The current owners have wonderfully enhanced the property by adding a new kitchen, restored every window, carried out extensive work on the roof and significantly upgraded the heating system by changing the boiler, installing column radiators, and laying underfloor heating in key rooms.
These modern enhancements blend wonderfully with the preservation of this grade II listed property, allowing features to flourish alongside the high specification of bathrooms and kitchen.
The door opens into a split-level hallway with stripped floorboards. To the right there is a bay fronted dining room with exposed brick fireplace which encompasses a wood burning stove. To the left, a cosy sitting room is centred round an inglenook fireplace, where a Stovax wood burner is nestled underneath an oak bressummer.
The ground floor is split level, and a few steps descend down into a central lobby which branches off to the contemporary newly fitted kitchen breakfast room which has been well configured to incorporate integrated appliances and a breakfast bar which are all finished with slimline natural stone worktops.
To the other side of the lobby there is a well-appointed family bathroom with WC, basin and slipper bathtub with overhead shower. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor where one will find a double cellar. Half is used as a utility room whilst the other side has been fully tanked and makes an ideal childrens den/guest room.
To the first floor there are two characterful bedrooms both with period fireplaces and quirky original cupboards. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite with newly fitted shower and a delightful dressing room. Stairs wind to the second floor where a galleried landing has splendid views and leads to two bedrooms ideal for children sharing or alternatively as a peaceful office.
OUTSIDE:
The south facing walled garden backs onto mature trees and has an abundance of established shrubs and flowers which border the lawn. The raised patio allows for off road parking accessed from an electric gate, the elevation at the rear is particularly attractive with a Kent peg, cat slide roof, wooden framed, double-glazed windows and a little dormer peeping out between the chimneys. The patio steps down onto another seating area ideal for alfresco dining. At the foot of the garden there is a sympathetically built studio/workshop, with double glazed French doors. Half is used as a gym whilst the other side has ample storage including a loft area. To the rear of studio there is an area sheltered by the roof to keep bicycles or logs
