to the gardens which sweep from the front to the side and across the rear. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with some specimen shrubs and trees. There is a summer house with a small patio area and several wooden garden sheds are included. There is gas central heating and all mains services are provided. This wonderful detached house offers the opportunity to put your own stamp on a substantial detached home and we highly recommend an early viewing to appreciate the lifestyle and the size and nature of accommodation this property affords.
