This substantial detached property with a large private garden, in the heart of a sought-after village, was originally constructed in the 1940s and extended in 2005 to create a very spacious family home with additional flexible accommodation.

GROUND FLOOR

The entrance hallway has beautiful Canadian Maple flooring, a carpeted staircase rising to the first floor with a store cupboard beneath, and a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a WC and basin.

A good-sized study is carpeted and has plenty of light from a wide window to the front, ideal for those working from home. It also contains a cupboard housing the oil-fired combi-boiler and tumble drier.

The living room is spacious, carpeted and filled with light from dual-aspect windows and French doors to the garden. A wood-burning stove sits in a fireplace, making a nice feature and focal point for the room; a wonderful place to enjoy a roaring fire on a dark winter night.

The solid Maple flooring continues from the hallway into a stunning kitchen/dining room, which has dual-aspect windows, a door to the side of the property and French doors opening onto the slate terrace and the garden. It has a modern fitted kitchen with an integrated dishwasher and elegant solid-granite worktops, including a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining, and a full height corner pantry cupboard and a range of modern fitted units with matching wall-cabinets, painted in Farrow and Ball grey, providing ample storage space.
A wonderful range cooker provides excellent cooking facilities with eight LPG gas hob rings and twin electric ovens. A stainless-steel one and three quarter-bowl sink with a mixer tap is situated beneath a window providing lovely views towards Haldon Belvedere tower. This room also has plenty of space for a dining table and seating for six or more places, ideal for any occasion with French doors extending the inside space onto the terrace outside.
