DESCRIPTION

Elm Tree House comprises a substantial architecturally interesting and

attractive 4-bedroomed semi-detached former farmhouse situated in a

nicely set back from the main road through Leeming Bar and off the

of brick built with contrasting architecturally attractive brick work under

a traditional tiled roof. To the front the property enjoys tarmacadam

driveway giving access to the front and providing hardstanding for a

number of vehicles together with access to the attached garage.

The front garden is lawned with two substantial, well stocked mature

shrubberies. It is nicely contained behind a low level brick wall enclosed

to the front to two sides with wrought iron railings above and through

twin pillars with wrought iron gate. Adjacent to the property is a natural

stone flagged patio. Adjacent to the property is a tarmacadam driveway

to the side which gives access to the rear and the neighbouring property

and opens out to the rear to an extensive tarmacadam yard area at present

satisfactory right of way for the neighbour. Immediately to the rear of

the property is an enclosed area of garden laid principally to lawn with a

big flagged patio, outbuildings and attached greenhouse.

Internally the property enjoys particularly well laid out and spacious,

generously proportioned accommodation with particularly attractive

reception rooms the majority of which enjoy period fireplaces, coved

ceiling and ceiling roses. There is considered to be scope for updating,

modernisation and possible extension subject to purchasers’ requirements
