Summary Continued

In the last year the property has had luxury heavy duty electrically operated wooden gates plus high quality concrete post and rail fencing to the front (gates can even be voice operated via Alexa and remote control fobs).

In addition to that the grass in the rear garden was completely re-laid and all the new fencing and gates were installed in 2023 as well.

There is a very impressive entrance to the property with the gates leading into a huge driveway area with capacity parking for numerous vehicles and ideal for anyone with motorhome, caravan etc.

The rear dining seating area has two large roof light lanterns and superb natural light and sunshine throughout the property.

This home could also lend itself to an elderly relative or teenager living at home with semi independence from the rest of the family as there is a recently installed and hardly used luxury wet room off a small bedroom which could equally be used as a study or work from home office.

In addition to all this there are two completely separate lounge/sitting rooms for anyone wanting to separate themselves from the open plan family area. The rear one of these is double aspect south westerly facing again overlooking the garden, the front one has a magnificent full height red brick chimney breast incorporating a wood burner.

Upstairs there are four additional bedrooms, the main one of which has a Juliet balcony and French doors opening out overlooking the garden and woodland with one of the best views from a bedroom that we have seen. It also has a very nice en-suite from this bedroom and in addition to that there is a large 8'10 x 6'0 family bathroom plus a downstairs cloakroom. Also downstairs is a utility room and a very handy walk in pantry from the kitchen which is a top of the range Howdens kitchen with a wealth of integrated appliances and a utility room.

The property has gas central heating via a modern boiler installed in 2017 which is under a British Gas Home Care Agreement, uPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout also installed in 2017.

This home offers idyllic family living for anyone with young children, dogs with woodland walks literally on your doorstep. Furthermore for anyone who is a golfer the golf course on Rushmere Heath is only a 15 minute walk away and access to local shops and facilities at Kesgrave are all within a 10 minute walk or a five minute drive.

It really is the best of both worlds for anyone wanting completely secluded countryside living yet wanting to be a stones throw from the convenience of having local shops and facilities nearby.
