Substantial detached house with fine country views.

Description

Plovers is a superb detached family house, located in the picturesque and quiet setting of Westhall Hill, Fulbrook, near the historic town of Burford. Thought to have been built during the 1960s, this handsome family home offers spacious living accommodation over two floors, with many of the principal rooms benefitting from wonderful garden and countryside views towards the church spire in Burford.

The current owner has overseen a programme of improvements to the house and gardens including landscaping and fencing, upgrading security lighting and heating system.

Internally the living accommodation is set out over two floors and comprises an entrance hall with exposed stone flooring and a cherry wood staircase rising to the first floor. Leading off the hall is a dual aspect sitting room with a wood burner and doors leading into the front garden.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor cabinets with new appliances and an electric range which has increased fuel efficiency. The bright conservatory offers further accommodation with doors opening out into the garden. Accessed off the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room with plenty of storage and a separate shower room.

On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom one benefits from an en suite cloakroom and built in cupboards.

Complementing the house is a newly landscaped and gently ascending garden including mature spruce trees, box hedging and lawns.
