Description
Allfreys is an attractive character cottage in a discreet tucked-away, no-through location, thought to date from 1930 to 1940 and built of sandstone and brick under a clay tile roof.
Our selling clients have enjoyed living here for almost 25 years and over time have carried-out extensive updating and modernisation works, with the property today being very well presented both inside and out. Downstairs, there is a well fitted modern kitchen opening through to a family room, with matching tiled flooring. This has oak units and granite work surfaces and with the focus point being a two oven Aga with a built in extractor hood above. In addition, Bosch appliances include an electric oven and two ring hob, an integral dishwasher and a recessed fridge/freezer. A back door from here opens to a pretty, planted walled garden area, with two nearby terraces.
The family room has a built-in display unit to one wall, incorporating a breakfast bar or work desk. There are two further linked rooms to the other side of the house, one being the oak panelled dining room and the other being the sitting room, which has French doors to the garden. This has a wood burning stove and a secondary staircase leading directly up to the principal bedroom.
Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms are neatly fitted, with the principal bedroom having the benefit of a dressing room or a fourth bedroom, accessed from the en suite shower room and the landing, up from the main staircase.
Outside, the detached timber garage has individual double doors with a tiled floor and rafter storage, plus power and lighting. To the rear of the house, there is a delightful mature lawn garden with screening and planted borders including a variety of trees, laurels and mixed hedging, with a raised brick block terrace by the house, accessed via the French doors from the sitting room. This garden benefits from a water reservoir disguised as an old, feature well. Also, there is a second terrace with a delightful brick wall behind, which continues along behind the house, to a third terrace at the side of the garage. Both the house and garden benefit from outside remote control lighting.
Arches through this wall leads to an adjoining fenced paddock of about 0.69 of an acre, with tall screening and with two small field shelters, linked by a covered overhang between. This field has a separate gated access out to the lane and across here, there is access to a further large field of about 4.69 acres, included in the sale, with another field shelter.
