Description


Farthings is constructed of brick under a tiled roof and approached over a gravel drive leading to a car parking and turning area. This excellent detached property represents a very rare buying opportunity within Audlem village. It was built in 1954 and offers the ultimate in flexibility with both ground and first floor bedrooms. It will be suitable for both family’s and those looking to downsize into a prime village location. From the front Farthings looks fairly typical of its 1950’s architecture type being appealing, characterful and interesting. But it doesn’t look particularly large. However, the bungalow has been extended through the years to 1,850 square feet. The majority of the accommodation is at ground floor level with just two bedrooms, a bathroom and an office/store at first floor level.

The rear garden is an absolute delight being South Easterly in its aspect. In addition to the well tendered lawn there is a large raised flagged terrace, well stocked flower and herbaceous borders and a kitchen garden.
