A storm porch opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, which sets the tone for the rest of the house.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of floor and wall units, timber worktops, and a one and a half bowl sink. A Rangemaster cooker (electric oven with gas hob), extractor fan, integrated dishwasher and fridge, and a breakfast bar completes the space, which also enjoys lovely outlooks to the rear.

The first floor offers five bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, while a modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A cupboard on the landing houses the hot water cylinder.

Garden And Outbuildings

Applewood is approached from the lane via two sets of double gates, opening onto a generous gravelled driveway and parking area. An integrated double garage with up-and-over door provides additional parking and storage, and houses the oil-fired boiler serving the central heating and domestic hot water. The garage is equipped with light and power.

The property is surrounded by well-tended gardens on all sides, predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with flower and shrub borders. A rear patio offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, and there are also two greenhouses for the keen gardener.

A five-bar gate from the driveway leads through to the paddocks and agricultural barn, the latter benefiting from power and lighting. The paddocks, which are mainly to the rear, are enclosed by post-and-rail and stock fencing, gently sloping down to a river, which forms the boundary of the land. In total, the grounds extend to approximately 3.00 acres.
