Accommodation

The front of the home presents an extended porch, which is a welcoming space dividing the home from the outside. It lends itself perfectly to store shoes and other items to ease clutter. A door from here opens into a wide and spacious entrance hall with doors presenting access to the majority of the downstairs accommodation. To the left is a versatile room, currently arranged as an office, but over the years has had various uses, including a playroom or even potential for a fifth bedroom. A door from here also opens into the extended sun room at the back.

From the hallway two doors lead to the open plan sitting and dining area which spans to over 26 feet in length and features a bright aspect. The sitting area itself features an open fireplace which provides the perfect focal point to the room, also with a large bay window at the front. The free flowing space merges with a dining area, although some would consider removing the kitchen wall to create an open plan kitchen/dining area. The separate kitchen is accessed also from the hallway, and the deceptive room as it stands actually features an abundance of fitted storage cupboards and drawers, while space is also provided for a dishwasher. An eye level electric double oven is built-in, along with a gas hob with an extractor canopy over. Worktop space is provided either side of a stainless steel sink and drainer, while leaving a traditional serving hatch which links the dining room. An opening steps into a lobby, which houses space for a washing machine and also has a door into a cloakroom which comprises a WC and wash hand basin. Completing the last of the ground floor accommodation, the extended sunroom makes for a pleasant space currently, with great potential to be adapted or extended further. For now, it presents sliding doors to the rear garden and mix for a sunny, private spot to enjoy some peace and quiet. 

Heading upstairs, there is a quirky split level either side of a mini landing, adding to the character of this near 100-year-old home. To the left, there is a substantial double room directly over the playroom/office underneath. The rest of the gallery landing is a wide area which gives access to all of the other bedrooms, bathroom and also into the loft space above. Bedroom four is the smallest of them all, a single room to the front of the home. Also to the front is the master bedroom with a generous bay window to mirror the sitting room below, boasting built-in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. Bedroom two makes for a third double room, also with fitted wardrobes for handy storage and enjoys a rear aspect view over the garden. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, and is currently a large three piece suite which comprises a WC, wash hand basin and a panelled bath with shower over.

Outside & parking

A long driveway leads down the left-hand side of the plot and opens up to a wider space to park cars side-by-side. There is a covered carport in front of a garage, which is accessed by an electric roller door. Six or more cars could easily be parked along the driveway, in addition to a further space at the top of the drive which creates another area to park without blocking other cars in. The front garden is without doubt is one of the most glorious features of the home - a very well-tended space with an array of colour from established trees and shrubbery. A long strip of lawn stretches from the edge of the driveway adjoining the front of the home to the front of the plot, which is then boarded with mature hedgerows. 

Access can be found at the side of the home via a pedestrian gate which leads into a lean to, a handy dry space to store tools for the garden. A hardstanding area adjoins the back of the property before connecting a couple patches of lawn either side of a footpath, taking you up to the back of the plot where there is a small pond, apple tree and a variety of further shrubs and flowers which give colour and decoration to the back garden. No neighbours directly overlook the space, making this a relatively well secluded garden which enjoys a pleasant westerly facing aspect.
