ACCOMMODATION:
The properties main entrance is found on the eastern elevation, facing the tarmac driveway, and is sheltered by a recessed storm porch. In turn this opens to a large lobby providing the perfect boot room in which to store essential items required by busy families or for countryside pursuits.

The kitchen comprises a range of tastefully updated wall and base units with wood effect worktops and a stainless-steel drainer sink with mixer tap. The Aga provides ambient warmth during colder months and mains gas-fired cooking, year round. A generous separate utility room provides further fitted cabinetry and work surfaces, as well as space for appliances and laundry facilities. Moving toward the heart of the property, a hallway provides stair access to the first floor with a useful storage cupboard beneath and doors open to a shower room as well as to the remaining ground floor living space. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms enjoying plenty of natural light, with a 'snug' benefitting from sliding double doors to the south facing rear patio, and the larger dual-aspect sitting room featuring an attractive period style fireplace and stunning countryside views. A natural flexibility is offered by the current layout, to use one of the rooms as a fourth bedroom, play room or office etc.

Double beds and accompanying furniture fit comfortably into each room, with the particularly spacious master bedroom also including a number of fitted wardrobes. These rooms are served by the family bathroom which comprises a traditional three-piece suite including bath with shower attachment, wash basin over vanity and separate WC.

Sitting proudly near the centre of its almost half acre plot, gardens extend in three directions, wrapping around this unique home to provide areas of varying interest to buyers of many differing requirements. Attractive wrought-iron gates open at the eastern side to a recently resurfaced driveway providing direct access to the attached garage, as well as off-road parking for up to three cars comfortably. The driveway dissects the plot, with a path leading north from here past a large potential vegetable garden and greenhouse, eventually linking with a second gravel driveway and range of garaging/outbuildings benefiting from its own vehicular access. Beyond this is a further enclosed 'secret garden' which could be landscaped for a range of uses. On the southern side of the property, a large raised patio spans the full width, offering a private sun-soaked spot in which to entertain and take in the wonderful views. A large landscaped garden sweeps around this part of the plot, formed from well-tended lawns, mature trees, shrubs, stocked borders and a nature pond. Completing the plot is a secluded and sheltered terrace found on the western side of the property, accessed via an external pathway or directly from the utility room.
