Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire an attractive detached red brick property, occupying a wonderfully discreet and tranquil position. Surrounded by mature gardens and enjoying far-reaching views across the adjoining countryside, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, character and convenience.

The ground floor is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, leading into the elegant sitting/dining room. A charming bay window and glazed door overlook the garden, while a handsome brick fireplace with inset log burner creates a warm focal point. Beautiful parquet flooring, detailed coving and ceiling roses add further character and reflect the period charm of the property.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry and enjoys an abundance of natural light from its triple aspect windows, with a useful side door providing access to the gardens. A guest WC and built-in storage cupboard are conveniently located off the hallway, alongside the attractive dog-leg staircase leading to the first floor.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying a generous layout and lovely views across the gardens and fields beyond. A stone fireplace adds a wonderful sense of character and warmth. Two further bedrooms also benefit from the delightful outlook, with each featuring its own convenient wash hand basin. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms and is fitted with a charming retro blue suite.

Outside, the property is surrounded by mature, private gardens which blend beautifully with the countryside beyond. The south-facing aspect provides an abundance of sunshine and creates a wonderfully peaceful setting in which to relax and entertain. A paved pathway and terrace wrap around the property, providing a number of opportunities to enjoy the gardens and views.

A detached double garage offers excellent storage and practical utility space, while the generous off-street parking further enhances this highly appealing and discreetly positioned home.
