This fine, individual detached house enjoys a wonderful position just a short walk from the primary school, village public house and overlooks the village cricket pitch. The current owners have transformed the original building with a programme of expansion and full refurbishment and in fact a viewer would be forgiven for thinking that the property was new, as little of the former remains . The property was expertly designed to ensure a light and airy feel, finished to exacting standards throughout.

This room could easily facilitate a shower area. There are two reception rooms including a large, dual aspect sitting room with bifold doors to the rear and a feature, gas stove. The study has in the past been utilised as a ground floor bedroom given its close proximity to the cloakroom w.c. Particular attention is drawn to the fabulous kitchen / dining / living room, a generously proportioned family space with bifold doors to both rear and side aspects. The kitchen area is fitted with attractive white gloss-fronted cabinetry with deep pan drawers, pull-out larders and complemented by marble work surfaces with a matching central island / breakfast bar.
