There is a well manicure front lawn featuring a pond and waterfall. To the left of the home there is a gated side entrance leading into its vast rear garden. The current vendor has expressed that they will segregate rear garden to reduce if prospective buyer would prefer.
An internal porch area is enclosed by the first set of doors and once inside, the entrance hallway is finished with flagstone style flooring and a convenient downstairs w/c and built in cloakroom is situated at the end. There is a doorway from the hallway leading into the large dual aspect lounge with bay window, feature fireplace with coal living flame fire and sliding doors to the rear garden.

The formal dining room boasts bifold doors opening into this fabulous open plan kitchen/diner/family room which is complete with a generous island, wooden worktops, flagstone style flooring and high-quality integrated appliances including Neff double oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher and two fridge/freezers. There is additional space for either a casual dining area or lounge, with sliding doors leading onto the paved patio and views across the extensive rear garden. 
Adjoining the kitchen is a generous size utility/boot room with built in storage, sink and plumbing for washing facilities and extraction for tumble dryer. It has an external door to the rear garden as well as an internal door leading to into the garages with newly fitted garage doors.

Further down the garden and hidden by the delightful L shape lies a vegetable patch, complete with greenhouse. The garden enjoys far reaching countryside views and is enclosed with hedged/fenced boundaries and has the addition of two sheds.
