Property description

A 1920s extended three double bedroom detached property with driveway parking and enclosed gardens with views over open countryside to the rear and side.

The property has been refurbished and remodelled by the current owners including a two storey extension at the side. It now has approximately 2,031 sq. ft. of modern accommodation. The main entrance hall has stairs to the first floor and provides access to both reception rooms. An opening from the family room/study leads into a walkway in the extension which leads to a kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors to the rear garden allowing a free flow through the space for modern family life and entertaining. There is also a utility room and a walk-in pantry on the ground floor. The first floor landing has a full height windows overlooking the side and rear paddocks and a built-in cupboard. There are three bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom and separate WC. The principal bedroom has a separate dressing room and an en suite shower room. Electric double gates lead into a gravel driveway providing parking and the front is enclosed by mature trees and hedges for screening and privacy.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room has a feature open fireplace with a wooden surround and tiled hearth, a picture rail, and exposed wooden floorboards. It is dual aspect and has double glazed French doors to the rear garden. A door from the entrance hall leads into the family room which has an open feature fireplace with fitted cupboards and shelves either side. There is also a fitted bookcase. An opening leads into the study which overlooks the rear garden. Both areas have a combination of wooden floorboards and red brick flooring.

Kitchen/Dining Room

A particular feature of the property is the open plan kitchen/dining room which measures over 19 ft. by nearly 18ft. The kitchen has a range of units with granite work surfaces and engineered wood flooring. The central island has a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a double oven, a dishwasher, and a coffee machine, and there is space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer. Natural light is provided by dual aspect windows in addition to the bi-fold doors to the rear garden.

Rear Garden

The rear garden is enclosed by timber panelled fencing and is principally lawned with flower and shrub borders and trees interspersed. There is a paved seating area and a raised wooden decking area both providing ample space for tables and chairs for relaxing or al fresco entertaining, and there is also a timber summerhouse.
