An opportunity to purchase an interesting, individual, cottage style home which offers the characteristics of a more traditional property but with the benefits of more modern construction, creating an attractive, double fronted property in a prominent position within this small hamlet.
The property occupies an attractive, established plot overlooking the village green and affords superb, panoramic views to the front, having a considerable level of off road parking, a generous garage and attractive, well stocked gardens at the rear.
Internally the property offers a versatile level of accommodation large enough to accommodate families but would appeal to a wider audience, whether it be professional couples or even those downsizing from larger dwellings looking for an interesting, individual detached home within a village setting.
The accommodation has been tastefully modernised having an attractive contemporary kitchen fitted with a generous range of units and integrated appliances with a utility and ground floor cloak room off. In addition there are three further reception areas providing formal dining, a homely snug with log burning stove and a spacious main sitting room which benefits from a dual aspect as well as an attractive part pitched ceiling with exposed timbers. In addition a small conservatory at the rear provides a useful entrance porch and access out into the garden.
From a central hallway a staircase rises to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, the master of which benefits from ensuite facilities, and a separate bathroom. The two front bedrooms benefit from wonderful elevated, panoramic views to the front.
The property has relatively neutral decoration, oil fired central heating and the majority UPVC double glazing.
Overall this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an individual home in a delightful location.
