Description
SETTING THE SCENE The property is approached via The Street via an initial shared approached owned by the cottage leading to the private shingled front driveway with secure side gate leading to the rear. The frontage provides ample off road parking as well as mature hedging and a timber shed. The main access is to the front via a porch entrance.
THE GRAND TOUR Entering via the main entrance door into the entrance hallway you will find built-in double storage, under-stairs storage and access to the first floor. To the right you will find the main reception space with defined sitting and dining areas. This room combined is triple aspect overlooking the front, rear and side bringing in plenty of light and also benefits from an open fireplace too. There are then doors leading into the garden room overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room can be found on the opposite side of the hallway with plenty of cupboard space and space for a table. The kitchen offers space for a free standing oven and fridge freezer and leads to the utility room beyond providing space for the washing machine and tumble dryer as well as housing the oil fired boiler. Adjoining is a downstairs shower room too completing the ground floor. Leading up to the first floor landing you will find two built-in cupboards and window to the rear overlooking the garden. The first floor offers three double bedrooms, two of which are located to the front and one has built in cupboards. The main room is found to the rear with far reaching views of the fields beyond and plenty of built in storage. There is also a family bathroom.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS The impressive rear garden is accessed via the garden room or utility room and offers a lot more than expected whilst also backing onto fields to the rear. The initial part of the garden has a paved patio and attractive pond with rockery and mature planting surrounding. There is then a shingled area and large timber garden shed providing useful storage. There are also lawns within the initial section of garden but the main lawn is found to the rear accessed via a pergola. The bottom section is a hidden extra with plenty of space for all the family as well as shingled and raised planted borders and a summer house. The garden is enclosed with timber fencing and mature hedging.
