This impressive family residence is a timber construction using traditional building methods, and not the ‘timber kit’ that is often to be found in modern homes. The build has been supervised by a local architect and received full certification on completion.

This home has been finished to a very high specification, with high ceilings and hardwood flooring throughout.  There are six bedrooms of which four are en-suite. Leading from a spacious and beautifully fitted kitchen with a range cooker and double white ceramic sink is a good-sized utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.  

A particular feature of the design of this property is the large window overlooking the staircase, allowing light to flood onto the hallway, stairs and landing.   On the first floor there is a spacious open area with a large Velux window giving natural light to the upper corridor.  This area could be used as a study/ library.  There is plentiful storage built into the design, with an attractive corner pantry in the kitchen, two built-in cupboards on the ground floor and a further cupboard on the first floor.  Each bedroom has built-in wardrobes.

There is cabling for satellite television throughout the main reception and bedroom accommodation.  Telephone points are also included in each of the reception rooms.

The property would be ideal for a growing family, particularly with the central village location.  Alternatively it could be utilised for a Bed and Breakfast with three ground floor reception rooms offering possibilities for guest living as well as sleeping accommodation.
