Description
The front door opens to an entrance hall where a charming sitting room, with built in cupboard, bay window with seat and a wood burner can be found. This dual aspect room with French doors leading out to the gardens is an ideal space for relaxing and indeed entertaining. There are engineered oak floors throughout giving the downstairs a wonderful feeling of space. Also on this floor is a sizable dining room, with wood burner, offering versatile usage for a potential downstairs bedroom, with the modern shower room next door, giving flexibility for elderly family members that may come and stay.
The kitchen which sits towards the rear of the property is complete with a range of solid oak wall and base units under granite worktops, housing a Rangemaster with extractor fan, an integrated dishwasher and space and connection for a fridge freezer. The utility room next door has an integrated water softener and space and connection for a washing machine. The garden room off the kitchen with doors out to the gardens, is the perfect space for a table and chairs. It is double glazed which gives a warm place to sit on a winter or summer's day. The exposed stone and beams throughout these spaces add a sense of character and charm.
A wooden staircase rises up to the first floor which has three double bedrooms with double glazed windows and built in cupboards. The principal bedroom is triple aspect with views out to the gardens beyond, making this room wonderfully light. The practical family bathroom with bath tub, basin and wc is close to all the bedrooms. Worth a special mention is the immense loft which could create further accommodation, subject to any necessary planning consents.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached from the lane via a tarmac driveway, leading to a gravel parking area for several cars. To the side of the drive is a large double garage with electricity, a Belfast sink and water supply. This is a large space for storage but could indeed present some exciting potential to convert to an annexe, subject to the necessary planning consents. There is also a store and log store attached to this building giving a huge amount of space.
The gardens are a delight with an abundance of well stocked borders that have been thoughtfully planted with a variety of shrubs and fruit trees including pear, plum, morello cherry, crab, cooking and James Grieve apples. The two greenhouses and vegetable beds house a variety vegetables, fruits and herbs, including tomatoes, courgettes, squash, runner and broad beans, corn, peas, spinach, raspberries, strawberries and grapes. To the rear of the garden is a wonderfully bright double glazed summer house, which could be used as a home office, but is also a perfect space for relaxing with friends during the summer months.
