Description
The property has a traditional façade and is entered into a dining hall that it set around a central feature fireplace and has feature wood panelled walls in part. The kitchen has been comprehensively upgraded and now offers a fully refurbished kitchen from locally renowned Webbs, providing units to two walls, a range cooker and integral appliances together with a pantry cupboard. The kitchen, whilst modern in design, offers additional charm with stone flagged floor and feature beams. The kitchen area opens out to the rear garden making this an excellent space all year round.
The living room is a light and airy space set around a wood burning stove and with access directly to the garden area. Off the living room is a conservatory space, again which seamlessly links the outside in, making this a great area to use all year round. The ground floor accommodation is completed with WC and cloakroom facilities. The first floor offers three generous bedrooms set around a central landing. There is a choice of bathrooms, one being a bathroom with bath, WC, wash hand basin and bidet and the other being a shower room complete with shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC.
The stairs continue to a second floor which is currently utilised as a loft and storage space and offers three generous areas which would make additional bedroom accommodation should purchasers wish. This area has excellent scope and potential to really enhance the property and its offering.
Unusually for a property in this location Kirstead enjoys a large cottage garden which provides both outdoor space and privacy. The sizeable garage adds a practical touch with ample storage and parking. The garage can be accessed directly from the up-and-over door leading to the side road or can be accessed via the personal door from the garden space.
