Interior Highlights

Condition: Having been cleared and cleaned to create a move-in ready environment, this home offers a fantastic blank canvas. While the property is immediately habitable and benefits from double-glazed windows throughout, the deceptively spacious rooms offer an ideal opportunity for modernization. Both the kitchen and bathroom suites would benefit from updating, allowing the new owner to tailor the finishes to their personal taste while adding significant value to this versatile home.

Living Space: A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the ground floor, leading first to a 17ft reception room. This versatile space features a large bay window and a focal fireplace with an inset Rayburn, which provides a practical backup heated water supply. This room is ideally suited for use as a casual family or dining area, conveniently adjoining the kitchen. On the opposite side of the hallway, you'll find a second 17ft reception room, serving as a bright and airy living room. This space is anchored by a bay window and a decorative fireplace surround with an inset log burner, perfect for cozy evenings. Double sliding doors open from the living room into a third reception space. With its tranquil outlook, this room is perfectly positioned for use as a home office, offering inspiring, scenic views over the expansive private gardens.

Kitchen: The kitchen is currently fitted with a practical range of storage units, complemented by laminate work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. Features include a double-bowl stainless steel sink, an electric point for a freestanding oven/hob, and dedicated undercounter space for a fridge and freezer. A traditional larder cupboard provides additional storage, while plumbing is already in place for a washing machine. Annexed to the kitchen is a part-brick and UPVC porch, which offers excellent versatility. This space could easily function as a dedicated utility area, freeing up floor space within the kitchen and enhancing the home's practical flow.

Bedrooms: The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully configured to include three generous doubles and a versatile single. Each room offers a comfortable layout, ensuring ample space for family living or guest accommodation.

Washrooms: Prioritizing convenience and future potential, the property features a part-tiled first-floor bathroom equipped with a standard suite including a bath, sink, and WC. On the ground floor, an external WC offers excellent scope for reconfiguration; with minor structural adjustments, it could be integrated into the main house to provide an accessible internal cloakroom.

Exterior & Grounds

Garden: To the front of the property, a well-maintained lawn accented by mature shrubs separates two private driveways. The substantial rear garden is a true highlight, thoughtfully divided into three distinct sections to offer a variety of outdoor experiences. Closest to the home, a sprawling lawn is framed by mature trees and established shrub borders, also hosting a selection of timber storage sheds and summerhouses. Beyond this, a row of conifer trees provides a natural screen for a secondary area previously utilized as allotments, perfect for those seeking a "grow-your-own" lifestyle. The garden concludes with a charming, wooded orchard featuring fruit trees. This natural haven becomes a vibrant sea of bluebells and daffodils during the spring, all while enjoying breathtaking, far-reaching views over the surrounding open countryside.

Parking: The property features extensive parking and outbuildings distributed across two separate entrances. To one side, a driveway with space for two vehicles leads to a double-length garage, which presents an excellent opportunity for conversion and integration into the main living space, subject to the necessary consents. On the opposite side, an additional driveway provides substantial off-road parking for a further five vehicles, leading past the home to a detached single garage. This arrangement offers exceptional convenience for multi-car households or those requiring ample space for guests and storage.
