The ENTRANCE PORCH has multi-pane glazed double doors and a further internal door leads into the open and bright RECEPTION HALL.   From here, wooden flooring  connects the whole house;  with the main living areas to the front, and the bedrooms along the back. For ease of use, the current owners actually use the rear gated entrance that leads directly into the kitchen.

Upon entering the reception hall, immediately to your left is the DINING ROOM with a double glazed window to the front and plenty of space for a large dining table and extra furniture.  

From the dining room, there is a shallow step up through a double size opening to the LIVING ROOM.  The attractive feature brick chimney breast with inset log burner provides a focal point and extends to one side with inset log storage and a wood mantle over. This is a bright room with a large double glazed window to the front and double glass doors to the side that lead to the SUN LOUNGE .  There is a brick base with double glazed surround and tiled flooring. This room is currently used as an EXERCISE ROOM with views over the garden but it would be easy to imagine as an extra living room or a garden room with double doors at both corners leading to the wrap-around gardens. 

Returning to the reception hall and opposite the dining room is the door into the BREAKFAST ROOM that has tiled flooring. There is a double glazed window to the front and it also provides a useful walk-in storage cupboard.  An archway leads you through into the kitchen.

On the right hand side there's a further door leading to a UTILITY ROOM. This provides convenient access with a stable door into the front garden and allows for a changing area when heading to the garden or paddocks.  There is plumbing for the washing machine, stainless steel sink and drainer unit, base and eye level storage units and a floor standing oil fired boiler.  

A concertina door leads to a CLOAKROOM with low-level flush WC wash hand basin and window to the front. 

The KITCHEN is of an excellent size and enjoys views across the garden and paddocks. It has a dual aspect with a window overlooking the side driveway and a window overlooking the rear patio. There is also a stable door leading onto the patio, which my clients use as their main entrance.  There is ample roll top work surface with inset Belfast sink with mixer taps, tiled splashbacks and a range of base and eye level storage units,  a fitted fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The Aga is set within a brick alcove and offers five ovens and two heating plates.  

The large PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys views over the paddocks and the fields beyond as well as providing full width fitted wardrobes.  The ENSUITE is a great size for an ensuite and has a low level flush WC, a wash hand basin, a double shower unit with rain forest drencher, and is fully tiled surround.

The SECOND BEDROOM is of good size and again enjoys open views across the rear garden and paddocks

BEDROOM THREE is currently used as a TV room with a double glazed window to the rear .

There is a large family BATHROOM,  comprising a three-piece suite with a corner bath, a low-level flush WC, a wash hand basin, a double window to the side, tiled surround, and tiled flooring.

OUTSIDE

It is easy to drive by and not really notice the property as it is set back off the road and with mature hedging it offers seclusion and privacy from passing traffic.  Its proximity to major roads offers quick and easy access to travel, which is ideal if transporting horses.

Behind the front hedge is a lawn area which wraps around to the side with fencing and mature conifers to the side boundary.  The driveway provides ample off road parking and turning space and leads down to the garaging and stables. The front and rear garden has a fence boundary, ideal for those with children or dogs.

There are approximately 7 ACRES of land split into four paddocks with post and rail fencing and a further  turn-out area. There are two separate STABLE BLOCKS providing six stables in total with power and light and water feeders, two tack rooms and a large storage barn with side lean-to.

STABLES

The first block of stables is a breeze block construction with pitch roof. There are two stables with stable doors and light and power with water feeder, window to the front and then there is a side tack room with electric light and power.

There is a concrete drive from the main driveway that gives access to the stables and yard with a five bar gate and post and rail fencing making it secure.  There are L-shaped stables of timber construction with an overhang comprising four stables and tack room. All the stables have concrete flooring, water feeders, electric lights, and a rear viewing window onto the paddocks

Behind the paddocks is an enclosed area with covered storage. Ideal for hay or straw and then there's a timber and breeze block constructed storage barn with pitch roof and electric light and power with sliding doors to the front. There is an additional covered overhang with a five bar gate leading out onto the paddocks.

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS:

By appointment only.  Call or text during or after office hours and QUOTE GH0600

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR:

Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance.

Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange a normal viewing at a later date or after office hours.  

HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL:

If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you. Please call me and  QUOTE GH0600 for a free, confidential valuation and marketing review with no obligation.
