Occupying a corner plot and with particularly attractive and good sized gardens, the property offers flexible family accommodation with a ground floor guest suite ideal for a dependent relative. With part of the property which, according to the vendors, dates back to the Domesday book, the property is situated within a conservation area. The original features of the property are blended with contemporary modern fittings in both the bathroom and downstairs shower room. A particular feature of the property is the breakfast room and kitchen, which both offer Cathedral ceilings, the kitchen having been fitted with a bespoke range of units by Barrett & Swann and the breakfast room having attractive exposed stone walling, once again displaying a tasteful blend of old and new.
