The Approach
Accessed from West Hill Road, a gated entrance opens onto a generous loose-stone driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several large vehicles, with potential to extend the parking area to the side if required. From here, a pathway leads through an attractive lawned front garden, bordered by a traditional stone wall and established hedging. The garden continues around the side of the property, where a further lawned area provides additional outdoor space and access to the outbuildings, garage and useful under-house storage.
Garage, Outbuildings & Under-House Storage
Situated at the end of the driveway is a substantial outbuilding comprising three versatile spaces, all benefitting from power and lighting. The garage is currently arranged as a workshop. One of the adjoining rooms serves as a utility area and the other provides practical storage for gardening equipment and other outdoor essentials. Complementing these facilities is a double glazed lean-to winter garden room, featuring raised planting beds and offering an ideal environment for cultivating plants, seedlings and home-grown produce. Further storage is available beneath the main house, where a generous storage room provides ample space for large items and seasonal belongings, helping to keep the garden free of clutter. This area also houses the gas combination boiler.
Living Room
Beautifully presented living room enjoying plenty of natural light through a walk-in double-glazed box bay window to the front and an additional double-glazed window to the side, both with radiators positioned beneath. An attractive focal point is provided by a contemporary electric feature fireplace, incorporating a brushed stainless steel surround, decorative white pebble-effect fire bed and a contrasting cream and light oak-effect mantelpiece and hearth.
Principal Bedroom
A generously proportioned double bedroom enjoys an abundance of natural light through a walk-in double-glazed box bay window to the front and an additional double-glazed window to the side. The room benefits from built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, providing ample storage without compromising floor space, together with a wall-mounted central heating radiator.
Kitchen & Dining Room
A spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, offering a practical and social setting for everyday living and entertaining. The dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized dining table, while a run of base units and worktop extends from the kitchen to create a natural division between the two spaces, incorporating a breakfast bar for informal dining. The kitchen is fitted with a one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and provision for a gas cooker.
Rear Porch
Accessed via an internal door from the kitchen, the rear porch provides a practical secondary entrance to the property, conveniently positioned alongside the driveway. The space benefits from double glazing and tiled flooring.
Rear Bedrooms, Bathroom & Separate WC
Positioned to the rear of the property are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising a generous double and a slightly smaller double, both benefiting from double-glazed windows and central heating radiators. Serving the accommodation is a two-piece bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, together with a pedestal wash basin positioned beneath an obscure double-glazed window. A separate WC provides additional convenience and also benefits from an obscure double-glazed window.
Loft Room
A spacious and versatile loft room enjoying an abundance of natural light through a large double-glazed window, offering pleasant views across the surrounding area towards St Cuthbert Mayne School, complemented by additional Velux roof windows. Useful eaves storage provides practical space for household belongings, while the room itself offers excellent flexibility to suit a variety of needs. Currently suited to use as a second lounge, it could equally serve as an occasional bedroom, home office or children's playroom.
