With a combination of a large bay window to the front, windows either side of the fireplace and a double set of glazed French doors leading into the adjoining conservatory at the rear, the Sitting Room benefits from a significant amount of natural daylight, whilst the high ceilings add to the feeling of space.
The conservatory enjoys a lovely outlook over the gorgeous rear garden and open fields beyond. It is another great size room and has been fitted with a slate floor and under floor heating, enabling you to make use of this fabulous room throughout the year.
Moving back through the hallway will take you to the 'hub of the home' in the shape of the wonderful, recently replaced, kitchen/diner.
This kitchen is spectacular, with Quartz worktops and a central island fitted with an induction hob.
The various integrated appliances include a two drawer Fisher/Paykel dishwasher, Neff oven, microwave and warming draw. There is also an abundance of fitted units and ample space for an American Fridge Freezer.
A recent addition to the kitchen has been the installation of a Quooker tap, giving you the very handy option of cold, hot or boiling water in an instant.
The dining area at the rear of the kitchen is ideal for day-to-day informal use and the glazed double doors open on to the enclosed patio area, allowing you to bring the outside in when the weather allows.
Adjacent to the kitchen is an excellent utility room with a wash basin and worktop, together with plumbing and power for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a door leading out to the back garden – particularly handy if you have a dog with muddy paws!
Located between the Kitchen and Sitting Room is the large and elegant Dining Room, providing a perfect space for entertaining friends and family. As with all the principal living rooms at Merlion, this room also offers double French doors that open on to the secluded rear garden.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is a recently refitted cloakroom and you will find some very useful storage space beneath the stairs.
I am very confident that you are going to love the quality and variety of living rooms at Merlion and the sleeping rooms are every bit as good!
Having taken the stairs to the attractive first floor landing, you will discover four double bedrooms and a magnificent family bathroom.
The main bedroom suite comprises a very large bedroom with views over open countryside, a dressing room with fitted double wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
Bedrooms two and three are both very well proportioned double rooms, each offering fitted wardrobes, and bedroom four, whilst being the smallest room, still measures over 10' x 10', enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear garden and beyond and as with the other bedrooms, benefits from fitted wardrobes.
The family bathroom provides a significant 'WOW'! If you dream of somewhere to relax and soak away the stresses of a busy day, then the enormous bath in this huge bathroom is just the place. To add to the ambience, the bath is fitted with concealed mood lighting to the side shelving.
When time prevents a luxurious soak, then the double sized fitted shower cubicle provides a fabulous alternative.
THE ANNEXE Merlion is a property that just keeps on giving! The main property is a substantial family home and the beautifully fitted out annexe is a wonderful added extra.
This cleverly designed space has been fitted out to exacting standards, with a fully functioning kitchen an en-suite shower room and underfloor heating.
The annexe could be used as a great guest room, an Airbnb, a teenager's room or as a superb work from home office.
Being located adjacent to the double garage, there is the obvious potential to create a more substantial space should the need arise. The potential is endless.
OUTSIDE Having done a wonderful job with the inside of Merlion, the current owners have also lovingly cared for the outside.
You approach the property via a very large driveway at the front, with room to park as many as six cars with comfort.
The rear garden is simply stunning, with an area of lawn flanked on all sides by a variety of plants, shrubs and flowers and enjoying uninterrupted views across farmland beyond.
The patio is adjacent to the back of the house, with doors opening on to it from the kitchen/diner, dining room and conservatory.
A recent investment and great addition to the property is the gorgeous veranda with a glazed roof that extends from the outside wall of the kitchen/diner over the patio to provide a perfect place to relax with a drink or for alfresco dining, whatever the weather,
There is side access to enable you to comfortably move items from the front to rear or vice versa and to conclude all that is brilliant about Merlion, there is a fabulous double garage with light and power fitted and accessed via an electric up and over door.
I hope that the above has provided you with a good indication of all that is wonderful about Merlion but I should also tell you a little about Lower Boddington………..
VILLAGE LIFE Lower Boddington is the smaller of two villages (Upper being the larger) that make up the parish of Boddington.
