Oakfields extends to in excess of 2,600 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation set over two floors. The current owners have undertaken a schedule of modernisation including new windows and doors, fascias, upgraded electrics, central heating, and a hot water system. They have also built a replacement 23 ft by over 16 ft. outbuilding with an upgraded power supply. In addition to the above improvements, the house has three separate reception rooms and a refitted kitchen and utility room. There is new flooring throughout, and a modern feature fireplace with a wood burning stove in the sitting room. Accessed from a staircase with an understairs cupboard in the entrance hall, which also accesses a cloakroom, is the galleried first floor landing with a study area. Five bedrooms lead off the landing, one of which is en suite, and there are two bathrooms. There is LPG central heating and a right of way to access the property at the rear.
