Description


A fantastic opportunity for someone to get themselves on the housing ladder at an affordable price and still have the benefit of having a 40% share in this wonderful home. The property is situated in a cul de sac location with a rear garden that backs directly onto open fields, and although the house was only built in 2016 it has since been improved upon by the current owner. The living accommodation is very tastefully presented and comprises on the ground floor a welcoming entrance hall, a contemporary shower room, a superb fitted kitchen and a sitting/dining room with French door leading to the garden. On the first floor there are two true double bedrooms, the main bedroom having fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary bathroom. Other features include a gas central heating system, PVCu double glazing and the added benefit of solar panels at the rear. Outside there is a small front garden and a delightful fully enclosed rear garden, complete with paved and timber decked patio areas from which to enjoy the countryside views. There is also a large garden workshop that could easily be adapted to use as a home office/studio. The property also boasts a drive at the side allowing off street parking for two cars. This really is a superb home in a very well regarded village that is sure to create a lot of interest, therefore an early internal viewing is highly recommended.
