The Property

Entrance Porch & Hallway – The porch has been expanded and refurbished in 2022 to create a fitting entry to the property, with new windows fitted either side of the door allowing a flood of light into the space. There is space for hanging coats & kicking off shoes, while pattern tile flooring continues through into the utility. Warm engineered wood flooring runs through the hallway beyond, which spans the length of the property and accesses all four downstairs reception rooms. At the far end, the large original front door has been retained, with transom window above. The downstairs WC comes with low flush WC and vanity unit basin with subway splashback tiles.

Utility/Shower Room – Located just off the porch with tile flooring underfoot, the utility is sizeable and offers not only glazed corner cubicle with thermostatic shower, but also cupboard units with laminate countertops, including porcelain sink & a half with drainer and space for a washing machine & tumble dryer.

Sitting Room – Ceiling timber beams, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, niche bookcase shelving, bespoke Jim Lawrence light fittings and dual aspect windows wonderfully combine to create a truly stunning main reception room, with ample space for a 3-piece suite and additional furniture.

Kitchen/Dining Room – Spanning 3 generations of the property’s development, this superb kitchen/diner is truly the heart of the home, with recently installed French doors beside a dedicated area for family dining, providing open flow to the rain-sheltered entertaining patio. The kitchen is a locally hand-made custom design, fitted in a range of white shaker units with quartz countertops. Featured is an electric AGA with extractor fan above, while Belfast sink, fridge, freezer and slimline dishwasher are also all integrated.

Snug – Front aspect reception room, featuring a Jotul wood burning stove atop tile hearth. A wide triple window overlooks the front lawns, while a serving hatch adjoins the kitchen.

Study – Tucked away off the hall, this well-appointed room is perfect as a dedicated home office but could also be utilised as a playroom, or even downstairs bedroom if required.

Landing – The carpeted landing is surprisingly spacious, offering space next to a front aspect window, perfect for a cuddle chair and a good book. There is also a double door storage cupboard and hatch access to the loft.

Bedrooms 1 & 2 – Two good-size doubles either side of the landing, both featuring engineered wood flooring, front aspect countryside views, built-in wardrobe storage and latch handle cottage doors.

The airing cupboard houses the Worcester Bosch gas combi boiler, which is under guarantee until 2028.

Outside

Attached at the side of the house is a recently built pergola, providing rain cover over the entertaining patio. Beyond are a sweep of plush lawns running the full length of the plot to the rear, enjoying uninterrupted views across countryside. A mixture of shrubbery, vegetable beds, trees, rockery and pond with water feature have all been lovingly tended, creating a serene outdoor retreat. The front lawns are equally as immaculate, with tall box cut hedging giving privacy from the road.
