A stone entrance porch with impressive lead-paned windows, exposed beams and stone flooring, leads into the house through a striking period front door. From here, a small entrance hall leads into the dining room, a spectacular room at the heart of the house with flagstone floors and windows with dual aspect views of the gardens. A focal point of the dining room is a recently fitted wood burner with steel flue, perfect for those winter evenings.
From the dining room, a door leads into the sitting room with wooden floors and an original Inglenook fireplace and further wood burner, a wonderful feature of this delightful snug room. The garden room, with its exposed wall, provides a wonderfully light and spacious space connecting the period house to its beautiful surroundings, with access onto the garden and view of the giant walnut tree.
Leading from the centre of the house you are welcomed into a large open-plan kitchen. This is an exceptional space and the real hub of the house. A recently fitted bespoke kitchen with dresser, cream shaker units and quartz worktops, are complemented by the large Belfast sink with Quooker tap (providing boiling, sparkling and filtered water) which sits beneath a picture window with glorious views out towards the south facing garden, a perfect space for summer entertaining. Wooden floors and original Ingelnook fireplace with space for an AGA/range cooker framed by an exposed Bressummer beam, along with LED smart lighting, an integrated full sized NEFF fridge/freezer and dishwasher complete this fantastic working kitchen space. At the other end of the kitchen is a Charnwood wood burner. This space is currently used as a sitting area, although it could comfortably accommodate a table for kitchen dining if required. Additional to the kitchen, is a utility room providing plumbing and space for all modern appliances with the benefit of an adjoining bathroom.
The staircase with wood panelling leads upstairs to four good sized double bedrooms and family bathroom. At the far end is the impressive main bedroom with wooden floorboards, exposed stone wall and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. There is an extensive existing wardrobe which has the potential to be converted into an ensuite shower room. The remaining three double bedrooms, one with Victorian feature fireplace, are similar in size, with large windows and charming window seats overlooking the gardens. The large family bathroom floods with light and has a separate bathtub, shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail along with storage and windows with views onto the garden. There is a large loft space, partially boarded out with electrical point.
The property is approached from Compton Street onto a gravelled parking area for several cars. To the side of the property there is gated access to the main garden, log store, oil tank and two water tanks. In front of the parking area there is a smaller garden area with pretty aspect and apple and pear trees. A key feature of this house are the gardens which have been well looked after ensuring the house and garden complement one another. There are gravel pathways, a pond, feature wooden arch and various flower beds that include roses and hydrangeas. The two wooden sheds, greenhouse, vegetable patch and magnificent walnut tree complete the picture. Twelve solar roof panels generate an approximate annual income of £1600.
