THE PROPERTY
Tucked away at the end of a private no-through drive, this attractive stone-built home beneath a classic slate roof forms part of an exclusive trio of properties, thoughtfully arranged to maximise privacy while maintaining a welcoming sense of community. Combining traditional character with practical family living, the property offers generous, flexible accommodation suited to modern lifestyles.

The home is entered via a welcoming porch leading into a bright entrance hall with useful understairs storage alongside a conveniently located cloakroom WC. The living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light while double patio doors open onto the rear patio, creating an ideal indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining. A striking full-height stone chimney breast serves as a focal point, incorporating a gas-burning stove with built-in low-level pine cupboards that enhance the property’s traditional character. The dining room comfortably accommodates a large table and opens onto the patio, making it well suited to everyday family meals or formal entertaining.

The kitchen is designed in a traditional farmhouse style, fitted with real wood larder-style cupboards and base units topped with marble-effect work surfaces, complemented by an inset dark acrylic sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a ceramic hob with undercounter electric oven and concealed extractor hood, while stone-ceramic tiled flooring and triple-aspect windows provide both practicality and excellent natural light. From the kitchen, a door leads to a useful utility room with an additional sink, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and direct access to the garden, creating a highly functional space for laundry and household tasks.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first-floor landing, where a front aspect window offers views towards Colmers Hill alongside a useful airing cupboard for additional linen storage. Bedroom Two is the largest of the bedrooms, enjoying both front and rear aspect windows as well as a triple wardrobe, and offers versatility to be divided into two rooms subject to consents. Bedroom Three, currently arranged as a home office or study, features a triple wardrobe. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden with two rear aspect windows, a four-door wardrobe, and additional alcove storage, while an ensuite shower room is fitted with a shower enclosure, ceramic wall tiling, and a pine combination vanity unit incorporating a hand wash basin and WC.

The family bathroom includes a curved shower bath with wall-mounted shower and glass screen, paired with a shaker-style vanity unit offering storage and a wall-mounted towel rail. White ceramic tiling with complementary accent tiles around the bath completes the room.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the tiered garden has been designed to be low maintenance, featuring a large expanse of lawn and a substantial south-facing patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The space enjoys attractive views towards Colmers Hill, with established hedging providing a good degree of privacy, along with a wooden storage shed and raised vegetable beds. A double garage equipped with plumbing and electrics includes rear access to the garden, while the driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.
