Description
A charming character property set within the heart of a very desirable village is available with no chain and offers beautifully appointed accommodation arranged over two floors.

The property has some delightful features such as a bespoke kitchen, stone and oak 'Fired Earth' floors and a wood burning stove, while outside the private rear garden is well stocked with fruit trees and mature shrubs and enjoys a sheltered southerly aspect.

The Property
An entrance hall with stone floors opens to a generous breakfast kitchen with a range of wall and floor standing cabinets under oak work surfaces.

An electric Rangemaster with matching extractor hood will remain at the property. There is also space for an integrated dishwasher. A pantry provides further storage and French doors open out onto a sheltered terrace and gardens beyond.

The spacious sitting room is open to the formal dining room with oak flooring and a wood burning stove set within a deep chimney breast. French doors with side lights take in peaceful views over the rear garden while the formal dining area enjoys views over the front lawns.

A further reception room is dual aspect with exposed stone walls and a chimney breast with built-in shelving over and fitted storage cupboards. Currently used as a music and play room, this pleasant space could serve as a snug or a home office.

The boot room is a very practical area with stone flooring, a useful utility cupboard with space for a washing machine and access to the driveway and garage.

Stairs rise to a pleasant landing area where four bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found.

The master bedroom has an en suite shower room and an excellent range of fitted wardrobes. There are two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes plus a generous single bedroom.

Grounds & Gardens
The property sits neatly behind a deep open lawn area with a pathway leading to the front door. To the side of the property is a single driveway leading to a brick and block built garage. There are two pedestrian gates into the fabulous garden which is south facing, backing onto fields and set into distinct areas. There are numerous seating areas including stone terraces ideal for outdoor dining sets. The lawn garden is slightly raised with mature borders and flower beds. A further orchard area gives way to a vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse. Both the summer house and greenhouse are included in the sale.

The current vendors have had preliminary drawings for the addition of an orangery and side extension to the property along with a new garage with home office over. Whilst planning permission was never sought, these can be viewed and will be offered with the property. Please speak to the agent for further details.
