Property description

Sowerbys are pleased to offer this immaculately presented and highly individual family home, located within walking distance of the village school in the pretty village of Carbrooke. The current owners have entirely transformed the original property by adding a substantial first floor extension and adapting the integral garage in to additional reception space. The result is a spacious and versatile property which has been finished to the highest quality. The property is entered via a most impressive reception hall with an expanse of glazing on the south facing wall. Towards the front of the ground floor there are two reception rooms, listed as the dining room and play room, which could serve any number of purposes. The stand out feature of the ground floor is the superb sitting room which is open-plan to the kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor benefits from solid oak flooring throughout. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, with the master room enjoying the luxury of a recently refurbished en-suite shower room; as well as the stylishly appointed family bathroom. Outside, there is a shingle driveway and newly constructed timber workshop to the front, with side access round to a pleasantly sized enclosed rear garden.
