Accommodation

A porch at the front of the home makes for a handy separate entrance which opens into the sitting room, with stairs leading to the first floor on the right hand side. This pleasant front room is a cosy open space, with open storage under the stairs. It flows into what was the original kitchen, but now a separate dining area. There is ample room for a table and chairs, and to have such a spacious additional separate room and a property of this style is a real bonus, which is also complemented by a WC/utility room. This useful area comprises a WC and wash hand basin, while space and plumbing is provided for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The dining area has an opening which links the kitchen/breakfast room, forming the extended part of the home. It is fitted with base storage cupboards and drawers as well as a fixed corner breakfast bar opposite. Space is provided for a fridge/freezer, while there is a stainless steel sink/drainer, induction hob and eye level double electric oven. Plenty of light illuminates the space from windows as well as double doors lead out to the garden.

Heading upstairs to the first floor, the landing gives access to all three bedrooms and the shower room. This comprises a modern suite to include a WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a large walk-in shower with a tiled surround. Bedroom two at the rear enjoys the most impressive views over the rural landscape which adjoins Bratton Fleming village. Bedroom one is a good size double room to the front aspect, with the third bedroom a single to the same elevation. Finally, leading from the landing, stairs lead up to an attic room, forming an optional fourth bedroom. This is a versatile extra space with storage into the eaves and a Velux window in the roof. 

Outside & parking

To the front of the home, there is a communal courtyard shared with other neighbouring properties, which leads up to the gate taking you into the front garden. This is enclosed with a small picket fence and is laid to lawn with a short path leading up to the front door.

Stepping out the back from the kitchen/dining area from double doors, the back garden is a low maintenance area which is laid with decking from front to back, and with a pedestrian gate leading round to the garage block. A couple of steps laid down to a significant shed which is used for storage. The extended part of the home has timber cladding and this easy-to-maintain area makes for a real sun trap.
