Elegantly presented family home with south-facing gardens, countryside views, double garage and versatile garden studio.
This attractive and substantial detached family residence is believed to date from the early part of the 20th century and displays handsome red brick elevations beneath a tiled roof, complemented by characterful rendered and timber detailing.
Approached via parking areas to either side of the property, the house benefits from ample off-road parking and a double garage with an adjoining wood store. A pathway leads through to the welcoming front entrance and covered porch, providing an attractive seating area.
The well-proportioned accommodation extends from a generous reception hall with staircase rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is an impressive L-shaped drawing room featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, creating a superb focal point and a warm atmosphere for both family living and entertaining. Situated opposite is a spacious dining room, ideal for formal occasions.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys direct access to the garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry and integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. A decorative period range provides character, whilst a modern gas-fired range offers practical day-to-day cooking facilities. Supporting the kitchen is a substantial utility room housing a modern wall-mounted gas-fired boiler and hot water cylinder, together with a cloakroom and access to a covered rear porch with useful storage cupboard.
The first-floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities. Several rooms enjoy particularly attractive views across the surrounding landscape to the rear of the property.
Outside, the gardens are a notable feature of the house, lying principally to the south and providing an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. A curved terrace adjoins the property, overlooking established herbaceous borders and well-maintained lawns. Further gardens extend to the north, where mature apple and pear trees add seasonal interest and charm. A substantial timber outbuilding offers excellent versatility and is ideally suited for use as a home office, gymnasium or studio.
