Find Out A Little More .... - This handsome double-fronted home, constructed of London yellow stock brick beneath a slate roof and enhanced by decorative bargeboards, is set back from the village street behind a generous front garden. During an extensive programme of renovation, a wealth of period features has been carefully preserved, including decorative plasterwork, deep skirting boards, fireplaces (now capped), panelled doors with brass handles, sash windows, and an elegant staircase with a polished handrail. A rear extension, built in sympathetic heritage brick, has created a superb contemporary living space, enjoying a westerly aspect across the garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, complemented by column radiators.

A classic central hallway is flanked by two front reception rooms, both featuring bay windows. One of these rooms - the family room - forms part of a larger open-plan arrangement, incorporating a dining area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast/living space. Natural oak luxury vinyl flooring extends throughout, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion between the rooms.

The kitchen is fitted with an island unit with breakfast bar, quartz worktops, a Belling electric range cooker with a built-in AirFry function and integrated Boch fridge freezer and Miele dishwasher. The adjacent utility room, also fitted with quartz worktops, holds the air source cabinet and provides space for a washer and dryer. A wall of Crittal windows faces west across the garden with doors opening onto the terrace.

The central landing, bathed in light from a tall sash window gives access to three double bedrooms and a Jack & Jill bathroom. Bedroom 2 with its wonderful garden views accesses this bathroom via a discreet sliding pocket door. The principal bedroom also enjoys a lovely aspect and comes with a large en suite bathroom elegantly fitted with a contemporary freestanding bath tub with a freestanding brass tap, a walk-in shower, a heated towel rail and a vanity unit with Corian counter top incorporating twin basins.

Outside - The house is set back behind a low stone wall with saddleback coping stones. Lawns, edged with colourful borders, flank a gravel path leading to the front door, while mature laurel trees line the boundary.

To the rear, a generous porcelain-tiled terrace spans the width of the kitchen/dining/living space, enhanced by a planted border and sheltered by a low raised bed. A gravel path runs alongside a row of laurel trees set against a high timber fence and follows the lawn to the outbuildings. An external tap is also provided.

Traditional brick and pantile outbuildings sit along the northern boundary, opening southwards onto the garden. The open barn, with its brick floor, offers excellent potential for use as an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area. In addition, there are two secure stores and a workshop - one featuring a stable door - all connected to both water and electricity.

At the far end of the garden, a gate provides access to two private parking spaces, approached from North Cave Road.
