Description
The Dwelling - This charming detached three-bedroom home enjoys a picturesque setting, backing onto the stunning Blackmore Vale countryside. Thoughtfully extended over two storeys, the property has been transformed from a smaller cottage into a spacious and versatile family home. The well-designed ground floor offers generous and flexible living accommodation, while the first floor features three well-appointed bedrooms, providing comfort and practicality in an idyllic village.
Accommodation - The ground floor is accessed via an entrance hall, which leads to a cloakroom. To the left, the spacious living room boasts charming character features, including window seats, dual-aspect windows and a large inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burner. From the living room, an opening leads into the versatile playroom/dining room, offering flexible use. The kitchen, designed to cater to all culinary needs, is accessed from the living room and enjoys stunning views over the neighbouring countryside. It is well-equipped with integrated appliances, offers ample space for dining furniture, and leads to a porch providing direct access to the garden.
The first floor features three well-appointed bedrooms, with the master bedroom offering generous accommodation and stunning views. The family bathroom is also located on this level and houses the airing cupboard.
Garden - Enjoying a southerly position, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging on one side, offering a private outdoor space. A stone lean-to within the garden provides additional storage, benefiting from power, and is currently used by the vendors for white goods. Two patio areas are thoughtfully positioned to enjoy sunlight throughout the day, with an elevated patio at the rear capturing the evening sun and showcasing beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside.
The driveway, owned by the property, provides ample parking for several cars. A gateway located at the rear of the driveway must remain clear at all times to allow access for the neighbouring landowner.
