Step Inside

Walking in through the front door, the generous hallway greets you with an ambient temperature from the underfloor heating which is fitted throughout the house. The wood effect porcelain tiles are stylish and practical.  There is also an under stairs storage cupboard and a cloakroom.  Walking into the kitchen, you are immediately struck by the stylish design and high quality of the Quartz worktops, cabinetry and flooring. There are two fitted ovens, a double hob, a wine fridge, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave.  The utility space houses the laundry appliances and offers plenty more storage. With light streaming in from the garden through aluminium bi-folding doors, the dining area also benefits from a large roof light and an extra window to the side.  This area will fit a large table and is absolutely perfect for those who prefer open plan living where the kitchen diner is very much the heart of the home.

Moving back through the hallway, the room overlooking the front of the house is a versatile space and could be used as a study, a TV snug or playroom. The lounge is located to enjoy views of the patio and rear garden through bi-folding doors.  There is a fireplace with flue fitted in the chimney, ready for the new owner to install a wood burner of their choice.  With built in audio speakers in every room downstairs, this is a great house for entertaining family and friends.

Moving upstairs, the generous and light-filled landing leads you to four double bedrooms; with both the master and second bedroom overlooking the garden with en suite shower rooms.  The other two bedrooms at the front of the house share a stunning family bathroom which is stylishly fitted with double shower and bath and laid with Karndean flooring.

Step Outside

The approach to Runnels House is a charming country lane which leads you into a small, secluded community of around a dozen houses.  With space to park at 3 or 4 cars and a double garage, there is more than enough room for visiting friends and family to park.  The garage has a fantastic room above which is fully insulated, has a fitted radiator, light and power, so perfect to use as a work space or just excellent storage.  Moving around the side of the house, there is access to the manageable south facing garden via a side gate, leading you to the sunny patio and lawn.  The garden is fully fenced and the useful shed has light and a 13 amp electric socket for charging your power tools or mower.  This lovely outside space is the perfect blank canvas for new owners to add their own personality with planting and landscaping, and to sit and enjoy the fresh country air.
