With elevated panoramic views, this home has been upgraded to a high standard. Improvements include a new kitchen, new bathroom, new internal doors, repointed chimney and external walls...and has been freshly redecorated throughout. The electrics and plumbing have also been updated. The quality floorboards have been left exposed so you have the choice to retain them or add carpet should you wish.
Located at the northern end of the popular village of Bonsall, this home is raised high above the High Street and has views over rooftops to the hilly countryside in all directions. Built in the 1960s as a three bedroom bungalow (albeit the staircase has always been a ladder up to the third bedroom) the home currently comprises spacious rooms, plenty of off-road parking and a large garden.
On the ground floor, a wide south-facing sun room leads to an entrance hallway. Doors lead into the sitting room, kitchen (and through to an extended workshop), bathroom and two ground floor bedrooms. Upstairs is a large attic room/third bedroom and additional loft room.
To the side of the home is a tarmac driveway - and a wraparound garden of mainly lawn takes up the remainder of the approximate third of an acre plot.
Bordering the Peak District National Park, Bonsall is a charming village which was historically a thriving lead-mining location. Nowadays, villagers and visitors alike explore the Limestone Way path and network of walks in all directions then refuel at The Fountain Tea Rooms (including village shop), Barley Mow and Kings Head pubs. The village field includes a playground and football pitch - and there is a beautiful church on the hilltop as well as picturesque steep dales, woods and cliffs all around. Famously, the annual World Championship Hen Race takes place at the Barley Mow pub every August!
Front of the home
A curved private road leads from the High Street up to the tarmac drive, to the side of this home, with space for 3-4 vehicles to park. A traditional Derbyshire dry stone wall forms the boundary, with raised lawns at the front, which wrap around the home. A timber fence forms the left-hand boundary of the lawn. Seven wide, shallow stone steps lead up to the front door and into the wide Sun Room.
Sun Room
5.1 x 1.6 (16'8" x 5'2")With full-height glazing to the front, this is the perfect spot for seating. Views to hilly countryside at the front contrast with the pretty jumble of gristone houses on the hillside to the left (east). A part-glazed door leads out to the side garden, with another part-glazed door opening into the entrance hallway.
Entrance Hallway
The L-shaped hallway has exposed solid pine floorboards. There is a radiator, ceiling light fitting and space to install a permanent staircase up to the first floor. Matching white doors lead into the sitting room, kitchen (and workshop), bathroom and two ground floor bedrooms, as well as a tall storage cupboard.
Sitting Room
4.25 x 3.85 (13'11" x 12'7")A wide east-facing window offers great views of the countryside - and you may wish to remove the sun room to enhance those vistas. A square picture book window looks out to the garden. The room has solid pine floorboards, two radiators and a ceiling light fitting. The gas supply in the chimney breast can be reinstated or you have the option to fit a wood burner or multifuel burner.
Kitchen
3.5 x 3.15 (11'5" x 10'4")The newly fitted kitchen has a range of modern high and low level cabinets and pan drawers. A long worktop includes a four-ring induction hob and electric oven with brushed chrome extractor hood above. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and the stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap is situated beneath a wide new window to the garden. The kitchen also includes a dishwasher, boiler and radiator. There is a capped gas supply for the oven in case you want to change the supply from electric.
Workshop
2.7 x 2.45 and 2.45 x 1.9 (8'10" x 8'0" and 8'0" xThis footprint - subject to planning consent - gives the opportunity to extend at ground level and maybe an additional storey above.
Bathroom
2.4 x 1.7 (7'10" x 5'6")The sparkly new suite comprises a bath with chrome taps and mains-fed shower over, with monsoon shower head and separate hand-held attachment. A curved ceramic sink with chrome mixer tap sits atop a vanity unit, next to the ceramic WC. The room also includes a new chrome heated towel rail, floor-to-ceiling tiling, laminate floor, extractor fan and frosted double-glazed window.
Bedroom One
3.9 x 3.65 (12'9" x 11'11")Situated at the front of the home, this freshly-decorated room has solid pine floorboards, a radiator and ceiling light fitting.
Bedroom Two
3.65 x 3.5 (11'11" x 11'5")We particularly love the east-facing views of the houses rising up the hillside opposite. This room has solid pine floorboards, a ceiling light fitting and radiator.
Attic Room
3.6 x 3.3 (11'9" x 10'9")Built as a formal three bedroom bungalow originally, this upper floor bedroom has always been accessed via a ladder from the entrance hallway, which we know first-hand from the family was a fun adventure for all the child residents of this room! It is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting. Being higher up, it also rewards those ascending the ladder with the best views in the house!
Loft Room
7.8 x 4.2 (25'7" x 13'9")This huge loft storage area has the potential - subject to planning consent - to be a fantastic fourth bedroom. We understand that the central chimney pillar is not load bearing and could be removed to create a wonderful open space.
