Accommodation

The main living areas on the ground floor connect really well together with a semi open plan arrangement. The dining area to the front is the perfect space for entertaining and with windows on all sides there is plenty of natural light in addition to direct access via patio doors to the garden. Opening from this space is the cosy lounge area complete with feature fireplace and log burning stove which then connects to the kitchen towards the rear. Overlooking the gardens, the kitchen is a lovely family space with a useful breakfast bar for everyday use and another set of patio doors connecting directly to the gardens. The wall and base units offer a good level of storage with space for slot in appliances. The adjoining utility room offers a useful facility, again with external door to garden. Both ground floor bedrooms are fairly equal in size, one to the front with built in storage and one to the rear with a sunny garden aspect. Either of these rooms would lend themselves well to use as a home office if preferred and are served by the ground floor family bathroom. A pleasant area at the foot of the staircase makes a lovely spot for reading or could easily house a computer desk if preferred.

With windows on two sides, the master bedroom is a bright spacious room with useful built in wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. The two other bedrooms on this level command superb views to the south, both with built in storage and located close to the upstairs cloakroom. Positioned to the front of the building, the upper floor sitting room is an impressive space with double height ceiling, windows on both sides as well as a fully glazed gable. A perfect room for family get-togethers but would make for an equally impressive bedroom if preferred.

External

The enclosed gardens extend to the front, side and rear of the property and whilst largely laid to grass, the current occupants have installed raised vegetable and fruit beds, a chicken coup planted borders and private seating areas. The timber summerhouse to the far corner benefits from power, and the decked terrace on the front commands superb open outlooks – the ideal spot for summer dining. The gardens really enjoy fantastic levels of privacy, are fully secure and with the stunning open outlooks it’s a great spacefor all of the family to enjoy.

Garage & Drive

An area of private parking to the front of the property laid to gravel provides space for a number of vehicles with the garage beyond. This is a double length garage with plenty of space for additional storage and a rear pedestrian door leading to a covered store area which in turn opens to the garden.
