Property

The gated driveway is largely gravelled and with space to comfortably park 4+ full sized vehicles. There’s a good double garage with pedestrian door at the back, up and over door front.

The house itself has steps up to a curved front terrace, flagged and with a low wall bordering.

The front door opens into a large vestibule, with plenty of room for boots, coats and sports kit, keeping this all away from the main house. From the vestibule, a semi open plan kitchen/diner/hall is bright and remarkably spacious with good flow.

The kitchen is tiled, has plenty of storage and a mini breakfast/serving bar. The dining room has wooden flooring, room for a table to seat 12+ and a side door onto the patio and back garden.

From the hall is access to the understairs cupboard, downstairs shower room/WC, a double bedroom with built in wardrobes and the downstairs snug/home office.

From the vestibule is another double bedroom with extensive built-in shelving, another shower room/WC and an annexe kitchen/dining room with its own front & back doors.

Upstairs is a generous landing with a feature chandelier, glass bricks bringing light to and from the upstairs sitting room and French doors onto the back garden and patio.

The sitting room is large, spacious, with access to the covered balcony – with stunning views – and the conservatory.

Through the sitting room is a suite of rooms – perhaps configured as two modest bedrooms with a shared dressing/reading room and WC. The two rooms at the front have fabulous views over fields.

The principal bedroom is a good double with view over the garden and a large ensuite bathroom. Separate spa bath and walk-in shower.

The back garden is terraced, with a patio area adjacent the house. Mature hedging to the boundaries. There are numerous mature shrubs and specimen trees. The total area of the plot is approx. 0.36 acres.

There is an in-ground swimming pool, currently empty.
