This property occupies a wonderful, tucked away, private road position, shared by just four other exclusive homes and centrally located within this highly sought-after village. The current owners have transformed the house with a programme of expansion and full refurbishment resulting in a spacious, well planned and beautifully presented accommodation.

There is a dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace housing a cast iron wood burning stove. In addition there is a good size study/playroom, a family room and a handy utility room.

The kitchen is fitted with ample bespoke solid wood cabinetry with granite matt black leather finish work surfaces, a breakfast bar, integral dishwasher, American style fridge freezer, six ring gas range with extractor over.

Upstairs, off the galleried landing are four double bedrooms, three of which boast en suite facilities and a family bathroom with bath tub.

Outside, the vendor has recently gravelled the driveway to extend the parking area to accommodate at least six cars plus the double garage with two electric powered doors, power and light connected. Gated access leads to the mature and private formal rear garden laid mainly to manicured and shape lawns with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds. There are a selection of both specimen and fruit bearing trees, mature bushes and shrubs and a generous paved patio area, ideal for summer evening entertaining. There is gated access to a lawned side garden, an ideal position for fruit, vegetable and herb gardens. Beyond the side garden is an additional piece of land, approximately half an acre, which includes a wooded area and a wildlife pasture, which is a perfect place for children to explore and play.
