EPC rating B.


Built approx. 10 years ago, Monument View offers a balance of character from the Blue Lias stone with all the benefits of modern living. Maintained to a high standard by the current owners, the property has been upgraded to include replacement double glazing units and doors, air-source heating, new fencing, garden improvements and solar panels with battery storage.

A door to the front of the property opens into a light, airy and welcoming central hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first-floor accommodation and a storage cupboard beneath.

To the left of the hall is the kitchen/dining room, which is an excellent size and has been tastefully fitted with a range of contemporary floor and wall units with solid wood work surfaces. In addition, the kitchen includes a large island with contrasting granite top and breakfast bar, as well as a further double cupboard in one corner. Integrated within the kitchen is a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, plus an electric Rangemaster cooker is included within the sale. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, with a further sink unit and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is external access from the utility room to the side of the property and an inner door through to a separate WC, with wash hand basin. The sitting room is generous and bright, benefiting from a dual aspect and a set of double glazed sliding doors to the patio seating area at the side. This comfortable reception room offers a central fireplace with an inset wood burning stove, providing a delightful focal point. The hall then continues to give access to a dining room, which could be utilised as a fifth bedroom or a home office if required. There are two bedrooms located on the ground floor, both of which are superb double rooms and one with a modern en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation downstairs is a smartly presented family bathroom fitted with a traditional-style white suite comprising a panelled bath, a pedestal wash hand basin and a low-level WC.

The ground floor is served by underfloor heating from the air-source heat pump, with rooms individually controlled. The heating on the first floor is via radiators.

Upstairs, a landing with skylight window leads to two further double bedrooms, both of which have the advantage of en-suite facilities and fitted wardrobes, with access to extra roof storage within the eaves. The principal en-suite is very spacious, comprising a walk-in shower, a freestanding roll-top bath, a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a heated towel rail.
