4 bedroom detached house for sale

A stunning, detached family residence extended and much improved, set within a large private garden located centrally within this highly sought-after village.

This most attractive 1930s house enjoys a wonderful position at the heart of this thriving village, just a short walk from the primary school, village recreation ground and mainline train station. The current owners have resided here for many years and in that time have transformed the property with a programme of expansion and improvement resulting in generously proportioned and extremely well-planned accommodation throughout.

In brief, the accommodation comprises a vaulted entrance porch with a cloakroom w.c. just off and a door to the welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor accommodation, large pantry cupboard under. The sitting room boasts a wood burning stove and solid wood flooring and flows beautifully through to the garden room extension with its vaulted ceiling and study just off. The kitchen / breakfast room also boasts a part-vaulted ceiling and is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces with an inset one and a half sink unit fitted with a waste disposal unit, a mixer tap with filter water facility and a drainer. There is a Rayburn Royal range (cooking and hot water) plus a separate four-ring gas stove with double oven and extractor. Within the rear lobby, there is a series of large, fitted storage cupboards concealing the white goods and a sink.

Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms with an ensuite to the master room and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is set back from the road and screened by hedging with a recently relaid shingled driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the double length garage with up-and-over door, power and light connected with a workshop area to its rear. The rear garden is laid to shaped, manicured lawns with well-stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a generous patio area with a further patio to the rear of the garden, taking advantage of the evening sunshine, a large timber shed / workshop, garden store and all is enclosed by fencing overlooking fields to the rear, enjoying maximum levels of privacy and seclusion.
