ACCOMMODATION
With the driveway conveniently positioned at the side elevation, the property can as easily be entered via the main front entrance or through the conservatory at the rear. This naturally has practical advantages for busy families or those returning from countryside walks. A modest entrance porch at the front, opens into a light and airy reception room at the heart of the house. Our vendors have used this space for a number of functions over the years, including a dining room and an office. All other accommodation is reached from this area, including stairs to the first floor. The generously proportioned main living room stretches the entire depth of the house and benefits from triple aspect windows as well as a log burning stove, while the third reception room (study) adds flexibility to provide a playroom, hobby space or fifth double bedroom. The well appointed kitchen comprises a comprehensive range of wall and base units with wood effect laminated work surfaces and ceramic one and a half bowl drainer sink. Integral appliances include an electric eye level oven and a ceramic hob, with space provided for a fridge/freezer. From the kitchen you'll find access to a rear lobby, leading to a dual purpose utility and cloakroom with Wc and wash basin, as well as space for laundry appliances; and a large conservatory proving excellent additional entertaining space on the south facing rear elevation.
To the first floor, a large landing area leads to four excellent size double bedrooms, all enjoying fabulous countryside views of varying aspects. The larger master bedroom also takes in a dual aspect, as well as benefiting from an adjacent room which, although requires some finishing works, could provide an excellent dressing room, walk-in wardrobe, or even an ensuite. Completing the accommodation is the stylish family bathroom presented with a modern white suite and contemporary tiling to floor and walls.
