INTRODUCTION

Set in a pleasant village location with several rooms enjoying views of the Church tower, our clients brief in 2004 was to create a home with all the benefits of modern conveniences with the interior and exterior character of a period house.
The original property has been remodelled with subtle elevations using thoughtfully chosen materials to achieve their goal which include clay roof tiles, multipaned windows, solid wood doors, brick and rendered finishes all set around landscaped gardens.
The attention to detail is echoed internally with tiles by Fired Earth, solid oak flooring and staircase, ledged and braced doors with Suffolk latch ironmongery and 2.3m ceiling heights to the ground floor.
The accommodation is ideal for modern living having the essential combined kitchen, dining and family room, a formal sitting room and a quiet study providing a work from home area. Additional rooms include a stylish cloakroom and utility for every day needs.
A particular feature of the house is the generous size of the bedrooms with an impressive front to back dual aspect 6.9m main bedroom having twin wardrobes and a quality ensuite.
The specification includes white period sanitaryware, clean lined kitchen with Smeg Range cooker included, a 2.3m tall double pantry cupboard providing masses of storage, recessed spotlighting, lots of useful, easy access eaves cupboards, double glazing and gas central heating to radiators.
Outside the house is set back from the road with attractive frontage, shingle driveway with granite edging and steps, soft planting, hedging and lawns with five-bar side gate.
Designed with seating areas to take advantage of the sun as it moves around the property, the rear garden is landscaped with lawns, planted borders set around a mature corkscrew Willow.
Completing the property is a good size garage which is currently used as a gym giving an extra dimension to the house.
A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the location, quality accommodation and lifestyle opportunity on offer at
