Property description

Meerkat Burrows originates from the 1970s and offers excellent, well proportioned accommodation, a large sunny garden and an expanse of private drive together with a detached double garage block.

Truly deceptive in appearance and well screened from the village road, the property has undergone extensive improvements and updating over recent years including a 2002 integral garage conversion, 2005 living room extension, 2006 conservatory extension and, most recently, the addition of the master bedroom in 2008. The detached garage block, which is of timber frame construction, was erected in 2003.

The feeling of space is evident upon entering the property via an impressive dining hall which is open plan to an equally impressive family sitting room. The feeling of space continues with the light open plan kitchen /breakfast room and the master bedroom with its high vaulted ceiling and walk-in wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms and two separate bathrooms, both of which have been re-designed and re-fitted. If an ensuite were required to the master bedroom it may be worth considering converting the external boiler room (see floor plan).

The property is approached via a gated, gravelled drive with parking, turning and access to the detached garage block. The front garden has the appearance of a courtyard with a large pavioured terrace, small lawned area and a summerhouse. The rear garden is an excellent size, fully enclosed, enjoys a sunny aspect and is extremely private
