As soon as you walk in and close the front door you’re transported into another world. The hustle and bustle of the outside world disappears, the corridor has a door to the left that leads into the main areas of the house, just beyond is the first ‘servant’s’ staircase up to the master bedroom and family bathroom, just beyond is the downstairs cloakroom and at the end is the kitchen leading to the utility room and access to the single garage.
The refitted utility room has been designed to house all the white goods - washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridge and freezer as well as a full length oak worktop with an abundance of plug sockets to cater for all your electrical devices such as food mixers, bread maker, microwave, air fryer, toaster, coffee and hot chocolate maker etc. A large Belfast sink with separate draining board and extendable mixer tap complete the look. There is a stable door out to the garden, with steps opposite the door onto the lawn, and a step to the right onto the greenhouse patio.
On the opposite side of the room to the garden stable door is a fire door through to the single garage where there is additional storage and a wood store. A single door at the back leads out into the enclosed courtyard behind the greenhouse, and an up and over door to the front which leads to a paved driveway for 2 cars, a set of wooden gates allows a car on either side.
The kitchen itself is the heart of home, with a rangemaster gas cooker with two ovens, plate warmer, hot plate and grill, in addition there is an eye level Neff electric oven and grill which offers the ability to prove, steam as well as bake and grill. With an abundance of worktops, cupboard space as well as a double sink with mixer tap, a breakfast bar, natural light from the two large east facing windows and beautiful views of the garden, this really is ideal for family life and those that love to entertain.
Back to the corridor and the downstairs cloakroom is fitted with a low level WC and hand basin, with plenty of room to hang all the family coats.
Then on beyond the 'servant's' stairs and off to the right into the first reception room which is currently set up as a ‘snug/office’ - perfect for just sitting and reading, or for those that need to work from home, with a large north facing window to the front of the property which provides lovely light, and large wooden shutters for perfect privacy at night, there is a fireplace that currently houses an electric log effect fire which adds to the coziness in the winter.
Beyond the central fireplace you open out into the dining room which is bathed in light and has an open fire which creates the perfect atmosphere in the cold winter months. There is a south facing bay to the rear with patio doors that open out onto the garden and a large north facing window to the front of the property with large wooden shutters for perfect privacy at night, allowing the outside to come in during the balmy summer months. There are two doors leading out of the dining room - one at each end of the room, the dining room door at the front of the house leads through to a vestibule with three doors.
On the left is the second, larger front door which is perfect for bringing large items into the house.
A door to the right leads down to the cellar which has restricted headroom and is currently used as a cool storage for the likes of wood and wine.
The door ahead leads to the lounge which has a beautiful large south facing sash window out onto the garden which really brings summer into the room, as well as a large north window to the front of the property with a window seat to sit and read or watch the world go by. Both windows have folding louvre shutters. The fireplace houses a log burner which completes the look and provides the perfect coziness in the winter months.
The dining room door at the back of the house leads to another vestibule with a stable door to the right which leads into the back garden, and on the left the ‘main’ staircase which leads to the first floor. There is a lapsed building consent for creating a new doorway into the living room straight ahead of the dining room door which would provide added versatility should you wish.
At the top of the main stairs the door to the right leads into double bedroom 2 with a walk-in wardrobe above the staircase double aspect.

Double bedroom 3 has built in shelving in the eves and a south facing velux window - bathing the room in natural light and perfect for star gazing at night without having to be outside!
At the other end there is the potential for another double bedroom which currently is used as an additional living space. It also has a south facing velux window bathing the room in natural light and views of the garden and to the countryside on the horizon.
The attic space would suit a teenager looking for their own space within the family home, with one side a double bedroom and the other side a living space / study area.
Back down the stairs to the first floor and next along the landing is double bedroom 5 with two built in cupboards, again lots of natural south facing light with beautiful views of the garden and is currently being used as a spare bedroom
The landing has two large north facing windows with folding shutters and each window has a window seat, perfect for sitting and reading, or watching the world go by.
At the end of the landing there is an alcove, currently housing a variety of books followed by the door into the family bathroom.
The family bathroom is a Jack ‘n’ Jill bathroom being the link between the two sides of the house. It has been completely, and tastefully renovated to provide a modern, stylish room with a sympathetic nod to the age of the property. A large westerly facing sash window with Sycamore leaf frosting for privacy, bathes the room in natural light, especially in the evenings. There is a modern high-level toilet, free-standing roll-top bath with free-standing taps and shower head, a large shower cubicle with raindrop shower head, a large airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and an abundance of shelving, and coloured mood indirect LED lighting provides the perfect relaxing environment.
Out the other side of the bathroom you arrive at the top of the ‘servant’s’ stairs to the left, with a small landing leading to the boiler room on the left which is currently used as storage.
The door straight ahead leads to the master bedroom 1 which has an abundance of natural light due to the two large east facing sash windows, especially in the morning. The room boasts two shallow storage areas on either side of the chimney as well as an abundance of space for free-standing wardrobes and dressing table.
At the far end of the bedroom is the ensuite again recently renovated, and is now beautifully designed exposing the original height of the ceiling, a large shower cubicle with raindrop shower head, sink, toilet and hands-free light-up shaving mirror cupboard with power shaving socket. The room is bathed in an abundance of light from the dual east and south aspect sash windows.
Outside, the south facing ‘L’ shaped garden of approx 0.07 of an acre (283.3 m² or 3049.2 ft²), was completely transformed ten years ago and now offers a fantastic extra living space for entertaining and being at one with nature, whilst at the same time offering a taste of the ‘good life’ for the those with green fingers. Along with the raised veg beds and a greenhouse, the garden is well stocked with fruit trees; a historic eating apple, a historic (and the best) plums you’re ever likely to taste, a kiwi, 2 varieties of pears, the most delicious apricot, rhubarb, 3 varieties of gooseberries, a redcurrant, a blackcurrant, raspberries, strawberries, a fig and a hazelnut as well as a rosemary and a juniper. There are four different areas for seating in the garden: by the house with a large patio for alfresco dining and bbq, at the bottom of the garden on a raised patio (currently housing a garden swing seat, but could equally be perfect for a hot tub), in the ‘woodland’ with a bench to enjoy being amongst the trees and shade, as well as a smaller courtyard patio area just behind the greenhouse at the end of the building, which has a gate for access to/from the main garden and a door into the garage. The courtyard has tubs on the fence with a variety of herbs and solar lights on the wall. There is also a large lawn - perfect for the kids to play, and a rockery on the edge of the ‘woodland’ where there is also a compost area. Water butts adorn all corners of the house, and there is a deep well in the woodland area which is perfect for additional water for the veg (the water has been tested and is not suitable for drinking but is perfect for the veg).
All but the kitchen windows are secondary glazed, all windows on the front of the property also have wooden shutters, providing that extra level of coziness, particularly in the winter!
If you’re looking for space, versatility, character yet functional, modern and only a short walk from the town centre, this property is for you as it has it all.
