The Property
Entry Hall – Beyond a small intimate gravel patio the Front Door opens into the Entry Hall with tile-effect vinyl flooring, before the stairs rise with new carpet runner secured by brass bars.
Dining Room – The Dining Room with solid wood flooring delights in an exposed stone wall with its fireplace home to a wood burner. The stone is charmingly echoed in the views of the garden’s front boundary from its dual aspect. The room offers a highly malleable space with ample provision for a large dining table, sitting alongside space for more informal relaxing or a dedicated Home Office zone. While an Under-stairs Cupboard offers good storage.
Sitting Room – The stunning dual aspect Sitting Room with garden views features a stone inglenook fireplace on a grand scale. Beside which sits a walk-in Cupboard providing discreet storage for logs to feed the ceramic Jotul wood burner. Beyond the character of its exposed wall and ceiling beams, the room delights in refurbished and richly-hued solid oak flooring and 4 wall sconces.
Kitchen – Fully fitted in classic Shaker units with solid wood countertops, the Kitchen with tile flooring features a Belfast sink with slim dishwasher to the side both set beneath a window overlooking the garden. Integrated are also fridge with AEG combi-microwave above, under-counter freezer and washing machine. The array of storage units across the Kitchen includes traditional plate rack above pull-out wicker baskets. There is also space for a cooker with concealed hood above and discreetly positioned to the corner is the Worcester combi boiler.
Bedroom 1 – The spacious carpeted Double Bedroom features an end wall with superb exposed timbers originally sourced from a church, a history still charmingly invoked in its near gothic arches and echoed in the room’s views over the churchyard beyond.
Bedroom 2 – The second carpeted Double Bedroom also enjoys an impressive scale with high vaulted roof line with exposed beam while above the window the eye is drawn to beautiful criss-cross timber detailing.
Bedroom 3 – The last of the bedrooms is again a carpeted Double. It enjoys dual aspect with views across the village to open country beyond and benefits from a high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.
Family Bathroom – The Bathroom with underfloor heated tiles features a curved-end bath with wall-mounted Rainhead shower with glass screen. It is completed with WC, pedestal basin and benefits from a tall shallow Cupboard concealing fitted shelf storage.
Linen Cupboard – On the Landing lies a useful Linen Cupboard with fitted shelf providing copious storage and with second cupboard above.
