Property description

A four double bedroom detached property with a double garage and parking for up to two cars at the rear, and gardens to the side and rear.

The property, formerly the village pub, is believed to date back to the 19th century. It has been completely refurbished by the current owners and has over 2,289 sq. ft. of modern accommodation. The entrance hall has stairs to the first floor with understairs storage and solid oak flooring which continues into both reception rooms. The sitting room measures over 26 ft. long and has a window to the front with shutters, and French doors to the garden. The dining room has a bay window to the front, also with shutters. Both rooms have feature fireplaces with a cast iron surround housing a Living Flame gas fire. The ground floor also has a cloakroom, and an open plan refitted kitchen/breakfast/family room with a built-in bar area. The first floor landing has access to four bedrooms and a fitted family bathroom. The dual aspect principal bedroom has a separate dressing room and a four piece en suite bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room

A particular feature of the property is the open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, which measures over 21 ft. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units including an island incorporating a breakfast bar, all with quartz work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an eye level oven, a combination oven/microwave, a five ring gas hob with an extractor over, a dishwasher, washing machine and a fridge/freezer. A feature archway leads to a family room and bar area for entertaining. There is complementary flooring and French doors to the rear garden.

Outside

The front is bound by wrought iron railings with a gate and pathway to the entrance door. The driveway is at the rear and is accessed off London Road at the side of the house. It provides parking for up to two cars and access to the double garage which has twin up and over doors, power, light, and eaves storage. A gated access leads to the garden which is enclosed by a combination of walling and timber panelled fencing. It is principally lawned with tree and shrub borders, and has two paved patio areas for outdoor dining and entertaining.
