An attractive and beautifully appointed home, which is centrally positioned within its mature gardens on the edge of the village, with gated driveway, generous parking and detached garaging
Description
This beautifully appointed period home offers deceptively spacious accommodation, with a particularly large and vaulted drawing room as one of four reception rooms. The house is centrally positioned within gardens of just under half an acre, and house and gardens are perfectly orientated to enjoy and track sunshine. Approached through a gated driveway, and with secondary access off Sykes Lane too, the property offers generous parking, detached garaging and, with its edge of village setting, offers a high degree of privacy.
The front door opens to a porch and hardwood floored stairwell hall, which is flanked by the sitting and dining rooms and kitchen, within which the oak floors continue, as they do through most of the ground floor accommodation.
The dual aspect sitting room spans the entire width of the house, with French doors opening to the rear gardens and a wood burning stove within a period brick fireplace. The dining room, across the hallway, has a westerly facing bay window, partially panelled walls and an attractive feature brick chimney breast. The convivial room is open to the kitchen, allowing the two rooms to act as one in the core of this beautiful home.
The kitchen is fitted with a well-appointed suite, with an extensive range of wall and base units beneath granite rolled edge worktops, within which there is a double Belfast sink and integrated hob, ovens, dishwasher, wine fridge and conventional fridge and freezer appliances, together with low level LED lighting.
Accessed from the kitchen, an inner hall offers access to a symmetrical study or music room; a large checkerboard clay tile floored utility/boot room, with a cloakroom/W.C. beyond, and external rear garden access; and the drawing room.
The parquet floored, triple aspect drawing room, with vaulted ceiling is a fabulous reception room. French doors open to the garden, whilst the prominent chimney breast houses another wood burning stove. Stairs also rise to a versatile mezzanine level, which would be an amazing library reading area, and is currently furnished and used as an office.
The main staircase rises to a first floor landing that accesses the five bedrooms and family bathroom. The bedrooms are all comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, whilst the secondary bedrooms are all well placed for the modern family bathroom. Bedrooms 2 and 5 have fitted wardrobes.
Outside: Approached through a 6-bar gate, the gravelled driveway passes a parking area to the detached double garage and the turning sweep to the front of the house. The gardens, which measure approximately 0.45 of an acre, wrap around the north-east, south-west orientated home, offering ideal orientation for tracking the sun. The gardens are lawned, with mature hedgerow and treelined boundaries, ensuring privacy,with flowering borders, together with gravelled and seating terraces and a boundary brook. It's a fabulous setting and surrounded by open countryside.
