THE PROPERTY

A delightful residence offering almost 2,000 sq ft of modern family living space over two floors. The property has been greatly improved during our client’s occupation with a sympathetic extension in 2015, transforming the first floor accommodation. The house has been completely rewired and benefits from a new central heating system which is solar compatible. There is also hard-wired high-speed internet to each room and cavity wall insulation throughout, producing fantastic energy efficiency. A well-designed pitched roof runs above the kitchen, dining room and garage which has transformed the property aesthetically and provides additional natural light via skylight windows. The kitchen and bathrooms were all renovated within the last 8 years and the detached summer house/studio, which is also insulated and connected to electricity, was installed in 2019.
A generous front porch benefits from granite flooring and opens into a flood lit hallway with limestone flooring and a turning stairwell to the first floor bedrooms. Double glass doors open to a delightful sitting room with dual aspect to the front and side garden and a beautiful fireplace with AGA multifuel stove, protected by a sandstone surround. Further double doors lead through to the part vaulted dining room with skylight window and trifold doors opening to the surrounding rear patio. The dining room gives access to the generous kitchen breakfast room which is also part vaulted with skylight window and lovely views of the rear garden and countryside. The kitchen benefits from a double butler sink, limestone flooring, space for an AGA, American style Samsung fridge freezer and walk in pantry. It also provides a built in BOSCH dishwasher and microwave and is served by a generous utility room / boot room which opens to the rear patio and rear garden. This section of the house also benefits from a ground floor shower / cloakroom with heated towel rail. A dual aspect office/study to the front of the house, adjacent to the sitting room, completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor the landing benefits from a well considered light well and leads to the four double bedrooms and family bathroom. Of note, the principal bedroom with its own separate dressing room and wonderful ensuite shower room with granite tops, limestone flooring, heated towel rail and double length rainfall shower. The master suite is located within the recent extension and looks across the front garden. The remaining three double bedrooms are served by a lovely family bathroom, along with the ground floor shower room. The bathroom also benefits from granite tops and limestone flooring.

Externally the property is in equally good condition, recently improved and landscaped, sitting centrally and deep within its wonderful plot. The frontage is generous with a sweeping gravel driveway wrapping around a lovely front lawn, to the garage and further parking adjacent. It is important to note that this section of the property (southern aspect) could provide space for a further two storey extension if required and subject to the usual consents. Tall double gates beyond the garage open from the side to the rear garden, there is further side access to the northern boundary. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and benefits from an extensive patio, protected by far reaching countryside to the rear boundary, the views are spectacular. The garden also provides a (14'7 x 8'4) detached summer house / studio with electricity connected and good insulation with an integrated wood store. Ideal for a second office if working from home.
