Description

This lovely family home has been carefully remodelled by the current owners to provide light and bright accommodation with much character.

The two ground floor double bedrooms are at the front, with to the right the principal bedroom with bay window and door through to a small dressing area with mirror fronted wardrobes and which leads into the en suite bathroom with large vanity unity and shower over the bath. The other bedroom is another light double with bay windows and with fitted cupboards.

Also off the hall is the family bathroom with large walk-in shower, there is a useful cupboard and then also plenty of space for hanging coats and storing shoes etc below the stairs. From here there is a door into the utility room which has floor and wall units, a sink and plenty of space for a second fridge or freezer.

At the rear of the property the kitchen has been simply but well designed with slate floor, wooden base and wall units and with bright vinyl work tops, there is an integrated hob and space for a cooker and dish washer. From here you step down into the dining area with door out to the terrace and large picture windows offering wonderful views. A further two steps lead into the spacious and cosy sitting room which has floor to ceiling fully glazed doors onto the sun terrace, and for those colder night a wood burner inset into a pretty tiled fireplace. These rooms span the entire width of the property and allow a nice flow perfect for family living and entertaining.

On the first floor there is large landing which provides a useful ‘snug’ area and benefits from a large Velux window providing much light, there is also some under eaves storage. Off this there is also a family bathroom and then to the back two cleverly designed single bedrooms with enormous charm and character and with stunning views over the gardens and countryside beyond.
