Description
Internally the accommodation is bright and airy, having a large dining kitchen and two good-sized living rooms with high ceilings, original coving and picture rails. The kitchen is amply equipped with cream base and wall units, display cabinets, contrasting work surface, slate-effect flooring and built-in fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The formal front lounge has large windows, a chimney breast with insert for a fire or stove, shelved alcoves and warm natural oak flooring which extends through to the hall and the rear sitting room. This latter room is a lovely bright space with double doors that frame the patio and mature gardens beyond. A vestibule entrance at the back of the house leads to a wide staircase with natural light provided by an overhead lightwell and a spacious landing, some 30ft long, with four good-sized bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC leading off.
The private rear garden is a peaceful haven that overlooks the valley beyond. It extends to approximately 128ft (39 meters) and includes patio and seating areas, sunny lawns, shed, timber greenhouse and raised beds. Planting includes formal and wildlife friendly areas, fruit trees and bushes with lots of opportunity for home grown produce.
Externally to the front there is off-road parking and a concrete sectional shed for storage.
The location offers easy walking access to the town centre and railway station as well as breathtaking open countryside. The best of both worlds in this beautiful town.
