In more detail;
You enter through the well presented Entrance Lobby/Utility which provides space to store Coats and shoes, benefits from some wall units, a work surface beneath which is space for a Washing machine and Tumble Dryer and provides access to the similarly well presented modern Cloakroom which has white sanitaryware and a Chrome Heated towel rail. The entrance lobby leads on, through a Barn Door, to the Kitchen which measures 16' x 10' and features a 7 burner/2 oven "Stoves" Range, ample white base and wall units with two good runs of contrasting Graphite effect work surfaces, an inset sink with sculpted drainage grooves, and an integrated Dishwasher. Quarry tile style flooring complements this room perfectly. French Doors lead to the side aspect. The Dining Room is reached from the Kitchen, and is exactly where you'd like it to be - adjacent to the Kitchen. A generous room with similarly splendid tiled flooring, it also benefits from a useful storage cupboard and a Feature fireplace area, where an open fire once stood. Leading on from the Dining room is an ante room providing access to the stairs, to an external door (which was originally a Front door) and to the Lounge. The Lounge is another generous room measuring 17' x12' and benefits from real Oak Flooring and a wood burner and is a really homely feeling room. Leading on from the Lounge is the spacious conservatory.
Upstairs you will find 3 double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a handy storage cupboard. The Main bedroom is stunning. A beautiful bright well presented double bedroom, it has twin aspects and leads on to a dressing area with two banks of built in wardrobes and a skylight, and onward to the Modern En-suite Shower room featuring an oversize shower, quality vanity unit and fittings, including a Chrome Heated towel rail and a storage cupboard. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also Double bedrooms with Bedroom 2 benefitting from a storage cupboard. The family bathroom sports floor to ceiling tiling, white sanitaryware with a shower over the bath, a glazed shower screen and is complemented with ceramic floor tiles.
Should additional accommodation space be required, there is plenty of scope subject to receiving the necessary permissions. Of particular note is that Planning permission for a 2 storey extension has previously been granted, however, it has since lapsed.
Immediately outside the home is a turfed area to the front which flows around to the gravelled drive area which provide copious parking and further around is the carport which provides shelter for 2 cars and additional storage. Tucked behind is a timber shed. Completing the area close to the home is a wonderful decked area, perfect for al fresco entertainment and relaxing, and a well-kept well-stocked rockery area bordered with railway sleepers and a bespoke water feature.
Further along is the brick built Stable, for 3 Horses and the framework of a large barn. Opposite is the chicken pen and enclosed run. Behind the Stable is one of several fields. Adjacent to the Barn is a turfed area prepared as a play area with a childs Tree house, a bark-chipped area and space for a trampoline. This area leads on to the significant fields and pasture areas. There is an additional timber shed positioned to provide a panoramic view across the fields.
Please note - this property is being sold with the benefit of no upper chain which may suit those looking for a quicker transaction and who potentially wish to take advantage of the £15000 Stamp Duty saving, if completed before 31/3/21.
