DESCRIPTION As you step into this substantial detached home, you are greeted by a long, central hallway that forms the backbone of the property's spacious layout. To the front of the house, you'll find two ground-floor bedrooms. The second bedroom is particularly noteworthy, offering an ensuite bathroom and access to the conservatory through elegant French doors. This bright and airy space not only makes an ideal guest suite but also enjoys stunning views over the rear garden and the fields beyond.
The kitchen and breakfast room is a hub of activity, featuring a classic cream shaker-style kitchen with granite countertops. The kitchen is equipped with a 'Belling' electric range cooker, perfectly framed by a feature brick fireplace, adding character to this functional space. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room, providing ample storage and additional space for white goods, with a side door leading directly to the garden.
Further along the hallway, you'll discover the expansive sitting room, where a feature brick fireplace takes pride of place. A large bay window looks out onto the rear garden, filling the room with natural light. Double doors lead to the central dining room, which serves as an excellent space for entertaining. Beyond this, the conservatory boasts spectacular views over the marshes and fields, where horses often graze and local wildlife, such as foxes and deer, are frequently spotted.
The first floor is equally impressive, with a large landing that leads to three further bedrooms. The master bedroom is a generous space, complete with built-in wardrobes and additional storage within the eaves. An ensuite shower room adds a touch of luxury. A spacious family bathroom, equipped with both a bath and a separate shower, serves the remaining bedrooms, including bedroom five, which is currently used as a study but could easily function as a bedroom if needed.
