Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
The fine cross-passage hallway leads to an inner hall which gives access to the principal ground floor rooms. At the western end of the house, a large drawing room has been modified to provide a living room with an adjoining kitchen and a south-facing garden room and designed to be suitable for elderly parents to enjoy semi-independent living (there is an adjacent separate WC). In addition to this room is a sitting room and a fabulous dining room with the inglenook fireplace. This leads to an attractively fitted kitchen with a range cooker. Beyond this is a boot room, a utility room, and a wet room with under-floor heating. There are two separate staircases accessing the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a free-standing clawfoot bath. The light and airy master bedroom enjoys a triple-aspect and a host of exposed beams.
Outside are front and rear gardens, south facing to the rear where there are raised beds and a verandah. There is plenty of parking in front of the barn (which is attached to the neighbour's barn) which is subdivided into two good-sized workshops and a garage. The loft space above this is accessed by a staircase and provides additional useful space. On the eastern side of the house and behind the barn is a paddock providing valuable amenity space ideal for children and pets, and an aluminium greenhouse.
The house has mains water and electricity. There is oil fired central heating and a recently installed private drainage treatment unit.
