A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has a window to the side and steps up to an inner door that leads through to the hall. The hall is L-shaped and gives access to the majority of the ground floor accommodation, as well as incorporating a built-in storage cupboard. To the left of the hall is the breakfast room, which has a large picture window to the front of the property and contains the staircase to the first floor. For those who work from home, this versatile room could equally be utilised as a home office. The kitchen/dining room has been recently reconfigured by the current owners to maximise the space on offer, creating a spacious area for a table and chairs. The kitchen itself is dual aspect and is fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units. Within the kitchen is a newly fitted boiler for the gas-fired central heating. We understand the AGA pictured is not included in the sale. To the rear of the kitchen/dining room is a useful utility area, which has an external door to the side and access to the downstairs bathroom and a separate WC.
The sitting room is located at the opposite end of the property and is a generous size, with an attractive central fireplace and an inset wood-burning stove providing an ideal focal point. The sitting room is also dual aspect, with a window to the side and a set of sliding doors to the front, taking in a lovely view of The Blessed Virgin Mary Church and open countryside beyond. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor including the master bedroom which has an en-suite shower room, plus a good size single adjoining.
On the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, one double and one single, both with windows to the front and a pleasant outlook. Additional storage can be found in the eaves.
