This house is chocolate box pretty, with a white stucco façade and a central enclosed porch that invites you in. From the shelter of the porch you come into the main open-plan main living space, a light-filled 20 ft long room with ample space for sofas and a dining area. A door at the end leads to the separate kitchen/breakfast room which has fitted cabinets that wrap around three sides of the room, providing plenty of room for freestanding appliances and an extensive worktop. There are garden views from the windows above the sink and a semi-glazed door opens onto the paved terrace, a lovely outdoor space that’s ideal for relaxing or entertaining. There’s also a downstairs WC.

The first floor is home to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The main double bedroom has lots of character, with a stripped wood floor, an original cast-iron fireplace, and views over the front garden. The second (single) bedroom has engineered wood floor, two built-in cupboards and has a sunny, south-facing window with view over the paddock, and open countryside beyond. The centrally located bathroom has a contemporary suite that includes a bath with a mixer shower, a washbasin console and a WC, and an opening window provides natural light and ventilation.

The property sits on an unusually large plot and is set back from the road behind a front garden and a large block-paved driveway that wraps around the front and side of the house and provides off-street parking for several cars. Beyond this there’s a brick garage and a number of connected single storey outbuildings. The large rear garden has a large paved terrace, a lawn bordered by a raised bed and, at the end, a 5-bar gate to the 250 by 50 foot paddock that’s lined with attractive trees and has wonderful views over surrounding countryside.

The property has been well kept by the current owners, and there are contemporary fixtures and fittings throughout. The décor is simple and stylish, characterised by mainly white walls and wood floors, with some subtly coloured feature walls and tasteful tiling. There’s a smart monochrome kitchen, and a grey stair carpet. The house is partly double-glazed and has gas central heating. It’s not connected to mains drainage and is in a conservation area.

Planning permission has been granted for a sizeable ground floor extension that would increase the area of this floor by approximately 40%, creating three large living spaces and a bathroom. The plans for the extension include large, full-height glazed sliding doors with garden views in the new kitchen/diner and in the living room/study.
