Bolton Lane, Hose LE14

** detached period conversion ** significantly reconfigured & extended ** 4 double bedrooms ** 3 receptions ** ensuite & main bath room ** walled southerly facing rear garden ** utility & ground floor cloak room ** off road parking ** spacious & versatile layout ** viewing highly recommended **

A really unique opportunity to purchase a quite fascinating and deceptive period home understood to have formerly been The Black Horse public house, reputed to date back to the late 1800s and given permission to be converted into a residential property around 2013. The property then underwent a significant programme of thoughtful renovation and reconfiguration to create a particularly well proportioned and versatile home which approaches 2,300 sq.ft. Plus a useful basement storage area.

The property combines both traditional and contemporary elements which begin with its attractive double fronted period facade behind which lies a good level of accommodation, boasting three main receptions as well as a spacious dining kitchen, a useful utility room and a ground floor cloak all accessed off a well proportioned central hallway. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the principal of which benefits from ensuite facilities, as well as access onto a sizeable roof terrace which provides an attractive outdoor terraced seating area with pretty views. In addition a recently modernised contemporary shower room services the other bedrooms.

Every room offers its own individuality with the property boasting high ceilings, particularly to the first floor, attractive oak internal doors and relatively neutral decoration.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a pleasant central village location fronting the lane with an adjacent treble width block set driveway and an attractive walled boundary which leads into an enclosed south to westerly facing garden. The garden has a central lawn and paved terrace providing a fantastic outdoor entertaining space which links back into the main receptions.

Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this delightful character home.
