Avenue Farmhouse is a delightful detached house in an enviable location, tucked away yet convenient for all local amenities. Of rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, the original double fronted symmetrical early Victorian farmhouse has been sympathetically altered and extended by the vendors. The village of Elsworth retains its village character but enjoys two pubs, a community shop, a CofE primary school and pre-school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

The accommodation flows from the central hall to an elegant triple aspect drawing room to the right with a stone fire surround and a sitting room to the left with a wood burner set in the fireplace beneath the exposed bressummer beam. Beyond the hall is a study with stripped pine storage cupboards and a part glazed door leads from the rear hall to the split level kitchen/dining room. This is an impressive space which divides into a dining area with wooden flooring and French doors to the south east facing terrace. The triple aspect kitchen area with French doors to one side incorporates an oil fired Aga, Zanussi oven, a range of painted floor and wall cupboards, drawers, granite worktops, a fitted dishwasher and stone flooring. Beyond is the large utility/boot room with garden access, additional store cupboards with wooden worktops, butler sink with mixer taps, a Thermicon oil fired boiler together with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there is a landing/library area with space for sitting, or indeed working, beside the sash window whilst enjoying views to the front and down the drive. To the right is the principal suite of a beautiful triple aspect bedroom with wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower. There are four additional double bedrooms all enjoying garden and more distant views and a family bathroom.
