Coombe Lands
A former hunting lodge, Coombe Lands dates back to the 1900’s and benefits from later extensions in the 1980’s. Today the property retains much of the original character including some beams, wood panelling and feature fireplaces, with flexible living accommodation over two floors, and potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning consents).
On the ground floor there is an entrance hallway with coats cupboard, a useful shower room, and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen has been updated and is fitted with a range of painted wall and base units with wood worksurfaces over and integrated oven and gas hob. There are double doors from the kitchen onto the garden. The L-shaped sitting room is a generous space with storage cupboard to one side and wood burning stove. There is also a feature fireplace with open fire and parquet flooring. Double doors from here open into the recently updated conservatory which has lovely views over the pretty rear garden and pond. From the sitting room there is a door into the cosy dining room with feature fireplace, and a further door into an inner hallway with access to the double bedroom and the family bathroom, which has a bath and separate shower cubicle. Upstairs, there is a good size double bedroom with a eaves storage and a separate cloakroom next to this. There is also a single bedroom with a large eaves store and two cupboards off the landing area. The bedroom windows enjoy some wonderful views across the garden, paddock and surrounding countryside.

The property has been well maintained throughout and is ready to move straight into.
