The Brambles is a detached five bedroom family home providing spacious and well planned accommodation over two floors. The property is approached by a block-paved drive, which was laid in 2015 and provides parking for up to three cars. At the front of the property there is covered porch from which the front door opens into the large hall, with the staircase (which has a storage cupboard underneath) and rooms radiating off. The bright living room features an open fire with a brick hearth, tiled surround and timber mantle; the floor is wood laminate finished in a parquet style and double doors lead to the dining room with views over the rear garden. Across the hall is the kitchen with a range of eye and base level units, roll top work surfaces with tiled splash backs, integrated gas hob with extractor and gas oven; there is plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a fridge. The kitchen’s ceramic tile flooring continues through to the adjoining garden room, with its floor to ceiling window and large sliding doors providing access to the patio and views over the delightful gardens. The floor tiles also continue into the utility room, which has plumbing for a washing machine, vent for a tumble drier and space for a fridge freezer. There is a door to the double garage and a door to the outside. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the study which overlooks the front garden, plus a cloakroom. Upstairs there are five bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden, a full size en-suite bathroom and large built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two is another good sized double with a large built in wardrobe and faces the front of the property. Bedroom three is a large double with a view over the side garden plus a small window to the front. This bedroom benefits from a walk in shower, vanity unit with basin, built-in eaves storage and access to a spacious balcony overlooking the side and rear gardens. Bedroom four is also a double, bedroom five a generous single with built-in storage, and both these rooms face the front of the property. The family bathroom has a three piece suite, shower over the bath, part tiled walls and cork flooring. There is also a large walk-in airing cupboard housing the boiler and hot water cylinder, with linen storage and drying shelves. Outside, a good sized patio area equipped with a masonry chiminea barbeque, gives access to the rear and side gardens. These are laid mainly to lawn with productive apple, damson and plum trees, also a grape vine and raspberry canes. The property benefits from a solar PV panels installed by Evo Energy in January 2012, from which the vendors have informed us that they receive a FIT payments of approximately £1800 per year (scheduled to continue until 2037) in addition to substantial savings on their electricity bills. This installation, together with such other measures as programmable heating zones, has enabled this property to achieve a B rating on the Energy Performance Certificate.
