The Property
Stepping through the front door we are welcomed by the entrance porch of this charming home, to our left we find a superb coat and boot cupboard whilst a door opens to the sitting room. The sitting room is a superbly proportioned room, a window to the front aspect fills the space with natural light whilst an open fire offers a cosy focal point, from here we flow open plan through the inner hallway where another window grabs the light and we find the airing cupboard. A door opens to the shower room where a modern suite is complemented by tiled walls and offers a shower, w/c and wash basin set on an attractive vanity unit. Back in the hall we push open a door to the kitchen where the overall standard of finish comes into its own. Superbly planned and beautifully finished we find a range of modern units set against polished white quartz worktops and contrasting tiled flooring. A double butler style sink is inset below a picture window looking onto the frontage whilst at the rear we look through the dining/sun room to the stunning rear gardens. A fitted double oven, hob and extractor feature along with an integral fridge freezer. A door opens to the dining/sun room which makes the two spaces work as one perfect for family life and entertaining alike. From here a door opens to the gardens. Stepping back through the the house an inner lobby leads from the sitting room where our stairs rise to the first floor and we find the ground floor bedroom, this versatile room offers a surprisingly good space that enjoys a view onto the rear aspect. Climbing the stairs to the first floor landing we pass a further window which continues the theme of natural light found throughout. At the rear bedroom two looks onto the gardens whilst at the front the exceptional master bedroom offers no compromise on space and looks onto the rolling field views opposite.

Garden & Grounds

The driveway offers ample off road parking which is set to the side of the plot. A path leads us to the front of the house where an attractive paved area leads from the kitchen whilst a path leads to the front door and continues to the side of the property giving gated access to the rear gardens. The front garden has been beautifully planned and is stocked with a range of perennial flowers and ever green shrubs that fill the space with colour and scent. At the rear the plot comes into its own and we fully appreciate the thought and time the vendors have taken creating a stunning yet low maintenance space. A generous patio leads us to a delightful external dining area which is framed with trellis covered with a variety of scented climbing plants. A path leads us through the extensive lawns which are framed with a variety of planted beds.
