Description
This particular property is absolutely stunning throughout, having been well maintained and cared for by the current owners both internally and externally. The internal colour pallet is in-keeping with the character of this home, while the exterior overlooks farmland.
This enclosed private plot has two access points into the house itself, starting from the modern kitchen diner with space for a large table, integrated appliances and granite worksurfaces, the kitchen diner leads into the central hallway off which is a large downstairs wc, two reception rooms - one offers a variety of uses as a formal dining room or sitting room while the living room has a central fireplace and opens to the study, which would also make an ideal play room.
A turning staircase to the first floor provides access to all five generous bedrooms. The landing area has the benefit of the exposed ceiling beams, as does the master bedroom, which also has a fabulous walk in wardrobe and a four piece en-suite shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom which is also fitted with a four piece white suite.
The private driveway leads to the front entrance of this wonderful home where there is parking along with a single garage, a five bar timber gate opens to the garden area which has an abundance of mature shrubs to offer an array of colour throughout the year. A timber summer house could also be used as storage or a crafts room/studio if desired.
