This property is also a great home to simply move into and live at it is, with only some decoration required.

Approaching The Property - Meadowsweet can be accessed from three different points, the main incoming lane, through a rear access gate and from the garage/car port. Tucked to one side of the garden, if entering from the main lane, a paved path leads down and around the expanse of outside patio area and flows towards the kitchen door or further around to the main entrance door with its internal porch.

Ground Floor - A home that is bright and airy with exposed beams, fantastic views, and the benefit of a downstairs shower room and bedroom along with a large sitting room and separate dining room that all flow off the main bright sunny hallway.
A bright internal porch with tiled flooring and original oval decorative glass panels on the interior windows, gives way to the main hallway. A long living area, with brick fireplace and triple aspect windows has double patio doors that open onto its own balcony to view the splendid garden and countryside.
The bedroom on this level is light and newly decorated in soft tones with new carpet. Following on from here is a downstairs shower room, fully tiled and a sunken bath with overhead shower.

The dining room, with its double aspect outlook, has a fireplace with a brick surround and stone hearth which is in keeping with the character of the house. A pair of doors open into the terracotta tiled kitchen with a wealth of wooden cupboards which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher as well as an integral 4 ring gas hob and oven. A large utility room with further storage, sink and worksurface is off the kitchen and has access to the garden.

First Floor - The landing gives way to two double bedrooms that meet up at the 'Jack and Jill' sun room that looks out to sea and is the most peaceful spot to watch the changing sea views across the countryside and tree tops.

Both of these characterful bedrooms have sloped ceilings and under eaves storage with the principal bedroom having additional built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The other double has an ensuite toilet and basin.
Within the hallway is a useful large storage cupboard and access to the loft.

Garden - The property is nestled in one corner of this large and extremely well kept garden which is very private despite its exceptional size. An array of paved terracing sweeps away from the house with ample space to entertain, and has black railings interspersed with brick pillars along the edges and steps down to the main lawn. This quiet and serene outside space has paths that twist and turn around this peaceful garden, running along the edge and through the centre of the lawn leading to the purpose built office, garden store and the garage with the covered car port alongside.
The garage has a large workshop within it and is complete with power and lighting.
The flora within the garden include palms, buddleia, roses, hydrangeas and an apple tree.
