Walkthrough - From the front door of the property the picturesque village of Broadhembury is all around you with the ancient village church visible at the top of the road past the welcoming Drewe Arms pub. The front door opens into a hall with stairs to the first floor to the immediate right and doors through to the kitchen (ahead) and living room (to the right) with the newly added dining room accessed beyond both these rooms.

The kitchen is newly fitted, stylish and modern with engineered oak floors, a fitted double oven, an induction hob and ample worksurface space and storage. To the right there is a second work area with quartz worksurfaces with an in-built sink. The kitchen opens out into the dining room benefitting from views into the garden through full height windows and glazed double doors.

The living room is a wonderfully well-lit room with plenty of natural light from both sides with quadruple windows to the front and bifold doors to the rear allowing in light from the garden. A recently installed log burner makes it a cosy heart to the house. Heading through the bifold doors leads to the newly added dining room extension.

The dining room is a beautifully well-lit room, which has the same engineered oak floors as the kitchen and features a wall of full-height windows and double doors that open to the garden. Adjacent to the living room is a newly reconfigured utility room which offers additional sink and downstairs WC as well as further storage and worksurfaces.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, two with views over the garden and one looking out over the village’s thatched buildings. There is also a family bathroom, with a bath and shower. Outside, the garden is a good-size with a south-facing lawn and planting beds. To the rear, views open out onto adjacent farmland and there is a brick out-house. The garden can also be accessed via side access to the left of the property from the road.

The property is on mains electricity, water and drainage and has oil-fired central heating.
