Welcome to Mansdale, an individual residence, splendidly situated to enjoy wonderous and far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside.
Set in just shy of half an acre, this desirable chalet has been subject to much improvement, and is now ready for its next chapter, yet still offers the exciting opportunity to put one’s own stamp upon it. Offering both generous and flexible accommodation the majority of the rooms enjoy magnificent rural views, that will be hard to better.

The accommodation is approached from the VERANDA PORCH, a perfect private undercover spot to take in those breathtaking views. Upon entering, it is immediately apparent that this is a notably light and airy house. The ENTRANCE HALL & INNERHALL lead to all principal rooms, with ½ turn staircase rising, and a deep under stair cupboard and an additional ever useful cupboard. The pleasing recent timber flooring continues into the DINING ROOM; a delightful reception room with bifold doors to the veranda that perfectly frame the view, ideal for entertaining with ample room for a sizable dining table. For those cooler evenings there is a cosy log burning stove with black limestone hearth and adjacent log store. The KITCHEN BREAKFAST ROOM lies adjacent to the dining room, and readily accommodates a table for more casual dining. A window once again frames the far-reaching views. There is a range of floor-based cupboards with work surfaces over, an electric hob with fume hood and a Neff™ double oven together with space for additional appliances including plumbing. As elsewhere in the residence there is infrared heating with ceiling mounted heater. A door from the kitchen leads out to the side Conservatory, currently re-purposed as a utility room and in need of some TLC. Through the conservatory is a WORKSHOP recently re-roofed and housing the home battery storage for the 18 photovoltaic roof panels. The SITTING ROOM is centred around the cosy wood burning stove, plentiful natural light comes courtesy of twin picture windows with views of the garden and the gently undulating countryside. Situated off this inviting reception room is the STUDY or BEDROOM FIVE currently repurposed as a playroom. Also situated on the ground floor and offering most flexible accommodation is the FAMILY ROOM or BEDROOM FOUR, especially as it is adjacent to the FAMILY BATHROOM with W.C., wash hand basin and shower cubicle.

Venturing upstairs a light filled large landing awaits with generous eave storage, and the airing cupboard. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has twin wardrobes and a south facing window. BEDROOM TWO also has twin wardrobes and previously an ensuite now re-purposed as a LAUNDRY ROOM. BEDROOM THREE is also a double and lies to the front of the property once again having a generous sized window enjoying the magnificent vista. Concluding the most flexible accommodation is the BATHROOM with panelled bath, W.C., wash hand basin and shower cubicle, with Velux™ window.

Outside
With abundantly stocked gardens, the plot approaches some ½ acre, and is largely arranged to lawn studded with mature trees, including the beech tree with swing! The lawn edged by vivid and colourful borders adding interest. A play area has been assigned with sunken trampoline and timber playhouse with slide. Keeping all generations suitably engaged is a pathway leading in turn to the GREENHOUSE. To the fore of the dining room is the veranda with paved patio extending out, providing the perfect vantage point to survey the garden and the glorious views beyond. The privately owned drive leads to a timber gate to an area of generous parking and additional parking beyond.
