5 bedroom detached house for sale

Windmill cottage forms a deceptively large family home with flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. The house is exceptionally well maintained with every window having been replaced over the last five to ten years, plus modern kitchen and bathroom suites added, and stylish décor. A new boiler was installed approximately two years ago and every light has been refitted with an LED fitting.

The property originates from the 19th century, and still has various feature fireplaces and wooden flooring features throughout the house. The ground floor comprises an original front porch and reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor and an understairs shower room.

The sitting room is a wonderful dual aspect room with an open fireplace, whilst adjacent is a stunning open plan dining/family room with a seating area to one end with doors and views up the garden, and fireplaces along two walls.

The kitchen/breakfast room is another dual aspect room, with an array of cream units and integrated appliances, sink and cooker, space for a table and chairs, plus a door to the utility room, housing more appliances and a further door to the outside.

Off the kitchen is a wonderful, vaulted garden room accessing the sheltered paved patio on the south-west corner of the house and looking up the garden.

The first floor comprises an open landing with access to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the huge main bedroom also enjoying a dressing area and an en-suite.

The second floor provides two more double bedrooms and an open landing, currently used as a gym area, and has some of the best views on offer. It is considered that this space could be self-contained if required.
