It is set back from the road behind yew hedges in a walled garden. Further historic features such as sash windows, shutters, flagstone floors, beams and inglenook fireplaces provide an enchanting backdrop in this wonderful family home. It also has bags of versatile space across three floors and a superb, large, lawned rear garden.

Accommodation

A wisteria clad lattice porch frames the front door which opens to a very generous, central hallway. Flagstone floors set the tone here and throughout the three reception rooms. On the left is a spacious sitting room with an open fireplace and a large sash window to the south. To the right of the hallway is a second reception room with a large inglenook type fireplace, understairs storage and another south facing sash window. Both reception room windows have what look like original timber shutters. A door leads through to the dining room which has windows to the rear and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove.

The kitchen is to the left, it has cream fitted units, a solid timber worksurface, breakfast-bar, painted, tongue and groove upstands and a double ceramic sink. There's an electric Aga with separate hob and oven, along with space for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. This is a double aspect room with windows to the rear and west side along with an attractive, built -in timber alcove cupboard. A half-glazed door provides access to the gravel driveway and garden. In addition, to the rear of the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom and separate utility room containing a new gas boiler. This provides a worksurface, sink, built in cupboards, space for a washing machine and plenty of space for hanging coats and storing boots. There is also an exterior door leading to the rear courtyard and garage.

Stairs rise from the second reception room to a half landing. A door to the left opens to stairs which lead to a versatile room over the garage. This has roof lights and exposed beams. From the half-landing stairs continue to the first-floor landing. Here you will find 4 double bedrooms and a family bathroom and a family shower room. On the second floor there is another shower room and two further versatile rooms with roof lights, exposed beams and plenty of eaves storage. These could be bedrooms or this could be a semi-self-contained area for a teenager/granny/carer.

The house has an attractive, walled, front garden with mature yew hedges. A gravel driveway to the west provides parking with external infrastructure for EV point. At the rear of the property series of paved steps lead to a terrace which provides plenty of space for a table and chairs, steps continue up to the lawned garden. This is wonderfully private and walled on 2 sides, it has mature trees, shrubs and plenty of space and scope for a keen gardener to make their mark.

Steps then descend to the east end of the property, where there is a terrace and access to the utility room and the rear of the garage. Further garden steps ascend to the room above the attic. The garage has a timber garage door to the front, but this is not currently in use.
