The entrance hall, with flagstone floors, leads seamlessly through to the centre of the house with dining room and sitting room doors to the left and right and onto the garden room beyond. The bright dual aspect sitting room enjoys views of the gardens, and the fireplace with sandstone surround and inset wood burner, provides an excellent focal point ensuring this is a particularly cosy space and an excellent room for entertaining. The garden room, which spills out onto the paved terrace, is light and bright, ideal for enjoying the morning sunshine, or simply to admire the immaculate and ever changing seasonal garden.
The kitchen is full of character with a 2 oven gas AGA (blue), fitted cream shaker style base and wall units, integrated Bosch oven and induction hob under beech worktops. This eminently functional theme continues into a substantial utility room which is adjacent, as is a boot room with dual back doors leading out to the village at the front and garden to the rear.
From the entrance and garden room, stairs rise to the first floor where there are three immensely characterful bedrooms, the principal of which has dual aspect windows and an ensuite bathroom with both rolltop bathtub and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms and a family shower room complete the picture. There is alternative access to the first floor via a staircase from the utility room.
The impression is a charming period home in a delightful village which would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in an exceptionally convenient location.
OUTSIDE
One of the real surprises of this house is the delightful private walled garden to the rear, with large lawn and impressive borders which offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion. They are well stocked with a variety of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees. An impressive mature wisteria flourishes against the back garden wall and an abundance of roses and quince at the front of the house provide a most attractive aspect. The garden is a real suntrap and is a haven for many woodland and garden birds. The large paved terrace abutting the rear of the house provides excellent space for entertaining and is a place from where one can enjoy the evening sun. A double garage can be found at the end of the gravel driveway towards the end of the garden.
