STEP INSIDE
As you enter the house through the uPVC double-glazed entrance door, you are greeted by a hallway with engineered oak flooring. To your right is the spacious lounge, featuring a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The engineered oak flooring and original coving add to the room’s character. Next is the study/ library, a perfect space for a home office but also versatile enough to be used as a hobby room or an additional bedroom if needed.
To the left of the hallway is the dining room, which boasts a beautiful picture window and a window seat with handy storage cupboards underneath. The room also retains its original coving and showcases a striking feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove. From here, you move into the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, which has been thoughtfully re-fitted with a range of wall and base units, a sink and drainer, laminate work surfaces, and an island with a breakfast bar. There is space for an oven and extractor fan, and a door leads into a walk-in pantry, providing ample storage. Double doors also open into the conservatory, offering additional dining space or a relaxing area with stunning views of the garden.
The ground floor is completed by a convenient downstairs WC and a utility room, featuring a range of wall and base units, a sink and drainer, as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher.
From the hallway, stairs descend into the cellar, providing excellent additional storage space.
A beautifully restored staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, each offering lovely views over the surrounding countryside. There are also two modern shower rooms, each equipped with a shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin.
STEP OUTSIDE
The property is approached from the road via a gate and a gravel driveway, offering ample parking and turning space. The house is set centrally within its gardens, which include a lush lawn, well-established shrubs and hedges, and well-stocked flower beds and borders. A dedicated ‘kitchen garden’ with four raised vegetable beds provides the perfect space for growing your own produce. Two tranquil ponds further enhance the peaceful ambiance of the outdoor space, and there is also a patio seating area at the rear, ideal for relaxing. The gardens and grounds offer seclusion, with mature trees and hedges ensuring privacy.
A range of outbuildings offer great potential for various uses. The single garage features an up-andover door, power, and lighting, providing ample storage space. Attached to the garage is a workshop, fully double-glazed and equipped with a workbench, shelving, power, lighting, and a non-slip floor covering. This space is perfect for continuing as a workshop but could also serve as an art studio or home gym. Alternatively, it could be converted for other purposes, subject to the necessary consents. Additional storage is provided by a store room with a mezzanine level, a lean-to wood store, and two greenhouses.
