The Old Fox and Hound, Little Downham, SAT NAV CB6 2ST

Property Description

GRAND CHARACTER AND COMFORTABLE LIVING

Stepping right when entering the front door, you are greeted by the double height ENTRANCE HALL and its dramatic inglenook fireplace, and the unique circular stove. The exposed timber and quarry tiling add to the character of the room whilst the wide wooden staircase to the galleried landing provides tasteful grandeur. 

As well as providing stairs to the first floor, there is also access from the entrance hall to the CELLAR, currently used as a wine cellar and also has a power supply. 

To the right of the entrance hall, the exposed beams lead your eye down the SITTING ROOM to the large feature inglenook fireplace and the multi-fuel stove.  Three sets of French doors lead to the rear garden, which along with two windows to the front ensure this is a bright and airy room.   The blinds and stylish radiator covers  lend the room a contemporary and comfortable feel to compliment the historic character. 

Turning left from the front door leads to the FAMILY ROOM, which again boasts a large inglenook  fireplace and multi-fuel stove, as well as timber floorboards and exposed beams. Light provided by the dual aspect windows with one to the front and rear. It is easy to imagine this room also being used as a grand dining room with a door leading to the kitchen.

The KITCHEN/DINER has a real country kitchen feel with gorgeous exposed brick herringbone pattern flooring and a large walk-in pantry. There is an extensive range of high-quality, hand-crafted wall and base units, as well as an integrated double oven, and a 5-ring gas hob with extractor unit above.  Two windows look out onto the garden and there is also a door leading outside. A further  door returns you back to the entrance hall and sitting room, and one to the large utility/laundry room and downstairs shower.

There is quarry tiling throughout the  UTILITY/LAUNDRY ROOM and SHOWER ROOM. The utility room has a range of wall mounted units and plumbing for washers/dryers, a Butler sink and built-in cupboards, one of which houses the wall mounted boiler. The shower room has a shower cubicle, low-level W/C, and a wash hand basin.

There is also a door to the rear driveway that is used by their family and friends as the main entrance.

FIRST FLOOR.

Ascending to the first floor affords you a view of the entrance hall below that can be enjoyed along the GALLERIED LANDING.  

Immediately to your right is the large MASTER BEDROOM, a bewitching room with its exposed brick chimney breast, fireplace recess, original timber flooring and beautiful exposed beams. It also has a large walk-in wardrobe which could  possibly be converted into an en-suite bathroom or shower room. The room also benefits from dual aspect windows to the front and rear. 

At the end of the galleried landing is BEDROOM FOUR, a double bedroom with dual aspect windows to the side and front. 

Next to bedroom four is the FAMILY BATHROOM with a Shower Cubicle, Low-Level W/C, and wash hand basin, hardwood flooring and fully tiled walls. (The bath could be reinstated if desired.)

The landing turns to the rear of the house with a window to the rear garden and doors to BEDROOMS TWO and THREE that are both double bedrooms and fully carpeted. 

All the rooms upstairs are exquisitely presented and maintained with a feeling of airy brightness throughout. 

OUTSIDE
The rear of the property welcomes you in with a brick paved driveway, with ample  off-road parking. This gives you a more informal family entrance to the property via the utility room and kitchen. 

There is also gated access into the picturesque private garden, which offers a  peaceful retreat. Along with a large paved and brick terrace for entertaining and dining there is also an additional area laid to lawn and an array of well established and mature shrubs and bushes. The ornamental pond adds to the tranquillity whilst the fenced off area with a hot tub allows for seclusion. 

A STORAGE SHED provides practical space but it is the detached timber ANNEXE / HOME OFFICE that is the surprise star. Whether you need a space to work from home or somewhere to follow a hobby or creative idea, this is the ideal space with power, light, and internet connection; as well as being fully insulated. My clients have also used this as a self contained annexe for a family friend to live independently, as the layout provides for a lounge area, bedroom and ensuite shower.  It could also be used as a holiday let providing additional income.

 VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS:

By appointment only.  Call or text Gavin Human during or after office hours.

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR:

Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and travelling some distance.

Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange an in person viewing at a later date.

HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL:

If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you. Please call Gavin Human for a free, confidential valuation and marketing review with no obligation.
