Welcome home to the beautiful Sandford Fold...

From here, a neatly presented ground floor WC sits discreetly to one side, complete with wood framed window, pedestal wash basin, low flush WC and radiator.

The hallway also provides access to the staircase rising to the first floor and allows for easy movement throughout the ground level.

A key feature of the home is the way in which the reception spaces connect, creating a natural flow that works beautifully for both family living and social occasions. Thoughtful use has been made of the space beneath the stairs, where double shelved cupboards and a recessed area offer excellent storage for coats and boots, or alternatively a compact and practical home working nook.

The principal lounge is a particularly impressive room, generous in scale and flooded with natural light from windows on three elevations. This is a genuinely versatile family space, easily accommodating multiple seating arrangements centred around an oak fire surround with LPG gas fired fire. Despite its size, the room retains a warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by timber window frames and the abundance of daylight throughout the day.

From the lounge, double doors open into the dining room, where ceiling coving adds a subtle sense of elegance and sliding patio doors lead directly out to the garden. The orientation of the property allows the garden to enjoy sun from west, south and south west aspects, creating a bright and appealing outdoor setting that works perfectly for al fresco dining and relaxation.

The kitchen is a substantial and flexible space, currently arranged as a kitchen diner yet offering clear potential to evolve into a contemporary living kitchen if desired. Cushioned vinyl flooring pairs with a charming country style kitchen, finished in cream units with coffee and mocha toned tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a range style oven with hob, while generous work surfaces provide excellent preparation space. There is ample room to introduce a central island and additional seating, allowing this space to become the true heart of the home.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well appointed utility room, fitted with a stainless steel sink, plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer, and a useful pantry style storage cupboard. This area also houses the recently installed Worcester boiler and offers direct internal access to the garage. The garage itself benefits from an electric roller door, a rear access door to the garden complete with cat flap, loft storage above and additional built in space ideal for workshop use or further storage.

Moving to the first floor, a spacious and light filled landing enjoys a window overlooking the garden and provides access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. A useful storage cupboard and loft access add further practicality to this level.

The principal bedroom is an impressive and peaceful retreat, enjoying dual aspect windows with south east and north east orientations that allow natural light to flow in throughout the morning and day.

Bedroom three is also a well proportioned double, again enjoying a south west facing outlook and excellent natural light, making it ideal as a guest room or additional principal bedroom. The fourth bedroom, currently arranged as a child’s room, is the smallest of the four yet remains a comfortable and versatile space. With a north east facing window, it enjoys good daytime light while remaining naturally cooler and darker in the evenings, making it equally well suited as a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom is smartly presented, featuring a slate effect tiled floor and blue tiled walls with decorative detailing. The suite includes a shower enclosure with electric shower, pedestal wash basin and low flush WC, with tiling extending to three quarter height to provide a practical and well finished space.
