The Property
Entering the property via the front door we are welcomed by the tiled porch which provides the perfect place for our coats and boots before entering the main accommodation. A door from here opens to the central entrance hall where stairs rise to the galleried landing and doors open to the main rooms of the house. To our right we enter the sitting room where the feeling of space that runs throughout the property is instantly apparent. At just over 23ft this generous space is perfect for a growing family and entertaining alike. A wood burning stove is nestled in the brick fireplace and provides a cosy focal point to the room whilst bay window enjoys the view to the front and french doors open to our conservatory. The conservatory provides the perfect spot to enjoy the south facing garden with french doors that open to our patio. Stepping back through the hall we find the formal dining room which overlooks the front aspect and enjoys the view of the village common. Heading to the rear of the house we pass the lavatory and enter the kitchen breakfast room. This generous space is fitted with a range of wall and base units that is set over a contrasting timber effect floor. A ceramic one and half bowl sink is set below the open window that looks into the sun room, a double oven and hob are integrated with the units and space and provision are made for our dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer. The timber effect flooring continues to the sun room making the two spaces work as one, perfect for entertaining the sun room enjoys the full view of the rear gardens and again french doors open to the patio and gardens beyond. A door from here opens to a hall way that provides access to the integral double garage and home office which again looks onto the garden. Climbing the stairs to the first floor the delightful galleried landing leads to all four of our bedrooms and family bathroom. At the front of the house we find our first two double bedrooms which both over look the common. The larger of the rooms benefits from two built in wardrobes whilst the smaller provides a perfect recess for our choice of free standing furniture. To the rear of the house we find bedroom four adjacent to the family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite that comprises a bath with shower and screen over, a low level w/c and pedestal hand basin. Completing the accommodation is the impressive master bedroom where twin in built wardrobes provide our storage solution and a door opens to the en-suite shower room.
