PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in 1952, Summit is an individual detached property with a wealth of character and charm. Having been extended at the rear, the property offers further development potential, subject to relevant planning permission. A brick arched recessed porch leads you to the front door and into the entrance hall with stair access and cloakroom. The original herringbone flooring runs through from the hall and continues into both the sitting room and dining room. The sitting room has triple aspect with lovely views all around. It has an inset log burner and there are french doors which lead you directly into the garden. The kitchen breakfast room has a lovely terracotta tiled floor and a beautiful decorative sink overlooks the garden. There is a separate utility room with back door. The dining room overlooks the front of the house and there is a serving hatch through to the kitchen. Next to the dining room is bedroom 4 but could also serve as an office/study. Upstairs a window on the landing offers fabulous field views and beyond. The main bedroom suite has a dressing room, incorporating a shower and built in wardrobes. The room then leads into the bedroom area with garden views and a large eaves storage cupboard. There are 2 further double bedrooms both with built in storage. Along the landing is the airing cupboard which houses the gas fired boiler and water tank. The family bathroom is a white suite and there is a bath with overhead shower. The property benefits from UPVC cottage style windows throughout
OUTSIDE
Set back from the road, the property is approached through an “in and out” gravelled driveway offering parking for several cars. The front is hedged and there is a pretty lawned area with some low trees and shrubs. There is a detached single double length garage with an up and over front door and an additional side door.
A side gate on the right takes you to the rear garden which is spectacular. Mature trees give a “park-like” feel and hedging to all sides offer total privacy. The garden is west facing and there are 2 fish ponds sitting amongst the lawn. A path from the house leads you to the middle of the garden where you come to the stunning log cabin which is used as an artist’s studio. The studio is a Bertsch Holzbau German design cabin with a veranda, where the most glorious garden views can be enjoyed. Towards the rear of the garden is a further hedged area taking you through to where there is a greenhouse and shed. This space would make for a great vegetable and fruit garden. With 0.46 of an acre to enjoy, the gardens truly compliment this property and connect beautifully together. An early viewing to fully appreciate all it has to offer is highly recommended.
