Superbly presented detached family home with great style and character in grounds of 1.5 acres on the edge of this desirable village .....

Keyes is a most appealing and attractive detached family home, built we understand, in the late 1920s. The house is set in beautifully established grounds, including an area of woodland, totalling approximately 1.5 acres with the rear garden enjoying a westerly orientation. Keyes has been in the same family ownership for over 30 years and has been enhanced and tastefully improved by the current owners, offering bright, spacious and characterful accommodation. There is an entrance porch into a delightful and well-proportioned dining room with a limestone Chesney fireplace and fitted feature bookcase. The charming sitting room is double aspect with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove and has French doors out to the sun terrace. There is a fully fitted study with built in filing cabinets, desktop and bookcases and overlooks the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted to a high standard and has French doors leading to the sun terrace. The kitchen has granite work surfaces, an Aga and overmantel. Adjacent to the kitchen, is the excellent sized utility/boot room with access to the garden. From the kitchen there is also access to a side entrance door, cloakroom and a family room/studio. The first floor has a main bedroom with built in wardrobes and luxurious en-suite bathroom and three further double bedrooms served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Outside the grounds are an outstanding feature of Keyes, having been extensively landscaped by the current owners and extend principally to the west with large and welcoming terrace areas designed to capture the sun. The gardens consist of sweeping and immaculate lawns and comprehensively stocked flowerbeds and borders with two gates into a glorious bluebell woodland. Outbuildings include a stable block, comprising two stables and tack room, plus a timber greenhouse and four garden stores. To the front of the property there is a pretty front garden with low level box hedging and the gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles.
