Offered with no forward chain, this excellent detached property has been owned by the same family for over 50 years, with four bedrooms in the main house and a further bedroom in the annexe. It provides plenty of living space and has a wonderful south-westerly facing rear garden with views across to St Catherine’s Hill and Chilcomb.

The main house is entered via a covered porch, into a welcoming hallway. To the front is a charming family room with a wonderful bay window and useful serving hatch through to the kitchen. The attractive sitting room benefits from a gas feature fireplace and large sliding doors opening onto the patio and garden beyond. The good-sized dining room also enjoys sliding doors onto the patio and is open plan with the fitted kitchen. There are plenty of base and eye-level units in the kitchen itself with integrated appliances including oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and washing machine.

A doorway from the dining room leads to a passageway providing access to the annexe. This is a real benefit of this excellent house and consists of a generous living room with kitchenette, adjoining double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and its own wet room, creating a perfect space for overnight guests or for those needing accommodation all at ground-floor level. The annexe has the advantage of its own front door and a side door to the garden, meaning these rooms can also be accessed without going through the main house.

Stairs lead from the hallway to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a further single bedroom. The principal bedroom is a generous size and benefits from two built-in wardrobes with additional integrated storage and large windows allowing plenty of natural light. A family bathroom with separate WC completes the accommodation on this floor.

The property is nicely set back from the road with parking on the driveway in front of and alongside the house. The large, well-maintained rear garden is a real delight, with a pretty paved patio directly behind the main house providing plenty of space for entertaining. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with mature tree and shrub borders and specimen fruit trees. A shed provides useful storage.
