This well-presented period property is deceptively spacious and incredibly versatile – it’s perfect for a larger family and is well-suited to modern family life.  Stepping into the wide and stylish entrance hall, which is filled with natural light and decorated in a fresh and neutral scheme, the property instantly strikes you as a lovely family home.

Downstairs, there is an incredible amount of space.  Starting off in the 25’ sitting/dining room, it’s a well-proportioned room which benefits from large, dual-aspect windows that make it feel bright and airy.  The sitting room is an elegant space that’s ideal for relaxing after a busy day.  The fireplace adds character and is perfect for cosying up in front of on a winter’s evening.  With plenty of space to add a couple of comfy sofas as well as other furniture, it’s a lovely room for spending time with family and friends.  The dining room is conveniently located next to the kitchen and has plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for both relaxed family meals and entertaining friends.

The modern kitchen is spacious and features pistachio-green shaker-style cabinetry with contrasting sleek black work surfaces, white tiled splashbacks and LED lighting.  Integrated appliances include an electric oven, gas hob with stainless steel and glass wall-mounted hood, Neff dishwasher and there is space for a fridge-freezer.  A breakfast bar provides the perfect spot to enjoy an early-morning cup of coffee or perhaps an evening glass of wine.  Although there is plenty of storage, a large walk-in pantry and larder cupboard provide additional space.  It’s a highly practical kitchen for a busy household.  Leading off the kitchen are a handy utility, cloakroom and heated drying cupboard.

Beyond the kitchen is another spacious hallway which leads to the rear porch, office and family room.  The family room is spacious and highly versatile – it makes a great informal space for relaxing but could be used for a number of alternative uses – perhaps a playroom, games room, studio or even a second home office.  The current office is another flexible room that is a good size and perfectly suited to working from home. 

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with its size.  On the first floor are five neutrally-decorated bedrooms – four similarly-sized doubles and a single which is currently used as a second office.  The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room with vanity unit and chrome heated towel radiator, and one of the other double bedrooms features a built-in wardrobe.  All the bedrooms feel light, airy and well-proportioned – each a lovely space to relax and unwind at the end of the day.  The family bathroom is spacious and features a peacock green vanity unit, modern white sanitaryware, full-height heated chrome towel radiator and separate shower and bath. The family bathroom also benefits from underfloor heating.

A second set of stairs leads up to two connected loft rooms with under-eaves storage.  This huge space has far-reaching views and presents a great opportunity for further living space – it would make a fantastic den for teenagers, games room or playroom.

Outside, there is a gravelled driveway - providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles - which leads to a long garage at the rear.  Original brick outbuildings include a shed and outside WC.  The walled garden features a lawned area as well as a patio and barbeque area, which is perfect for summer entertaining.

If you’re searching for a practical and spacious family home with a fantastic amount of versatile living space, this well-presented property is well worth a viewing and is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
