Description

Set back from the village road behind a generous front garden, Dashwood is a substantial detached family house occupying a delightful position within this highly sought-after village. Offering over 2,100 square feet of well-balanced accommodation, the property combines generous reception space with four bedrooms, extensive parking and beautiful views across open countryside to the rear.

A welcoming entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and leads through to the principal reception rooms. The impressive sitting room is a wonderfully proportioned space, extending to 24 feet in length and centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable room for both family living and entertaining. A separate study offers valuable versatility and is ideally suited to home working, whilst also lending itself to use as a secondary reception room, family snug or playroom.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/dining room, a wonderfully bright and sociable space benefiting from a triple-aspect outlook and an excellent range of fitted cabinetry and storage. Designed with family life and entertaining in mind, the room flows seamlessly into the conservatory, which in turn opens onto the gardens beyond, creating a strong connection between the house and its delightful surroundings.

The driveway provides extensive parking and access to a substantial brick built open garage, with 7kW EV charger, and workshop.

To the rear, an attractive stone terrace extends directly from the house and enjoys a delightful outlook across the countryside beyond. The garden is principally laid to lawn and bordered by a rich variety of mature planting, creating colour, interest and privacy throughout the seasons. With the fields behind, there is an enhanced sense of space and tranquillity, making this a superb setting for outdoor entertaining and everyday enjoyment alike.
