Accommodation

The front door is positioned beneath an open porch at the side of the property and opens into a spacious entrance hall, immediately setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the home. Positioned on the ground floor are all three double bedrooms along with the family bathroom. Bedroom three is a particularly quirky-shaped room featuring double doors leading directly out onto a patio section of the rear garden, while also benefitting from a generous fitted wardrobe. Adjacent is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. A useful understairs storage cupboard is positioned beneath the staircase rising to the first floor. The second bedroom is another generous double room enjoying a pleasant dual aspect and further benefitting from an additional large walk in wardrobe. Completing the downstairs accommodation is the principal bedroom, which is a particularly spacious room with a window overlooking the front aspect and an en-suite fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, enclosed shower cubicle and heated chrome towel rail with stained glass porthole window.

Heading upstairs, a spacious open landing area provides access to the main living accommodation and also features another large built-in storage/airing cupboard. Positioned at the front of the property is an impressive sitting room spanning almost 27 feet in length and enjoying a bright dual aspect, including a feature bay window to the front. An electric fireplace creates an attractive focal point, while the size and layout of the room allows for several versatile uses, with the current arrangement incorporating a cosy seating area alongside additional space suitable for a dining area, study space or children’s play area. Also accessed from the landing is a handy cloakroom fitted with a WC and wash hand basin. The quirky-shaped kitchen is fitted with a wide range of cupboards and drawers set amongst ample work surface areas, with a window to the rear enjoying pleasant views across nearby countryside. There is a stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer positioned beneath the window, while built-in appliances include an electric oven with gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over. Additional space is available for further white goods including a freestanding fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Completing the upstairs accommodation is a second spacious reception room, currently serving as the dining room, positioned above the covered driveway area. This bright dual-aspect space offers excellent versatility and could potentially be opened up into the kitchen, subject to any necessary consents, creating a more contemporary open-plan arrangement if desired.

Outside & parking

To the front of the property, a gated driveway runs alongside the home and stretches towards the rear garden and detached double garage, providing parking for numerous vehicles. The front garden is attractively presented with a brick wall border alongside neatly laid shingle for ease of maintenance.

A small patio adjoins bedroom three, with steps leading onto the driveway and rear garden beyond. The detached double garage is accessed via a traditional up-and-over door and benefits from power and lighting, fitted storage units and a rear access door leading onto an additional patio area behind. This space would make an ideal workshop, hobby space or useful additional storage area, or even an annexe for a dependent relative, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

The rear garden is a truly standout feature of the property and an exceptional rarity for this particular location and only adds to the unique style of home. Predominantly laid to neat lawn, the garden is beautifully established with a wide variety of mature shrubs, colourful planting and small fruit trees, all enclosed by attractive brick wall borders. A generous patio creates a wonderful suntrap and an ideal space for outdoor dining or entertaining, while the extensive lawn offers fantastic potential for families and children. A useful storage shed is positioned at the far end of the garden, completing this wonderfully unique outdoor space.
