Property description

A 19th century four bedroom detached property on the edge of the village with established gardens of just under 0.65 acres and open views over fields.

The property originally dates from the 1840s and has been extended including double glazing throughout apart from the front porch. It now has 2,236 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation over two floors. On the ground floor there are three principal reception rooms, and a study and garden room which both have doors to the rear garden. There is also a cloakroom and an open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor landing has a built-in cupboard and an airing cupboard, and gives access to four bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom. At the front there is off street parking for up to four cars leading to the attached double garage which has two pairs of timber double doors, power connected and a side door. The wrap around gardens are fully enclosed by mature hedgerow and trees providing screening and privacy.

Reception Rooms

The family room has dual aspect windows, exposed ceiling beams, a stone fireplace and stairs to the first floor. An opening leads to a dining room. The dual aspect sitting room has exposed painted ceiling beams, an exposed oak parquet floor, a recessed fireplace housing a log burning stove and glazed double doors to the rear garden. The study has a range of fitted bookshelves, a built-in cloaks cupboard and glazed sliding doors to the rear garden. The garden room also has glazed doors to the rear garden.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a range of solid wooden cabinets with complementary work surfaces, and space and plumbing for a variety of appliances. There is an integrated oil fired Aga and a freestanding oil fired boiler serving the heating and hot water systems. Dual aspect windows overlook the gardens to the front and side.

Gardens

The gardens are principally lawned with a variety of mature trees, plants, and shrubs inset. The garden is separated into sections by mature hedgerow. There is a mature orchard with a variety of apple, pear and other fruit trees, an established vegetable garden, and a built-in canopied barbeque area. Outbuildings include a detached workshop/garden machinery store with two pairs of double doors, a potting shed and a summerhouse which occupies a central position in the garden.
