What the current owners say about the property:

“We have loved living here since it was new and particularly enjoy living in a comfortable modern home with the benefits of a rural lifestyle, whilst having all amenities within easy reach on foot or short distance by car. 

We enjoy entertaining family and friends in the open-plan kitchen dining room and living room. The outside office room provides a peaceful location to work from home, with a good internet connection and looking out to the garden.

There are beautiful walks and great cycle routes from our doorstep without having to get in the car.  It’s a short stroll to the well-stocked village shop (2 minutes on foot) to pick up a fresh loaf of bread or sweet treat. On Thursdays, there are wood-fired pizzas on sale from the village hall car park and every other Friday a fish and chip van outside the pub.”

Accommodation

 The properties in Apple Meadow were finished in 2017 and have quickly become popular given their proximity to all of the village's amenities including the village hall, village stores, pub, park, primary school, pre-school and church which are all within a short walk. 

Likewise, the countryside is equally close and there are many lovely footpaths just a short distance from its doorstep. 

The small and exclusive development also enjoys plenty of green space with a play area a stone's throw from the house which is great for young families. There are also allotments available to rent. 

During the owners' tenure, they have made many improvements to the property to advance the accommodation beyond the standard from when first constructed. Most notable is the impressive partial garage conversion which has recently been completed which provides additional versatile space and is ideally suited to home office use. Storage has been retained too for bicycles, camping equipment and any garden paraphernalia. 

The front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall where there is a cloakroom on the left-hand side, the kitchen ahead, and the sitting room on the right-hand side. The kitchen dining room is well designed and fitted out with quality sleek gloss units and quartz worktops above. There is a Smeg gas hob with an extractor above and a mid-level electric oven. In addition, there is an integrated fridge/freezer and ample room and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine underneath the units. From the dining area, French doors lead out to the garden. 

Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master enjoys an en-suite shower room and a built-in wardrobe. 

The second and third bedrooms both enjoy delightful country outlooks of the fields behind. Off the landing, there are two cupboards and access to the loft. 

Outside

At the rear of the house, there is a lovely landscaped garden which is fully enclosed, enjoying a good degree of privacy. There is a neatly maintained lawn which is surrounded by deep borders full of flowers and shrubbery. 

At the northern corner of the garden, there is the home office, and in front of the main garage door, there is ample driveway parking for two cars.
