Description

Property Description: Guide Price: £425,000 - £475,000. Combining period charm with modern comforts, this attractive and well maintained Grade II listed property makes an ideal setting for relaxed family living and entertaining. Originally part of the former Mill Masters House and tucked away in a secluded location, the property is approached via a gated entrance and gravel driveway, with stone walls and hedging enhancing the privacy.

Stepping into the property via a side entrance, the hall has space for coat and boot storage. An internal glazed door leads into a good sized sitting room with two traditional sash windows with deep sills to the front, wood flooring and a feature stone fireplace complete with a wood burner.

From the sitting room, a second hallway leads to the kitchen/dining room. The elegant shaker style kitchen with quartz worktops, tiled floor and exposed brick walls has ample space for a large dining table and chairs for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with a butler sink and integrated appliances including an AEG double oven and Hotpoint dishwasher, gas hob, a built in Kenwood American style fridge freezer and a separate wine cooler. Fitted with a range of cupboard styles for functional storage there is also space for a large freestanding dresser.

A separate utility room accessed off the kitchen is fitted with shaker cabinetry and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing with skylight leads to the principal bedroom, with space for a triple wardrobe and chest of drawers, and a window overlooking the garden. There are two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all are neutrally decorated and fitted with elegant radiator covers. The beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a luxurious freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower, is a relaxing retreat at the end of the day.

Outside: The rear garden is accessed via a traditional stable door on the upper floor and has been thoughtfully landscaped as a low maintenance outdoor living space with a paved terrace and artificial lawn, perfect for summer alfresco dining or simply unwinding at the end of the day. A substantial timber summerhouse completes the garden with space to relax or as useful storage during the winter months. At the front, the gravel driveway is shared with the neighbouring property with parking for three vehicles and a detached stone-built garage with power and light has additional storage and workshop potential.

Combining character, comfort and excellent entertaining space both inside and out, this attractive home is perfectly suited to modern family living or a quite retreat with space to entertain friends and family.
