House For Sale £950,000
Scotchal House is a substantial home, 2,022 square feet, sitting on a good size plot just shy of a quarter of an acre. The best of both worlds is on offer with this property; a lovely leafy backdrop and picturesque countryside setting enhance the peaceful location and rural feel, yet with the advantages of a coastal lifestyle and amenities nearby.
Situated on a quiet lane away from passing traffic, Scotchal House has been a treasured home for 24 years.
An inviting entrance hall leads to a spacious lounge with log burning stove, the flickering flames and crackle of burning logs creating a cosy environment and mesmerising focal point.
A kitchen/breakfast room with island unit and access to the rear garden, useful utility room, ground floor cloakroom, formal dining room and study occupy the ground floor. Upstairs there are five bedrooms; four double bedrooms, one single bedroom, two en-suite washrooms and a neat modern bathroom.
There are a number of external buildings including a 19’9 x 15’6 detached garage and all-important home office, both with power and light, a summerhouse, garden shed and a practical carport.
A mature rear garden and exceptionally functional horseshoe driveway providing extensive parking are the finishing touches to this super home.
