-Full Details

Conveniently situated in this village centre location close to the village amenities, yet tucked away at the end of a quiet private drive, this is an immaculately presented, bright and airy, detached, four double bedroom family home with gravel driveway parking for up to four cars and an integral garage to the front and a beautifully planted, enclosed and secluded, south-west facing garden to the side. The property has been modernised and improved by the current owners over the years and benefits from recently refitted kitchen, bathrooms and cloakroom and stunning limestone flooring to the kitchen and entrance hall.

Downstairs, there is a welcoming entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and doors leading off to the sitting room, cloakroom and kitchen/dining room. The sitting room is a good size and bright, triple aspect room with a working fireplace and two pairs of French windows leading into the garden. The kitchen/dining room is another bright room with a very good range of fitted cupboards, drawers and integrated appliances under a granite worksurface, a breakfast island and space for a dining table and chairs. Beyond is a fully fitted study, ideal for homeworking during the present climate. A useful utility room, with back door access, and a refitted cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there is a master bedroom with built in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, two of which have built in wardrobes, and a wonderfully refitted family bathroom.

Outside, the front garden is laid to lawn with a paved path and shrub borders and adjoins the gravel driveway, with parking for up to 4 cars. This leads to the garage, which provides an enormous storage space and can additionally be accessed, internally, from the study. To the side, with side gate access and gated access on to the village field behind, is a lovely, enclosed, secluded and landscaped, south-west facing garden with a full width paved terrace, lawned areas, shrub borders and an expansive vegetable garden with a greenhouse and garden shed.
