It is sure to appeal to those discerning purchasers who want space, character, privacy and convenience to the village amenities. This attractive and highly distinctive detached residence offers double glazing, gas fired heating and has pleasing part rendered and part exposed stone elevations with a mature grapevine growing profusely over the front. This lovely vine produces a sweet dessert grape.

There are 3 points of entering the property but the main reception hall, with a heavy wood front door, is a fitting statement to what lies beyond. Here, there is extensive storage a stone stairs to the first floor, to the bottom of which is a large cloakroom. The magnificent interconnecting sitting room & dining room have a quiet, calming air with wood flooring and painted beam ceilings. The bay window in the sitting room provides depth and light. There is an inglenook fireplace with bread oven and inset gas log effect fire and beam over.

The wonderful kitchen/ breakfast/ family room is the hub of the house with underfloor heating and a feature stained glass window. This vaulted room has attractive part exposed stone wall features and 'A' frame ceiling. It is overlooked by the mezzanine which hugely adds to its spacious feel. This room is ideal for a huge tree at Christmas. From here is a very useful utility room with a dorr to the rear garden and also has underfloor heating.

To the first floor, the main bedroom is slightly split level with a bay window and an en suite Shower room and searate dressing room. Th family bathroom has a jacuzzi bath, whilst there are 2 further bedrooms with the mezzanine access from bedroom 3. This is a very useful area for working from hom of as a play area. Furthermore, there is potential to turn this into a 4th bedroom.

'Atina' is approached via automatic double gates which take you to the front of the house where there is ample bricked parking and turning. The house stands within its own garden oasis being a private plot to 3 sides. There is a good size garage which offers excellent potential. Planning was granted to convert the garage to holiday accommodation, but this has since lapsed. Attached to the garage are 2 store sheds. The lawns sweep around to the side of the house where there is a sheltered patio area with slate flagstones, seating and a wisteria which is slowly creeping around the corner of the house. This is directly from the kitchen/family room, so an ideal BBQ area. Further, there is a crazy paved, secret garden area; an ideal retreat to get away from everything. Mature shrubs and trees encircle the gardens, with flower beds. The lawn finshes at the rear which is an ideal clothes drying area.
