Description
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect drawing room with a feature fireplace. Adjoining this space is a study/office enjoying a pleasant outlook. The entrance hall also leads to a cosy family room/snug, which in turn connects to the kitchen.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining. To the rear of the house are a cloakroom/WC, utility room, and a further ground floor room currently used as a bedroom, but equally well suited as an additional study or home office.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two of which enjoy views to both the front and rear. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, and there is also a well-appointed family bath/shower room. The guest bedroom enjoys particularly delightful views over the village duck pond.
Outside
The property is elevated and set back from Woodlands End, enjoying attractive views towards the village duck pond. A large driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with an electric up-and-over door. The front garden features well-stocked raised flowerbeds and an established hedgerow offering a good degree of privacy. Gated access on either side of the property leads to the rear garden.
The rear garden is private and enclosed, with a paved terrace immediately to the rear of the house — ideal for outdoor dining — leading up to a generous lawn, vegetable beds, and a timber summer house. The established garden provides an excellent opportunity for keen gardeners to create something truly special. A practical workshop/potting shed offers useful additional storage or workspace.
