Description
An individual, detached family residence, constructed in the 1920s with later additions, set within gardens and grounds of approximately 1.35 acres, centrally located within this highly sought-after village.
The property occupies a wonderful centre of village location, just a short walk from the village shop, public house, primary school and main line train station. The property is offered with no onward chain.
Entrance hall, entered via a timber front door with lightbox above, feature staircase leading to first floor accommodation. There are two reception rooms, these include a sitting room, a characterful reception room featuring an open fireplace and built in book-shelving and a family dining room which is a bright living space offering picturesque views over the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of base level and wall mounted storage cupboards and appliances and fixtures include a four ring ceramic hob, double oven, extractor, alongside a dedicated space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Just off is a handy utility room, a practical functional space accommodating the usual white goods and housing a wall mounted gas fired central heating boiler. There is a cloakroom/W.C conveniently located just off the utility room.
On the first floor there is a galleried landing providing access to all first floor bedrooms and bathroom. There are five bedrooms in total, all are good sized including a particularly spacious vaulted room positioned over the garage extension , an ideal space for a home office or studio/hobby room. The family bathroom serves the first floor bedrooms.
Outside there is a lawned front garden with a driveway providing off road parking and access to the garage which has an up and over door, power and light connected and doors to the house and garden. Gated access leads to the generous formal rear garden which is laid mainly to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds and features both an immediate paved patio adjoining the house and a second paved seating area, sheltered by a wooden pergola. The formal garden opens out into an extensive paddock extending to over an acre. This is mainly laid to lawn and features a mix of specimen and fruit bearing trees, lush plant borders and dedicated wildlife meadow area. All enjoys excellent levels of privacy.
Agents Note - There is a covenant on the paddock that additional housing cannot be built.
