The current owner has modernised the property with bespoke sliding sash double glazing, oil-fired central heating and modern bathroom suite. It is beautifully presented and also has plenty of scope for remodelling the large garage/workshop.

This superb property offers plenty of scope for remodelling and extensions if required. The previous owners had planning permission to convert the garage/workshop to further accommodation (this has now lapsed). On the opposite side of the property is a lean-to brick and tiled store which lies adjacent to the dining room and rear hall, which may be converted to an additional bathroom if required (subject to planning).

The entrance porch has a door to the front and windows to each side plus quarry tiled flooring. This leads through to the sitting room which has windows to two aspects plus doors leading to the dining room and study. It features a modern wood burner with brick surround and hearth. The study has a window to the front, a feature red brick wall and studwork plus cupboard below the stairs. The dining room has double glazed French doors opening to the front, Karndean-style flooring and door to the adjacent kitchen/breakfast room. This is of good proportion with windows to each side, door to the stairs providing access to the first floor and a further door leading on to the side hall. It has a range of base units with cupboards and drawers, quarry-tiled work tops over, inset sink, traditional pantry, plumbing for a washing machine and painted tiled floor. The side hall has a quarry tiled floor, door providing access to the front and rear garden plus doors to the cloakroom and garage. The cloakroom has a window to the rear, WC, basin and quarry tiled floor.

There are two landings, the first one has a window to the side and rear plus doors off. Bedroom one has a window to the side and a door to the adjacent bedroom which has windows to two aspects and leads to the second landing. The interconnecting door between bedrooms one and two could obviously be removed with access to all bedrooms then provided by dual staircases.

There are two further bedrooms, one with a window to the front and the other with a window to the side and a cupboard housing access to the loft. The bathroom has a window to the side and a modern white suite of bath with tiled surround and shower over, basin with cupboards below and WC.

Outside
The property occupies a good size plot with the property predominantly sitting to the right and the rear. The front garden is laid to lawn enclosed by hedging and low brick walls. It has mature trees and a driveway which provides parking for many vehicles. This in turn leads to an attached garage/workshop measuring 26'10 x 16'10 max of timber and block construction with power and light. The previous owners had planning permission granted to convert this space to further living accommodation.

To the rear is a stone pathway and storage area, all enclosed by hedging. There is also a stone courtyard lying adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room which is enclosed by hedging to one end of which is an attached brick and tiled store which could, subject to planning permission, be converted to an additional bathroom accessed from the dining room.
