There is so much more to this home that originally meets the eye - once through the door you will be greeted by well laid out, bright and spacious accommodation that extends to 1688 sq. ft (157 sq. m) of flexible living space. The property enjoys a secure, tucked away position at the end of a private road that serves just four other properties and is situated where town and country merge. Within a short walk there is the Hillbrush museum and restaurant, where you can pop in for coffee and cake or a full meal with the town centre being a little further on in the opposite direction.

The development was built in 2004, in the grounds of an old farmyard and incorporates the old stone wall to mark the boundary on one side of the drive. The yard was also used as storage for the local wine merchant and with this in mind, all the properties have names connected to French wines. The property has been the very much cherished and enjoyed home of our sellers for the last eighteen years. It provides ample space for comfortable living and is an ideal purchase for those looking to downsize on external space without compromising on internal accommodation.

There are four double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room and two large reception rooms. The sitting room has a feature fireplace and is perfect for relaxing with family or entertaining friends and the formal dining room has plenty of space for a study area or could be used as a bedroom - catering to changing lifestyle needs. For those that prefer informal meals, the large kitchen offers a great social space with ample room for a large dining table and chairs and is ideal for hosting family get togethers or a party with friends.

Outside, the private garden has been designed to allow you to relax and unwind without too much upkeep and there is plenty of parking and a large garage.

This home must be viewed to truly appreciate all that it has to offer as well as the location.
