About this property

  • Tastefully presented and notably maintained, this detached period property retains a wealth of charm and offers wonderful vistas of the surrounding countryside and nearby orchard. Generating the chance to be enhanced and updated to perfectly reflect your own needs and tastes with scope to be extended (STNC). Sitting back from a leafy lane behind an admirably sized frontage, its hugely fluid and brilliantly light filled layout extends over 1437sq ft and is arranged to let the surrounding greenery add a picturesque backdrop throughout.

    Behind a welcoming entrance porch, on the ground floor a central hallway opens to either side onto two impressive reception rooms. A large double aspect sitting room with a mid-century fireplace has sliding patio doors leading out to the garden, while a tastefully styled dining room connects with a double aspect study that's a peaceful haven when working from home. Generating a wealth of storage and workspace, the excellently sized modern kitchen is appointed with both integrated and freestanding appliances. Its admirable dimensions easily accommodate a breakfast table, and whilst a traditional serving hatch opens into the dining room a demi-glazed door makes it easy to step out onto the patio. A cloakroom completes the layout.

    The tremendous outlook and degree of natural light continues upstairs where generous bedrooms offer flexible family accommodation and share a family bathroom and separate WC.

    At the front of the property evergreen hedging borders a substantial frontage with a feature cherry tree and lawns bordering a paved path to the attractive double fronted facade of the house. A private driveway combines with the detached garaging to provide off-road parking to several vehicles.

    Tranquil and secluded, the marvellous rear garden proffers an abundance of picturesque space to relax and unwind in the summer sun. Encompassed by raised flowerbeds full of seasonal colour, a curved and broad paved patio is ideal for al fresco dining and produces an enviable vantage point to admire the long lawn that stretches out before you encompassed by notably tall hedgerows and vibrant mature shrubs. A timber shed sits discreetly to the side and a vegetable patch is an added bonus for budding gardeners.
