Belfast sink, island unit and 3 oven Aga. The equally generous triple aspect sitting room with fireplace, creates an excellent space for entertaining with French windows opening onto the garden. The property has been enhanced by the addition of a garden room, which overlooks the sunny terrace offering seamless indoor/outdoor living. Upstairs the master bedroom
suite features a newly appointed bathroom. Surrounding the house, the well maintained informal gardens are largely laid to lawn, featuring mature oak trees, shrubs and a wildlife pond, which gently blend into the countryside beyond. In the spring the house is surrounded by banks of primroses and drifts of flowering bulbs. The drive leads to the house providing a
parking and turning area, there is a pretty stone built Garden Store under a slate roof (3.89m x 3.71m) with two lean-to log stores. This lovely property is ready to move into and offers a
perfect rural retreat which would suit a variety of buyers.
