DESCRIPTION: A very rare chance to purchase an attractive detached 5 bedroomed semi-rural village property, which has been extensively and very tastefully refurbished and upgraded throughout and also benefits from approximately 4 acres of grazing meadows and wonderful far reaching panoramic rural views beyond to the south.

This property also has amazing potential to enlarge further if required, subject to planning, as it already has a lapsed planning for a large rear extension to the first floor, that is probably quite easy to reinstate with a fresh planning application.

However, the existing accommodation is already quite generous, with a main reception hall, as well as a further side entrance hall and a rear entrance hall. Furthermore, the 5 bedrooms are all good sizes, with two double bedrooms to the ground floor that are serviced by a luxury bathroom / shower room and to the first floor three further bedrooms and an additional luxury family shower room. The ground floor also has two cloakrooms, a feature large sitting room, a bespoke luxury kitchen / breakfast room and an adjoining open plan dining room. Complimenting the kitchen, is a separate utility room / laundry room.

There is a large detached wooden garage with workshop to the rear, which could be possibly relocated and replaced with a heritage style garage subject to planning.

The approximately 4 acres of grazing meadows also including some ancient woodland, allows for either equestrian use, small holding use as well as continued recreational enjoyment of nature.

These properties very rarely come to the market so close to amenities and at the same time adjoining the countryside, especially in such good condition and with potential to enlarge further etc.
