Description
This detached and attractive property was built in 1987. It sits centrally in a largely level plot that extends to 2.51 acres.
Blankets Brake offers accommodation extending over 3,000 sq ft. The current owners have made many improvements including 3 new bathrooms with underfloor heating and the creation of a substantial purpose built garden office. Each room is generously proportioned.
A spacious reception hallway with wooden floor leads to the principal rooms. The dual aspect sitting room has a feature fireplace with inset wood burner. There is a large formal dining room as well as a second sitting room. The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units, together with an electric Aga. Off the kitchen is a utility room. Of further note is a modern shower room.
A wide turning stairway leads to the galleried landing with ceiling light panel. Each of the four bedrooms is a generous double, the principal triple aspect bedroom having a modern 4 piece ensuite. The family bathroom has also been recently replaced.
From the lane, 5 barred wooden gates lead to a large parking and turning area. The recently built garden office is purpose built and has large reception/meeting room, 2 offices and storeroom. A detached double garage adjoins the drive. Large gardens sweep around the house with lawns, attractively planted borders with an array of shrubs providing colour throughout the seasons. These include Azalea and Rhododendron. The rest of the land comprises well established broadleaved woodland with a number of fruit trees, pond and a decked seating area. Overall, the land extends to 2.51 acres.
