Description
This spacious and versatile property offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout. Entry is via a newly installed front door (fitted in 2023) into a welcoming porch, which leads into the main hallway with a staircase rising to the first floor.
To the right of the hallway is a bright and comfortable sitting room with views over the front aspect. This room also features a wood-burning stove. The sitting room flows through to the dining room, a later addition to the property dating from the 1960s/70s, which benefits from sliding patio doors opening into a lean-to, providing further access to the garden.
Also accessed from the sitting room is the kitchen, which enjoys views over the rear garden and is fitted with a range of base and wall units, a Calor gas hob, and an electric oven. A utility area extends from the kitchen and includes a shelving, space for appliances, and a rear door leading out to the garden. Off the utility is a walk-in pantry offering useful additional storage.
The property also retains its original kitchen/laundry room, which includes further base and wall units, a cupboard housing the immersion heater for the downstairs water supply and to the additional ground floor rooms. From this space, access is provided to a secondary hallway with another rear entrance. Off this hallway is a ground-floor bathroom equipped with a shower, WC, and washbasin. An additional reception room, which could serve as a dining room or bedroom, overlooks the front of the property, providing flexibility for a variety of uses. A separate office or storage room leads into a conservatory, which enjoys garden views and direct outdoor access.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing offers views over the rear garden. The principal bedroom is a generous double room with both front and side aspect views. It includes a wardrobe, which will remain with the property, and a built-in cupboard housing the immersion tank which is the water supply to the main house. There is also shelving for additional storage. The family bathroom comprises a bath with shower over, WC, and washbasin. The second bedroom is another spacious double with front and side views, a built-in storage cupboard above the stairs with hanging space, and access to the loft. The loft is fully insulated and boarded, offering excellent storage potential. The third bedroom is a single room currently used as an office, with views over the rear garden.
Exterior:
The property is set within an attractive and well-maintained plot extending to approximately 0.35 acres (subject to measurement). The gardens are mature and well-established, featuring an abundance of flower beds and borders that offer year-round interest. To the front and side of the property, a concrete driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, while a secondary entrance is located at the far end of the garden, adding convenience and accessibility.
There is an attached single garage with an up-and-over door, as well as two detached double garages situated at either end of the garden, ideal for storage, workshops, or additional parking. A patio area to the rear offers a perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation, with pleasant views across the surrounding fields. Additional outbuildings include a greenhouse (with the septic tank located beneath), the original pump house currently used for storage, a woodshed, and a workshop.
