Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (10 sq m). To the left of the entrance hall a door opens to the dual-aspect sitting room (26 sq m) with fireplace with an insert style wood burning fire and three tall windows. To the right of the entrance hall, another door opens to the dual-aspect dining room, which again has tall windows. The ceilings in the reception rooms are over 3 metres high. To the rear of the sitting room hall, a glazed door opens to the large farmhouse-style kitchen (25 sq m) with fitted units, exposed beams and a family dining area. Two sets of glazed doors open out of the kitchen in the gardens. One opens onto the courtyard garden and the other to the main garden and parking area.

Another door in the kitchen leads to a corridor off which is a guest WC (with washbasin) and the master bedroom (27 sq m). This large bedroom has views over the courtyard garden, is carpeted and has fitted wardrobes to one wall and an ensuite bathroom (13 sq m) with a bath, shower, washbasin and WC.

At the far end of the corridor there is access to the study (15 sq m), a storeroom (29 sq m), boiler room (10 sq m) and a utility area, which includes a summer kitchen (9 sq m). A steep set of stairs leads up to a large attic area (80 sq m), which could be converted into further accommodation if required (subject to suitable permissions).

First floor

A wooden flight of stairs rises from the main entrance hall to the first floor landing. Off the landing are two bedrooms. One bedroom (20 sq m) has two windows to the front of the house with fine countryside views. There is a large built in cupboard for storage and an en-suite shower room (shower, washbasin and WC). The second bedroom (10.4 sq m) also has fine views and a private shower room (9 sq m) with shower, washbasin and WC.

Outbuildings

Attached to the house is a good size outbuilding with workshop and plenty of storage space.

Gardens

The property sits on a plot of 4360 sq m. To one side of the house is a large gravel area (ideal for parking) which leads onto a large paved terrace to the side of the house (accessed via the kitchen). Beyond the parking area is a more garden (mainly left to lawn). To the other side of the house is a delightful courtyard garden (also accessible directly from the kitchen). There is a lovely covered terrace (ideal for outside dining). This part of the garden leads onto another section of garden, currently used as a vegetable garden (complete with raised beds). Beyond this a part of the garden is dedicated to a large above ground pool.

This is a large property which has been well converted and maintained to provide an extremely comfortable home (benefitting from central heating, double-glazing and broadband internet).
