<b>Description</b>
Angel House is an attractive property, believed to date circa mid-18th Century, of Georgian architecture. The property was formerly a coaching inn and in recent years converted into a charming private dwelling.
</br>
The current owners have enhanced the accommodation including a new kitchen, re-fitted bathrooms, a new central heating boiler and many cosmetic improvements.
</br>
<b>Accommodation</b>
An attractive portico entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall having an exposed beamed ceiling and quarry tile flooring, in a herringbone fashion. With front aspects towards St Oswald’s Church, is a well-proportioned sitting room featuring a woodburning stove within a painted decorative surround with quarry tiled hearth, an exposed king beam and French doors, leading to the rear of the property.
</br>
At the heart of the house is a spacious family kitchen with dining area, fitted with a range of shaker style cabinets in a peninsular design, under solid oak woodblock work surfaces. A broad range of appliances include a Rangemaster gas hob with extractor hood and integrated appliances include a washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer, dishwasher and a full height fridge. The kitchen is a social space offering a seating area along with space for a large dining table. A stable door gives access to the rear courtyard and a further door opens into a generous boot room, with quarry tile flooring and a stable door to the rear of the property.
</br>
To the rear of the property is a generous snug with part-vaulted ceiling and a large chimney recess with quarry tile hearth, offering scope for a wood burner, where required. This room could equally serve as a fourth bedroom as it enjoys an adjoining en suite shower room with walk in thermostatic shower with drench head and wand, a vanity sink cabinet, a low-level WC, chrome heated towel radiator and porcelain tiled flooring.
</br>
A staircase with attractive spindle banister and polished handrails rises to a large landing, currently being used as a home office and reading room but also has potential to be partitioned, to create a fourth first floor bedroom. There are three generous bedrooms, all having exposed roof timbers, served by a large, and recently refitted, family bathroom. The family bathroom includes a freestanding claw foot bath, a walk-in thermostatic shower with a drench head and wand, a pedestal wash hand basin, low level WC and two column radiators with chrome towel rails. The bathroom also includes a large boiler room, providing linen storage.
