The property is an attractive, semi-detached unlisted period property offering flexible and characterful family accommodation arranged over three floors with the benefit of a first floor living room enjoying fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. The property is believed to date back to circa 1890 and was originally an American oast which was converted and divided into two dwellings in the mid 1980s.

The entrance hall gives access to two reception rooms on the ground floor. To one side there is a dining room with double doors to the front, and an office with fitted shelves and cupboards as well as a window and door to the side.

The country style kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted storage cupboards, space for a table, a pantry and utility area. There is also a door leading out to the rear terrace and beautiful garden.

On the first floor there is a double aspect living room with windows to the front and side taking advantage of the wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. On this level, there is also a w.c. as well as a bedroom with beautifully appointed en suite bathroom.

Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are three further (one with en suite shower room) as well as a family shower room. The landing also gives access to a large, boarded loft providing useful storage.

Outside, the house is approached over a gravel driveway leading to the house and off-road parking area. A second entrance from the access lane leads to a further parking area as well as a detached single garage with a car port to the side and an attached garden store.

To the rear of the house there is a paved terrace providing the perfect area for al fresco dining. The delightful garden is enclosed on all sides and is laid to lawn with a multitude of mature shrubs, plants and trees. There is also a vegetable area and, at the bottom of the garden, a lovely conservatory with a door into the attached garage.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
