Full Description: A substantial period home within the desirable village of Upton Scudamore, in need of modernisation.<br /><br /> <b>Description</b><br /><br />This delightful Grade II Listed detached village home occupies a wonderfully private position in the heart of the village, discreetly screened behind a mature beech hedge. Rich in character and period charm, the property presents a rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a substantial home with no onward chain along with enormous potential to create a truly exceptional family residence.<br /><br />The house offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors (circa 2700 sq ft). Whilst the property would now benefit from significant modernisation and investment, it retains many attractive original features and provides an exciting canvas for those seeking to sympathetically enhance a home of genuine character.<br /><br />The accommodation flows naturally through a series of inviting reception rooms, with the kitchen forming the heart of the house. Featuring an Aga, space for informal dining and an adjoining back kitchen/utility room, this area offers excellent scope for reconfiguration and improvement. Beyond, the dining room boasts an impressive inglenook fireplace, creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for entertaining, whilst the separate sitting room and charming drawing room provide further flexible living space. The drawing room is particularly appealing, enjoying sash windows, an attractive fireplace and direct access to the gardens. A separate study offers an ideal space for home working or additional family use.<br /><br />Upstairs, there are four bedrooms together with two smaller ancillary rooms, ideal as a dressing room, nursery or home office, providing adaptable accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyle requirements.<br /><br /><b>Outside</b><br /><br />Outside, the property is complemented by a large cottage-style garden, offering a delightful blend of mature planting, privacy and space for keen gardeners and families alike.
