Studded oak front door leads into an entrance porch and hallway. The sitting room benefits from an exposed tile floor, secondary glazed sash window bay to the front, a fabulous inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam and an inset Hunter multi fuel burning stove.
The sitting room is open plan to the dining area.
This room affords glazed french doors to the rear, superb heavy timbered ceiling beams and, as well as a door leading directly to the kitchen, it is open plan again to the library which benefits from a secondary glazed window to the rear and built in shelving.
A door leads through to the drawing room which is a spacious and versatile space affording the character of an attractive former inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling timbers, a secondary glazed bay window to the front and windows to both the side and the rear. This room has the potential, subject to the relevant listed building consent, as an alternative room to be used as a kitchen/living space as it also benefits from the currently unused second front door to the street.
The kitchen/breakfast room, opening from the dining room, presents a range of base and wall mounted kitchen units with roll topped work surfaces, inset ceramic sink unit, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and an upright fridge freezer. There is also a Rangemaster electric hob and cooker, a door leading to the garden and a further door to the utility/boot room. The utility room affords further storage space, a sink, plumbing for white goods and the oil-fired wall-mounted boiler. There is a window to the rear and a separate cloakroom with WC and wash basin.
To the first floor there are five comfortable family bedrooms that are well served by a family sized bathroom and a further shower room. The main bedroom in particular benefits from a wonderful East facing large picture window affording an excellent view to the countryside beyond.
Outside:
The property benefits from a large integral garage, with the potential to create further accommodation subject to relevant consents, with an up and over door to the front, power and light. In addition, there is a separate parking space to the side of the house with a dropped curb to the street.
Gated side access leads through to the wall and fence enclosed garden. A detached timber clad outbuilding currently serves as a workshop, with a door and window to the garden, power and light, with a separate storeroom.
The rear garden is a particularly noteworthy feature of the property being laid to lawn with glorious shrub and flower borders, a paved terrace directly to the rear of the house ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. In the corner of the garden there is a pretty summerhouse, greenhouse and a storage area with a modern oil tank.
