HEART OF THE HOME

At the centre of the property lies the lounge / dining room bathed in natural light from two sets of bi-fold doors (south and east facing) in addition to a further set of sliding patio doors. There's space for a large dining table, making this an ideal spot for sizeable gatherings or leisurely family meals, while the adjoining sitting area enjoys uninterrupted views of the garden and fields beyond. On warmer days, throw open the bi-fold doors and extend your living space out to the terraces - perfect for summer entertaining.

Adjacent to the dining area is the kitchen with range style cooker and accompanying hood, integrated undercounter fridge and integrated dishwasher. Ample storage is provided by a good array of cupboards and drawers. The utility room provides further workspace and storage and the vendors have said that the free standing American fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer will all remain with the property once sold.

To the front of the property there is a cosy sitting room with bay window and an electric log burner set within the fireplace. A large open fireplace and chimney could be opened up if required.

There is a spacious study with room for two desks. The cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
