Cottage
This is a rare opportunity to purchase what was originally a row of three cottages which were altered some years ago into two homes with the accommodation arranged on two floors.
This is the first time these properties have been placed on the market for over 100 years and they are now being sold with the benefit of no upward chain.
Sawley is a lovely residential area that has a semi rural feel and the property is well placed for easy access to a number of local amenities and facilities as well as excellent transport links, all of which have helped to make this a very convenient and popular place for people to live.
The properties were originally built in the middle of the 19th Century and having been extended at the far end approximately 60 years ago.
Number 67 is entered through the first front door as you enter through the gate from Wilne Road. The accommodation includes a reception hall, a sitting room, lounge with snug at the rear, off which there is a cloakroom, the kitchen is fitted with wall and base units, off the kitchen there is a rear hall and the pantry, from the hall there are stairs leading to the first floor landing which is approx. 26ft in length, and leads to three good sized bedrooms, one of which has a toilet en-suite and a shower room.
Number 71 has two entrance doors with the main door leading into a hallway from which there are open tread stairs leading to the first floor. To the left of the hall there is the dining kitchen which is fitted with wall and base units and has fitted seating with storage below. There are two large reception rooms and a second flight of stairs takes you to the first floor which could be part of a third cottage if this was preferred. Off the landing within this area of the building there is a large bedroom and a shower room with the second landing to this cottage providing access to two further bedrooms and a second shower room.
Outside there is the courtyard garden at the front with lawned areas in the front of 67 Wilne Road. There is car parking and at the bottom of the drive a storage area for a caravan, motorhome or similar vehicle. The outbuildings include a w.c. and an outbuilding next to number 71, there is a large brick store/motorbike shed, a separate garage, a utility/washroom building and an original air raid shelter which provides additional storage.
