A spacious family home located in a sought after village.

Description

Bilbrook is an outstanding architecturally designed family home in the popular hamlet of Nags Head which sits to the east of the village of Avening.

Internally there is a welcoming hall which gives direct access into the garage and the stairs to the first floor. On the first floor is the majority of your living space which benefits from outstanding views and ample natural light. This floor has a spacious kitchen/ breakfast room, large sitting room and an additional reception room which is currently used as a study. There are also three access doors on this floor to the outside into various different areas of the garden. On the second floor there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is of significant merit and has dual aspect views and a spacious en-suite.

Externally there is parking at the front for a number of cars along with mature gardens and grounds which have been beautifully landscaped by the current owners. Due to the house having no direct neighbours at either the front or the back this house benefits from being very private and having all the peace and quiet one would expect from a country house in such a position.
