A spacious room with tiled floor and large window looking out over the rear gardens.  The kitchen comprises a good range of cream Shaker style cabinets topped with solid wood worktops, full height larder cupboard, 1 1/2 bowl stainless steel sink along with space for a range cooker (available by negotiation) and space for both a fridge freezer and dishwasher.  There is space in the centre of the room for a large breakfast table - ideal for modern family life.  Adjacent is the utility room with tiled floor, further cabinets, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer and a door to the rear garden. In one corner is a separate cloakroom with WC and wash basin. From the utility room a door opens into the integral garage which benefits from light and power and houses the wall mounted 'Vaillant; gas fired boiler.  Leading off the hall is a versatile reception room.  This useful room, currently presented as a snug, could also be used as a study, gym, playroom or sixth bedroom, if required.

Stairs rise to the first floor with galleried landing and large airing cupboard with shelves, hanging space and housing the hot water cylinder.  The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a window to the rear - overlooking the garden.

To the front is a generous double bedroom with built-in mirrored wardrobes and square bay window offering marvellous views over open countryside.  Two further bedrooms also benefit from the view over the neighbouring fields, one being a comfortable double and one being a single bedroom, currently presented as a study, with 3/4 height built-in mirrored wardrobe. The fifth bedroom, again a comfortable double, has a window overlooking the rear garden and built-in mirrored wardrobes with shelves and hanging rail. The family bathroom with tiled floor comprises a 'P' shaped bath with overhead shower, WC and wall mounted vanity basin.

OUTSIDE

The property is set back from the road and accessed via double gates which open onto the drive.  The driveway offers parking for two to three cars and leads to the integrated garage with 'up and over door'.  Adjacent to the garage is a 'lean to' garage/store, again with 'up and over' door and offering parking for two cars - in tandem, plenty of storage space and gated access to the rear garden.  The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders of mature shrubs, roses, flowering plants and high hedges.

The rear garden which can be accessed from the dining room, utility room and 'lean to' garage/store is a good size. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging and pleached conifer trees. A mature tree sits within the lawn and patio runs across the rear of the house, offering space for outside furniture and entertaining.  To one end is a covered patio with outdoor lighting and space for garden furniture - an ideal spot to enjoy the garden, whatever the weather. In the far corner of the garden is a further patio, ideally placed to enjoy the sunshine.
