House For Sale £700,000
The property was built in 1995 and has warm Ham Stone elevations under a slate roof. The property was built with large spacious rooms and windows designed to enhance the feeling of light and space throughout. The property has been built using many reclaimed or period style materials including an attractive stripped plank floor in the kitchen, flagstone floors in the hallway and the conservatory, a number of reclaimed or period style wash hand basins and brace and ledge doors. The reception hall is particularly spacious and stretches the length of the house with a view from the front door to the back door and gardens behind. This house has a period feel with all the advantages that come with a contemporary one.

To the left hand side there is a flowing daytime living space with a kitchen/dining room that leads through to a conservatory that has recently been rebuilt with a reflective glass roof. At one end of the kitchen there is a comprehensive range of floor mounted units and cupboards with space for an lpg/electric range cooker, a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. To the other end there is a seating area with, to one side, space for a large storage cupboard and a dresser, with double doors into the conservatory which makes a fine daytime sitting room. The principal rooms are all orientated towards the garden and the views which look up to the ridge above Melplash onto the Mapperton estate. In addition off the hallway there is a cloakroom with plumbing for a washing machine. Upstairs there are four good bedrooms, three of which have ensuite bath/shower rooms and the principal of which has, in addition, a walk-in wardrobe.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property with an attractive terrace running along the rear of the property, accessed from both the sitting room and the conservatory, giving way to a full area of lawn edged by herbaceous and shrub planting and some attractive formal Box hedging. To the centre of the garden there is a formal garden with four standard Hollies, one to each corner providing the structure with to one side a pergola covered seating area. A second pergola to the centre of the formal garden gives way to a less formal area that is laid to lawn with a number of mature apple and fruit trees that have created a small orchard, with to one side a vegetable garden with three raised beds. To the right-hand corner is a useful garden shed beside which is another seating area that takes in the last of the sun in the evening.
