The Showstopper: The Vaulted Sun Room
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the spectacular rear sun room extension. This isn't just a summer room; with underfloor heating, it’s a versatile, year-round sanctuary. The dramatic vaulted ceiling and Velux windows bathe the space in natural light, while sleek bifold doors erase the boundary between inside and out. It flows effortlessly from the modern kitchen-diner, creating a social hub perfect for everything from busy family breakfasts to evening dinner parties.
An Oasis of Calm: The Super-Sized Garden
Rarely do you find a village home with such an extensive, mature rear garden. Barely overlooked and completely private, it features a large patio for entertaining and a lush, sprawling lawn. It’s a true private sanctuary where children can play and adults can unwind in total peace.
The Layout
Ground Floor: A welcoming separate living room at the front provides a cosy retreat, complemented by a convenient downstairs WC and excellent kerb appeal thanks to the shingle front garden and private driveway.
First Floor: Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms, a well-proportioned third single bedroom, and a modern family bathroom.
