DESCRIPTION

Seggieden House is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an attractive and traditionally built house which now requires refurbishment. Built of stone under a slate roof the accommodation is laid out over two floors and briefly comprises 5/6 bedrooms, 3 formal rooms, kitchen, bathroom, w/c and 3 back rooms; the layout can be seen in greater detail on the accompanying floorplan. Of particular note are the two formal room to the front of the property, both are complete with intricate cornice work and dual aspect windows. Further to this there are two sets of stairs (one partially covered) which could, subject to any necessary consents, provide the opportunity for subdivision as required.

Externally there is a large garden to the front of the property, with the whole extending to approximately 0.94 acres in total. There are two drives, one of which has been unused for some time but if reinstated would create an attractive formal driveway leading to the front door. The driveway which is currently in use leads to the back door of the property and the garage which is now requiring repair. Completing the outside is the boiler room and store accessed from the side of the property.

Important Notes

It has been noted that some of the materials in the property may contain asbestos. Care should be taken when in the gardens as a former pond/composting area is present.
