Description

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into the large hallway/lobby area, the perfect place for coats, boots and paws. There is a sitting room to the rear with fireplace and wood burning stove and an archway leads through to the formal dining area, which is large enough to fit a six-seating dining table. From the dining room is the utility room with direct access to the garden. The kitchen, which can be accessed from both the lobby and dining room is fitted with a range of wall and base units and has an adjoining loo.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from having its own ensuite bathroom and all the other bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

The house is approached via a private track off the main road and leads to the off-street parking for three to four vehicles. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with an array of mature fruit trees, enclosed by fencing and hedging and is to the rear and side of the property. Within the garden is the detached annexe and also the summerhouse/home office. The detached annexe has a double bedroom/sitting area, its own kitchen and own shower room. Doors open out to a decking area for enjoying the garden and views beyond. The summerhouse is wooden built and set away from the house making it ideal for a home office or for older children to use to entertain friends.
