Walkthrough

A paved path leads past borders of flowers and mature shrubs to the front door of this four-bed family home. The door opens into a wood floored entrance hall with the kitchen in front, the lounge to the right and stairs to the first floor to the left.
Heading into the lounge, the size of the space is immediately striking. At 29 foot long, the room opens via bifold doors directly onto the garden, and again via sliding doors through to the sunroom it is as if the garden, sunroom, and lounge are one big living space. This makes for an incredibly versatile property; in its current configuration it is acting as a lounge-diner and has plenty of space for a six-seater dining table as well as a seating area with two sofas and armchairs. The quality is also apparent, with solid wood floors throughout the lounge and a feature fireplace. The sunroom, which is accessed through a sliding door from the lounge, looks out both over a fields and the rear garden. It provides additional access to both the garden and the side of the house.
The kitchen, located off the entrance hall is also a good-sized room offering a range of options for configuration as a potential kitchen-diner or breakfast room. It is well fitted with modern high and low units and offers plenty of worksurface space. The kitchen includes a Neff double oven, integrated Neff gas hob and integrated Zanussi fridge and dishwasher. With windows on two walls and double doors opening to the side of the property by the sunroom it offers plenty of natural light and views over both the fields and the garden. The flooring in the kitchen has not been completed as the vendor thinks that it would be best for the new owners to decide what is installed. A utility room off the kitchen offers additional work surfaces and units, an additional sink, space for fridge-freezer and space, plumbing and electrics for washing machine. A passage leads from the utility past a downstairs WC to the back door.
Following a white, wooden banister upstairs leads to a landing that connects the property’s four bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom, much like the downstairs rooms, is luxurious in the amount of space it offers. It includes an ensuite shower room and, with dual aspect windows, offers plenty of natural light and views over the garden and the lane. The twin exposed beams and feature wall add charm in addition to the space. There are a further three bedrooms all with built in storage. One is currently used as a study but has a built-in fold down single bed.

Outside, the property has a gravelled front drive with wooden gates. It offers parking for multiple vehicles, is bordered by flowers and mature shrubs and offers access to both sides of the property. There is also a garage (with electric door) which offers parking for an additional vehicle. The rear garden is fenced and private. It incorporates a good-size lawn with borders of flowers, shrubs and mature trees. It has a near-house patio accessible from both the lounge and sunroom and a second patio to enjoy the sunshine from. There is external power and water.

The Bi-Fold doors have only just been added and the vendor has someone in place to do the render around the frame.

The property has double glazing throughout and is on mains gas, electric and water. It has a private septic tank.
