Description
A welcoming entrance hall, with side window for natural light, provides access to the main hall, with stairs leading to the first floor. As one would expect in property of this size, there is a ground floor WC off the entrance hall which has usefully been equipped with a shower cubicle, ideal for busy family life.
Located to the front of the property, the living room is a spacious and inviting room. The main focal point is a delightful wood burner with oak mantel over, ideal for family gatherings or cosy quiet evenings. The room also has a large window that brings in plenty of natural light. The length of the frontage and the strategic landscaping create a highly private room.
Well-equipped and designed for family life, the kitchen offers ample workspace and storage. Whilst boasting an informal breakfast bar seating arrangement with exceptional views, it also seamlessly connects to the dining room, making it ideal for sociable family meals.
Adjoining the kitchen, this spacious dining area is another naturally light area of the house, with patio doors to the rear and a large side window. Perfect for entertaining, with views over the rear garden to enjoy while dining and a flow which connects it back to the main hall.
Conveniently positioned near the kitchen, the utility room provides practical space for laundry and additional storage. However, this room is large and could be transformed to create a further reception room, moving units and utilities into the garage if that was a better option for future buyers.
Overlooking the rear garden, this bright and airy conservatory is a tranquil spot to relax and take in the garden views, whatever the weather.
There is also an extended garage offering substantial space for parking, additional storage, or use as a workshop. However, again, for those looking to maximise the potential of this home, subject to the required consents, the
Kitchen could be extended into this space to create a more open plan family kitchen , whilst also keeping a formal dining room or second reception room.
To the first floor, the landing area gives access to the insulated loft space via a large hatch. Usefully, the loft space is equipped with a light, fixed ladder, larger than average hatch and is also fully boarded for convenience. The roof was also fully replaced in September 2017 and has the benefit of 4KW Solar PV System which currently generates approximately 3200KWh/year. The vendors report that this results in an annual/tax free income (index linked) of £2400/year (for the next 13 Years) and electricity savings of circa £320/year. The current vendor reports total earnings/savings = £2720 per year.

Bedroom 4 is a well-sized room that could serve as a child’s bedroom, study, or playroom.
Bedroom 5, currently used as an office, is located to the rear of the property so also enjoys attractive views to the rear. Given its position between the principal bedroom and the main bathroom, this space could also be adapted to provide an en-suite and additional storage to the main bedroom.
The house bathroom is larger than average and is equipped with a walk-in shower, statement free standing bath, low level WC, bidet and large sink in a luxurious wooden vanity. The flooring is laid with high quality laminate, ideal for this area of the home.
