THE PROPERTY
With two conventional entrance ways into the property, the sellers utilize the rear access which is beside the gated driveway. The downstairs layout is particularly flexible and surprisingly spacious, with three reception rooms, a modern kitchen and a downstairs shower room.

There are numerous period features in this area, including a wood burning stove, exposed stone and timbers, and window seats. Beside the living room, a beautifully crafted orangery boasts a vaulted ceiling and is connected to the kitchen by a breakfast bar. Skylights and windows to both external aspects ensure a vast amount natural light flood the space and French doors open onto the rear garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with integrated double electric ovens and electric hobs, as well as plenty of space and plumbing for additional appliances. Accessed by an inner hallway is a reception room which is currently set up as an office/snug. This is a particularly versatile room given that it sits beside a well-proportioned shower room, offering potential to be utilised as a ground floor bedroom if so desired.

Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the house and benefits from fitted wardrobes and picturesque views across the village lane to the front. Bedroom two is a further double, also having two sets of fitted wardrobes and sharing the same views to the front. Bedroom three is another generously proportioned double room, which leads through to a tastefully-fitted three-piece bathroom suite with a shower fitted over the bath. A very useful and easily accessible storage space is the boarded loft which sits above the ground floor snug.

OUTSIDE
Being a wonderfully charming area, the garden has been lovingly planted and maintained over the years. A patio sits beyond the orangery, which flows nicely toward the detached garage and adjoining wood store.
