DESCRIPTION
Whippets, a much-loved family home sits centrally in a large, secluded plot just off the High Street, within a short walk of local amenities, including a village shop and a fish and chip shop. The property was built in the 1990’s, it is of brick and flint construction, under a pantile roof and offers flexible accommodation throughout.
Entering through the glass panelled porch there is space to hang coats and remove shoes. The front door opens into a well-proportioned hallway with high ceilings, tiled flooring, a curved wall which softens and enhances the space and the inviting mix of colours and textures, reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The spacious rooms flow effortlessly with further bursts of colour that draw the eye.
Off to the right of the entrance hall is the light and airy sitting room which benefits from a triple aspect, affording good early light and all-day sunshine. This is a spacious room with lovely open fire and plenty of room for entertaining. Adjoining the sitting room is a sunny south facing conservatory, accessed through sliding doors, and overlooking the pretty front garden and mature trees.
The hallway extends through the property in an L-shape, providing access to 5 bedrooms, one of which is presently utilised as an office. The main bedroom is a generous double with built in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, comprising a bath, wash hand basin and WC, with ample room available to install a shower if desired.
To the rear of the property overlooking the back garden there are 2 large single bedrooms, one of which has a set of double doors opening out into a garden. There is also a further large guest room with dual aspect windows, enjoying lovely views over the garden. These bedrooms share a large family bathroom with separate shower and bath.
The south facing kitchen is at the front of the house. This is a good-sized room with tiled floor and fitted units, a double ceramic sink, space for an oven, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and ample space for a kitchen table and chairs. Sitting adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which houses the boiler and provides ample space for several freestanding appliances. There is a sink, and a back door allows access out to the side of the property.
Next to the kitchen is a lovely south facing dining room with doors leading to the front garden. This a spacious room and could easily seat 8 guests.
Off the hallway there is also a separate cloakroom with WC, and a large airing cupboard with hot water cylinder, and useful storage.
__________
OUTSIDE
Whippets occupies a large wide plot and is approached down a shared drive which leads into its own gravelled driveway. The attractive front garden has been landscaped and has an area of lawn, ample parking for several vehicles and a double garage.

The rear garden is very private and not directly overlooked from neighbouring properties. The garden is well established, mostly laid to lawn with a number of mature shrubs, herbaceous borders, fine roses, irises, and several trees including a mature willow tree, and a striking white barked silver birch. The property also benefits from two neighbouring cherry trees which provide beautiful pink blossom and lovely autumn foliage. A sheltered gravelled seating area offers the perfect space to relax or entertain.
