Detached house for sale

Upper Tockington Road, Tockington BS32

The Laurels, a substantial detached cottage situated close to the heart of this pretty village, just along from the village green, the village hall, tennis club and pub! It sits at the head of a beautiful 0.21 acre south-facing plot with some lovely mature trees, secluded seating areas, a summer house, a greenhouse and shed - perfect for the green-fingered amongst us. It is just waiting for some tender loving care, a creative eye and some elbow grease to update it for 21st century life. There is fantastic living space, including the dual-aspect lounge with fireplace, a separate dining room, study and a garden room. The dual-aspect kitchen overlooks the front and side, with a pantry at the rear. A corridor leads though to a generous garage at the side with workshop space at the rear and a door to the garden. Moving upstairs we find four generous bedrooms, three with built-In storage/wardrobes, plus the family shower room. Practical benefits include gas central heating. A bit of a project, however what an opportunity to embrace village life and personalise a wonderful character home. And if you are looking for a quick move it comes with no onward chain!
