Description

Nestled within the picturesque rural setting of Rookhope, this attractive four-bedroom detached property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, an expansive rear garden and a range of energy-efficient features.

CHAIN FREE, the property is ideally suited to families, those seeking a peaceful countryside home or buyers looking for a property with scope to further enhance and adapt to their requirements.

A particular feature is the property's solar panel system with 11kW of battery storage, complemented by a two-phase electricity supply and Economy 7 tariff, providing the opportunity to charge the batteries overnight at lower-cost electricity rates. The property also benefits from a feed-in tariff.

Internally, the accommodation is presented in a neutral style and features two reception rooms, both enjoying attractive fireplaces with multi-fuel burners. The principal lounge provides access to the kitchen/diner, while the second reception room offers useful additional living space.

To the rear is a spacious kitchen/diner, arranged into separate dining and kitchen areas. The dining space features a wood-burning stove set within a stone surround, with the stove also offering the benefit of being suitable for cooking. The fitted kitchen provides a good range of storage and preparation space, together with an integrated oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher, plus plumbing for a washing machine.

A well-proportioned sunroom completes the ground-floor accommodation, enjoying lovely views across the surrounding hillsides and providing direct access to the garden.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a modern En-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom. Several rooms enjoy views across the surrounding countryside, while bedroom three benefits from built-in storage and bedroom two has access to the roof space.

Externally, the property enjoys an impressive rear garden extending across multiple zones. Directly from the sunroom is a generous paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, which continues towards the rear boundary and provides access to stone-built outbuildings and an outdoor storage shed. Further garden areas include a gravelled section planted with an abundance of flowers, mature shrubs and established trees, leading onto a lawned area at the foot of the garden. The garden provides an excellent combination of seating areas, mature planting, lawn, storage and outdoor space, creating a particularly attractive setting in which to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

There is also potential scope for an extension to the Northern side of the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

This home represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious detached family home in a peaceful countryside location, combining versatile accommodation, substantial gardens and impressive energy-saving infrastructure.
