Overview

Entering the property, you are welcomed into an airy entrance hall. Its light feel is indeed a prominent feature of this house, with oak interior doors on the ground floor including glass panels that allow brightness to flood into every room.

With bedroom number four/study being on the ground floor opposite the shower room, this is the perfect place for guests or multi-generational family living.

The entrance hall leads you into the large sitting room with its warm and cosy country feel, complete with feature windows and wooden beams. This lounge is more than large enough for all of the family, and also includes further storage under the stairs, as well as the tucked away carpeted staircase, leading to the first floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows within the sitting room look out onto the front of the property, and its wonderfully mature, walled herbaceous garden is banked to afford you complete privacy as you relax in this restful space.

With limestone tiled flooring, wood-effect work surfaces and a range of high and low level cream units, the kitchen has a range of integrated appliances, including eye level oven and separate microwave; five gas hob burners; Rangemaster extractor fan; two sinks, a dishwasher and a free-standing fridge freezer. The rear of the kitchen opens to the property’s handy utility room: The perfect place to kick off your boots after being in the garden.

Garden, Garage and Parking

Barnfield’s garden has been well-loved, this is clear to see as you open the five-bar gate to the property. To the right is a mature and deep, banked border, considerately sculpted with trees, plants and flowers. To the front of the property there is plenty of parking for the whole family on a block paved drive. The property’s first garage also greets you to the left, integrated within the house.
