Description
The house has been home to the present owners for the past 36 years and is of timber frame construction, with exposed beams and a part-tiled, part-thatched roof. It sits well on its plot on a single track lane behind a gravel sweep and has the feel of a traditional country cottage.
The property is light and airy and the accommodation flows well, with the hall and landing running the full width of the house and all the rooms enjoying views over the garden and undulating countryside beyond. The ground floor rooms include a large sitting room with an attractive brick fireplace and two sets of French doors leading out into the south-facing rear terrace. The dining room, which would adapt well for use as a study, lies at the heart of the house and has been opened out into the hall. The fitted kitchen has bespoke oak units, is big enough for a good size table and chairs and has a large adjacent utility/boot room. There is also a snug (part of a later addition), which provides access out into the garden.
The first floor rooms include the principal en suite bedroom, which has a very well appointed shower room and an attractive vaulted ceiling, three more bedrooms (one of which is currently used as an office) and a family bathroom.
Outside
The delightful garden has a south-facing rear terrace and has been beautifully maintained, with a large manicured lawn, well stocked borders and a number of established trees. The outbuildings include a detached double garage with a pitched roof situated to the right of the house, a picturesque summerhouse and a large shed.
Services
