A beautifully extended and renovated detached house set within a large garden plot, on the edge of a prime village

Description

Avon-Dhu is an impressive period family home, which has been substantially extended and refurbished to a high specification throughout by the current owner, resulting in beautifully presented accommodation with a contemporary finish arranged over two floors. In addition, there is a range of stables and garaging, providing an incoming purchaser the opportunity to add ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. In all, the property is set within a large plot measuring 0.85 acres.

The ground floor accommodation, featuring wood flooring to several rooms, includes a sitting room with a original feature fireplace and a dual aspect dining room. A particular highlight is the magnificent open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room with direct access, via bi-fold doors to the terrace. The bespoke fitted kitchen is equipped with a range of cupboards and central island with gas hob. Appliances include oven, integral dishwasher and wine cooler.

The utility room has further storage with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and houses the boiler, along with access to the side of the house and the integrated garage.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a stylish modern house bathroom, with twin basins and a separate shower. The principal bedroom has a contemporary en suite shower room.

The house is accessed via double wrought iron gates leading to a generous stone driveway with ample parking and an integrated single garage with electric roller shutter doors and electric car charging point.

The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall with mature hedging and trees. The gardens continue, stretching around to the south west with a terraced area and further parking leading through to a generous outbuilding with three stables, a tack room, workshop and garage, suitable for a range of uses. Beyond is a substantial area of land surrounded by mature trees, that could be used as a paddock or for further leisure facilities.
