Set back off the popular Bulford Road within the charming village of Shipton Bellinger, this spacious family home offers a wealth of positives, from a convenient location close to transport links to extensive off-street parking, far-reaching country views and generous gardens to the front and rear. The property was built circa 1952 and was once the village police house. It was later extended in 2001 and 2006 to create a well-proportioned flexible home you find today. Inside, the property is well presented in a contemporary style and has been modernised throughout to meet the demands of modern living. The versatile floor plan offers over 2000 square feet of family orientated modern living space and an internal garage. The home has been cleverly orientated to the rear to ensure the principal living accommodation overlooks the stunning gardens and countryside beyond. A particular highlight is the stunning open plan family room with its vaulted ceiling, glazed gable end and bi-folding doors that provide a real sense of bringing the outside in and fills the room with natural light; the perfect space for entertaining. Upon entering the home the light and space is immediately apparent. A welcoming entrance hall gives way to all reception rooms. To the front there is a useful study, adjacent is the dining room that in turn opens into the formal sitting room that features a warming fireplace, a roof lantern and French doors opening to the rear garden. To the rear is the deeply impressive open plan kitchen and family room that has ample space for a cosy everyday seating area. Completing the ground floor is a utility room and a cloakroom. The first floor comprises a generous size main bedroom with ample fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom. The three further well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a modern family bathroom.
