This spacious detached property, with its origins tracing back to the 18th century, carries a rich history, having once served as the Black Lion public house until 1905 and more recently functioning as a village petrol station and shop. The home offers a unique canvas for renovation, allowing prospective buyers to infuse their personal style while preserving charming period features that include original fireplaces, a striking stone staircase, exposed beams, and hardwood floorboards. Additionally, modern conveniences such as double glazing and oil central heating are already in place.
Inside, the layout comprises three reception rooms, providing ample space for relaxation and entertaining. A garden room or conservatory extends from the lounge, enhancing the connectivity with outdoor spaces. The kitchen is conveniently located off the dining room for ease of use during mealtime. There are also front and rear porches, along with a shower room and WC on the main level. Upstairs features four bedrooms paired with a family bathroom that includes a separate shower area.
An impressive adjoining workshop equipped with a mezzanine level presents further potential for development or conversion. Accompanying this space are a double garage and two smaller workshops that could serve various purposes—a potting shed or additional storage. The property boasts well-maintained front and rear gardens adorned with lawns, ornamental shrubs, fruit trees, and colorful flower borders. A private rear garden features a stone terrace that offers serene views of the picturesque countryside.
Current owners have drawn up plans to modify internal layouts to include an additional bathroom on the first floor by reconfiguring the staircase; these modifications would be subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.
