The Property
Chestnut Lodge was built in 1986 and is constructed of traditional brick walls underneath an interlocking tiled roof and rendered elevations. The wide entrance hall has a staircase leading to the first floor and doors leading to the principal rooms. The largest reception room is the sitting room which is an attractive double aspect room with large French style patio doors leading out into the garden. The room has an inglenook style fireplace with an inset wood burner and exposed beams, offering a cottage style feel in a very well proportioned room. Two further reception rooms open off the hallway and these comprise a spacious snug and a dining room with exposed beams. Both rooms have windows to front aspect. The kitchen has recently been refitted with a high quality shaker style kitchen with units to three walls. The units are nestled around the built in Aga, which offers another cooking method in addition to the free-standing electric oven. The base units are covered by marble worktops and splashbacks and inset into the work surface is a stainless steel sink/drainer. At the other end of the kitchen is room for a dining table and chairs. The utility room adjacent, houses the oil fired boiler and further storage available in a range of built in units. The utility has room for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A door leads to the side lobby which opens into the integrated garage and provides a useful space for storage of coats and boots, with a door leading to the front elevation. Once you have walked up the staircase, you will come to a galleried landing with a large airing cupboard and a access trap for the loft space above. In total there are five bedrooms of which all are good sized doubles. Situated at either end of the house are the two largest which both have en-suite shower rooms. The master is to the south elevation and the guest suite to the north, both have built in wardrobe cupboards. The family bathroom has a window to the front elevation, panelled bath with shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
Outside
On approach, a shingle driveway leads up to the plot and next to the house the driveway widens to provide parking and a turning area for vehicles. The parking area leads up to the integral garage which measures 17ft6 x 8ft6 with all utilities connected. At the end of the driveway, the lawned garden begins and stretches to the west and south boundaries. With a variety of herbaceous borders, flowering shrubs and fruit trees, the garden is very well stocked and is ideal for families or keen gardeners. The gardens have lovely views over neighbouring farmland with rolling hills beyond. In all, the gardens amount to over 0.5 acres (sts) and are predominately south facing.

The property is located in the most wonderful location being in the centre of the village yet in immediate privacy from neighbours and the village.
