Elmley Road, Ashton-under-Hill, WR11

A spacious family house, located near the centre of this bustling village and backing onto open farmland. Principally constructed of brick and thought to date back in part to the early C19th, the property has been sympathetically extended, enlarged and much improved to suit modern day living. The property retains much of its original character and has been enhanced by the individual nature of the improvements and additions. The accommodation flows exceptionally well with two staircases and an interlinking first floor. The kitchen, complete with Aga and granite work tops forms the hub of the house off which is a triple aspect dining room with oak floor; the kitchen is served by a separate, traditionally styled utility room with a stone-flagged floor. The sitting room features a fireplace with wood pellet burner and opens directly onto a decked terrace from which are fine open views. Within the older part are two further reception rooms, comprising a cosy snug with wood burner and a family room presently serving as a fifth bedroom. A cellar and cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs there are four bedrooms served by an en-suite to the master, a family bathroom and separate shower room.

Outside

To the front, a five bar gate set within a boundary wall opens to a stone chipping driveway which provides extensive parking and access to a wood-framed car barn with electric vehicle charging point, storage and a workshop. Contained within the garden is a purpose built garden office with lovely views and fitted with a small kitchenette and wood-pellet burner. The gardens are well established and of a good size with lawn, well-stocked beds, borders and a number of mature silver birch. A pathway leads to a summer house with seating area positioned for the late sun; a gate leads into a sizable vegetable garden with raised beds and a further garden shed.
