There is a new vitrified porcelain patio and pathway with outside light and an outside power point.

Entering the property via the entrance porch, the main hallway is large and spacious enabling the storage of coats and boots and with a useful storage cupboard under the stairs leading to the first floor. The 23ft long lounge/dining room is a spacious room with views overlooking the front garden and has an attractive stone faced fireplace with an excellent working fire. A useful office space come study with two Velux windows at the rear provides space that could also be used as a hobby or craft room.

In the bright and airy kitchen, there are plenty of wall and base units with a well maintained Teak work surface, built in microwave unit, space and plumbing for a fridge, dishwasher and an LPG cooker with overhead extraction fan. The back door then leads into a conservatory extension providing a utility room with stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer and upright freezer. There are two good sized cupboards with one of them containing the water filtration units and a secondary electricity consumer unit for the rear extension. A further door then leads into the downstairs shower room with WC and wash basin/vanity unit and Velux Window.

Upstairs, the two main double bedrooms benefit from stunning views over the countryside with the third double overlooking the attractive rear garden. In Bedroom 1 there is a useful airing cupboard which houses a stainless steel immersion tank and the pump for the power shower. The family bathroom is well presented and includes a panel bath with power shower, WC and wash hand basin set in polished Cornish granite above a useful cupboard space. A very large and useful cupboard can also be found off the landing.

The rear gardens have been partially tiered with a patio, lawn and flower beds and a range of mature shrubs, apple trees and a large greenhouse. There is a large shed with stable doors and electric supply at the top of the garden which houses a water tank and log store but has the potential to be developed as an office or further living space. At the top of the garden a private parking space can be found with the most beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside over the property. Automatic lights lead the way to the property from the parking space.
