A well-presented detached house, within just over 4 acres of landscaped gardens and post and rail fenced paddocks, with stable yard, in an accessible rural setting a mile north of Thorney
This versatile house is entered through a wide oak floored entrance hallway. From here the dining room adjoins and accesses both the kitchen and the 31' long sitting room, from which there are French doors to the garden, with a large inglenook with wood burning stove, which also offers access to the kitchen. Overall making fabulous entertaining space.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well-appointed, with a shaker style suite with wall and base units under oak wood worktops, incorporating an integrated dishwasher and double oven Rangemaster. The kitchen is supplemented by an adjoining utility room, with plumbing for white goods, and an inner lobby that accesses a cloakroom/W.C.
From the hallway, or utility, the triple aspect 18' garden room makes a fabulous third reception room with views and French doors to the garden, whilst returning towards the front door along the hallway, a boot room, with shower room, is ideal for dogs and returning from muddy walks. Two ground floor bedrooms, one of which is currently furnished and used as an office complete the ground floor.
The staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor accommodation, where there are three further double bedrooms, served by a full-suite family bathroom and a second family shower room.

I love the versatility, setting and feel of this fabulous property. Ideal for equestrian buyers, but also perfect for families who value space and have hobbies for golfers, Thorney Lakes Golf Course 1st tee is a short walk from the property!
