OWNER QUOTE: “A lane runs down the side of the home and leads to a canal and further down, The River Weaver. You can see the children rowing on the river and paddle boarding.”

Welcome Home
Pull off the road and onto the gravel driveway where there is room to park up to four cars. With elegant leaded windows and a feature porthole window beside the front entrance, step onto the tiled floor of the spacious entryway, where there is plenty of room to slip out of coats and ease off shoes and boots.

Turn left into the large open-plan living space that is filled with light. Solid oak floorboards extend underfoot and ahead, the conservatory showcases views of the garden, adding to the sense of space and allowing a seamless flow to the room.

Warm and welcoming, the log burning stove sits comfortably in the impressive inglenook fireplace, ready to be lit on cooler evenings where you can snuggle up for movie nights or play family games whilst basking in the warmth.

OWNER QUOTE: “Both rooms have wood-burning stoves and there is a wooden outbuilding attached to the front of the home that we use for log storage.”

Light-filled Living
Flow through to the conservatory, currently used as a dining area with a large table and chairs, but a space that’s easily adaptable to whatever your needs. With views of the pond and garden, open the French doors to allow an effortless transition between outside and in.

On warmer days, take food outdoors to dine alfresco beside the large pond. Invite family and friends over for impromptu barbecues and garden parties, where guests can move between the areas easily and there is room enough for everyone.

Turn left to find a large bedroom decorated in calming, soft tones and cosily carpeted. With an array of fitted storage and wardrobe space, and a window overlooking the garden, it’s the perfect haven for visiting guests or a family member who likes their own space. Discover the accompanying en-suite comprising a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

A Feast for the Eyes
Retrace your steps back to the entrance and continue into the open-plan kitchen and snug. A large bay window floods the room in light and the solid oak wooden flooring adds to the sense of warmth. Another log burning stove awaits in its inglenook fireplace, ready to add to the ambience. With fitted storage and neutral décor, it’s a room that is as versatile as you are. Make your way through the archway that leads to the kitchen. Striking black tiles and countertops complement the white cabinetry that lines the walls above and below.

A sleek, black Rangemaster cooker with three ovens is ready to cook culinary delights and other appliances include a fridge and freezer. A stable door provides access to the garden, and with plenty of storage and space for all food items and kitchen utensils, cook up family feasts and delicious treats with ease for everyone to enjoy.

Sweet Dreams
Return to the entrance hall and ascend the staircase to the upper floor. Make your way into the spacious double bedroom on the right, with carpet underfoot and filled with light from the dual aspect windows. With beautiful views showcasing the open countryside, wake up to rural scenes each morning to start your day, and to soothe and relax you before you go to sleep.

Cross the landing and turn left into another double bedroom with wooden flooring and neutral décor. Another bedroom can be found further along on the right, with plenty of storage space and ahead is the family bathroom. With tiled walls in black and white, along with black floor tiles, it’s a contemporary spa-like retreat. Fill the jacuzzi bath with bubbles to enjoy a long soak, or freshen up in the walk-in shower before you start your day. With a WC, wash basin and storage, it’s a functional and stylish bathroom, perfect for both relaxation and practicality.

Outside Spaces
Make your way onto the large driveway to the front of the home, that provides ample space for parking. A large, manicured lawn awaits at the rear of the home, where you can enjoy lazy weekends soaking up the sunshine. Dine alfresco on the large patio, where there is ample room for a table and chairs and discover the large pond, filled with Koi Carp and attracting lots of wildlife to enjoy.

OWNER QUOTE: “The garden is south facing and gets the sun, and attracts all sorts of birds and the odd peacock from the farm behind.”

With double doors leading to the conservatory from the garden, as well as the stable door to the kitchen, entertaining is effortless. Family and friends can easily use all the spaces, transitioning between garden, patio, kitchen and dining area.

A shed at the bottom of the garden offers a safe and secure place to store all gardening equipment, and a wooden outbuilding attached to the front of the home is currently used for log storage.
