The House

You enter the house into a useful porch which is a perfect space for coats and shoes. Through from the porch leads into the hallway from where all of the ground floor rooms radiate. The hallway is large enough for occasional pieces of furniture to be positioned and is where the stairs to the first floor rise. The sitting room is to the right of the hallway and faces the front of the house. It has a large log burning stove set within an attractive brick fireplace – perfect for those colder months. The sitting room is open to the dining room which overlooks the rear garden and has double French doors opening out onto the rear terrace. There is solid oak flooring throughout the hallway, dining and sitting rooms. The kitchen is well appointed and offers a very practical space even for the keener chef. There is a useful utility room off the kitchen which offers space for fridges and freezers and has plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen has a door which opens into a 24ft x 11ft garden room. This room offers fantastic views over the garden and woodland beyond with two doors either end opening out onto the garden. The space has part underfloor heating and is insulated so can be used all year round and can accommodate an array of different furniture allowing this space to be used in a variety of different ways. The downstairs cloakroom consisting of a WC and wash hand basin is off the garden room.

The last room on the ground floor is the 15ft x 10ft study/playroom/hobby room with windows facing the front and side. It is an extremely multi-functional room which could also be used as a downstairs bedroom if desired.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor where four bedrooms and two bath and shower rooms can be found. The main master bedroom is a large light double aspect room measuring 18ft x 11ft. It offers glorious views over open fields and your own private woodland at the rear. The master en-suite has a shower cubicle with rain shower head, WC and wash hand basin. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are good sized double bedrooms which both have built in wardrobes and both orientate to the front. Bedroom 4 is more realistically a single bedroom or an office and has built in wardrobes and storage cupboard above.

The main bathroom faces the rear and has a bath with shower over, wash hand basin with storage cupboards under, and another storage unit. The WC is next door to the bathroom which could be reconfigured and included within the bathroom if desired. There is also a large storage cupboard on the landing.

Outside

There is a five bar gate at the front and driveway which provides off road parking for three vehicles. There is a 19ft x 9ft single garage with doors which open out onto the driveway and a door at the rear opening onto the garden. The garage could be converted into another living space with access from the study/playroom/hobby room if desired. There could also be potential for a second storey to be built on top of the garage (subject to necessary planning) to enlarge the master bedroom further if desired.

There is a vegetable plot and log store to the side of the house. The side area of the house provides enough space for a side extension to be built if desired.

The rear garden is one of certain selling points of this property and is it beautiful to look out onto, and also exceptionally secluded and private. There are a variety of different seating areas throughout the garden which all capitalise on the south facing orientation including a large terrace at the rear which allows for a variety of outside furniture to be positioned – perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is a flat piece of lawn at the back of the house with two sets on stone steps which lead down to the lower tier of the garden. Here another flat piece of lawn can be found which is perfect for a variety of sports equipment including football goals and trampolines. There is a large attractive pond teeming with fish and other wildlife. There is an area to the side with compost sections and a wooden shed. There is a small bridge which leads over the meandering stream to the property’s own private woodland. Approximately 1⁄4 acre of woodland comes with the sale and there are approximately two acres attached to this which can be available to purchase by separate agreement.
