Full information

Location

New House Farm stands at the end of Gunstone Lane in a charming, semi-rural position surrounded by open fields and farmland. Despite the idyllic seclusion the house stands within walking distance of the centre of Codsall Village with its comprehensive range of shopping facilities and excellent schooling for which the area is renowned. Rail services run from Codsall station with direct connections to Birmingham and Shrewsbury, the M54 (junction 2) is within easy reach and the address has long since been held to be one of the most sought after locations within the area.

Description

New House Farm is a former farmhouse with elegant elevations typical of its period. The house requires a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment throughout thereby affording buyers the opportunity to personalise the house to their own individual tastes and preferences.

The house provides well proportioned living accommodation over two storeys and there is ample scope for extensions should buyers so wish, subject to gaining all of the usual necessary consents and permissions, with permission already granted for a garden room extension to the lounge, a new drive and a detached double carport.

In addition to the principal residence there is a range of barns to the rear for which planning permission has been granted to provide an excellent, four bedroom / three bathroom detached property with inner courtyard and substantial grounds.

The entire property stands in a large plot of approximately 1.5 acres and would be an ideal purchase for extended families or alternatively those wishing to work from home and wanting to utilise the barns as office or workspace.

Accommodation

An ENCLOSED PORCH leads to the HALL with original decorative floor tiling and a door to the CELLAR. The DRAWING ROOM has quarry floor tiling, an open ceramic-tiled fireplace, plaque rail and a walk-in double glazed bay window (which is where the planning exists for a garden room-style extension). There is a SITTING ROOM with a sash window to the front elevation, original built-in cupboards, an open fireplace and picture rail. The DINING ROOM has a sash window to the front and decorative ceramic-tiled fireplace together with a picture rail. The KITCHEN has a basic range of wall and base mounted cupboards with a double glazed window to the side and quarry tiled floor and there is a large REAR HALL with a double glazed rear door, LAUNDRY, CLOAKS AND SHOWER ROOM and a UTILITY ROOM with wash basin.

A staircase from the hall rises to the galleried first floor LANDING with a double glazed rear window. There are FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS, all of which have decorative fireplaces (which, we are informed by the seller, have been swept and are open so could be used) and two of which have laminated flooring together with a BOX ROOM which could provide the potential for conversion to provide an ensuite and a SHOWER ROOM with a modern suite with a fully tiled shower cubicle with electric shower, pedestal basin and wc, part-tiled walls, a double glazed window and cupboards housing the hot water cylinder.

Outside

New House Farm stands within a large plot with sweeping lawns, mature beds and borders, a rose garden and adjoining paddocks.
