4 bedroom detached house for sale

This imposing and rarely available four bedroom detached period home offers a wealth of versatile internal accommodation, in addition to a particularly generous L-shaped garden and 29ft garage/workshop. It also, in our opinion, offers ample scope for enlargement/extension (STPP) and is nestled within convenient reach of the centre of the village.

Approach to the home is onto a good-sized driveway which allows parking for several vehicles. To the front is a lawned area with an array of mature shrubs, bushes and hedging, all of which have been meticulously tended. A beautiful white wooden front door with oval stained glass insert opens into the entrance hall which has stairs directly ahead leading to the first-floor accommodation and still has the original mosaic tiled floor. To the right-hand side is the principal reception room, the living room, which has a brick fireplace with raised tiled hearth and a window glancing across the front elevation. Beyond here is a second sitting area, configured in an L-shaped nature and commanding impressive dimensions, in this case, 16'5ft by 12'6ft. Back in the hallway a further internal door leads through to a formal dining room which offers a beautiful dual aspect orientation with windows to both the front and side elevations, flooding the room with an abundance of natural daylight. From here you can also access the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units incorporating tiled work surfaces over. An Aga has been installed and the character continues with a beamed ceiling. In the breakfast area ample space has been afforded for a table and chairs, creating a real family/entertaining space, whilst an exposed brick wall and tiled floor complete the look. To one corner an inner lobby doubles as a utility room providing space for a washing machine as well as a useful shower room which comprises of a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a timber conservatory/lean to which has a tiled floor and door opening into the garden.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which nestles to the rear elevation and enjoys beautiful views down the garden. A comprehensive range of fitted over the bed wardrobes have been installed as well as the convenience of its own WC which comprises of a low level wc and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Tiled splashbacks and an obscure window complete the look. Of the remaining three bedrooms two are of double proportions, whilst the other offers single sized dimensions. Bedroom two is particularly engaging with a stunning dual aspect outlook and, again, all three provide built in wardrobes. They are serviced by way of a family bathroom which has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a panelled bath with tap fed shower attachment and etched glass screen over, low level wc and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Tiled splashbacks adorn the walls, and an obscure window sits to the side.

Externally the rear garden is sizeable and offers significant maturity. A good-sized patio area initially butts up against the rear of the home, providing the ideal entertaining/relaxing space, beyond which it has been laid predominately to lawn with deep, well stocked borders running to one side housing an assortment of plants, shrubs and bushes. Several mature trees dot the plot. As you reach the bottom it runs to the right along the rear of the neighbouring gardens and enjoys unrivalled field views beyond. Within the boundary is a large 29'6ft by 19'0ft garage/workshop with a timber lap exterior and a separate office set within. Two further storage/workshops nestle alongside and provide the perfect opportunity for work from home spaces or for any individual looking to run a business from home (subject to any necessary permissions/consents).

It is further enhanced by being offered for sale with no upper chain attached.
