Description

A superb traditional home that offers an impressive array of accommodation, coupled with excellent views overlooking greenspace and countryside. The property has been thoughtfully extended in the past and benefits from several high-quality improvements undertaken by the current owner. These include the creation of a large open-plan kitchen-living space with granite island and work surfaces, a superbly spacious room at the centre of the ground floor, which caters beautifully for entertaining and modern family living. The rest of the ground floor living space flows beautifully from here and includes a large garden room with a recently added insulated roof and bi-fold doors accessing the adjoining living room. There is also a spacious utility room and downstairs cloakroom/WC, while on the first floor are four good-sized bedrooms, with the incredibly spacious master providing lovely rural views and benefitting from a quality en-suite shower room. A generous driveway and secluded south-facing rear garden round things off superbly.

The property is approached from the roadside via a substantial gravelled driveway, which can accommodate at least three cars.
