The Property

Inside

Ground Floor

A porch leads into the hallway, with doors giving access to the ground floor rooms. The sitting/dining room is a particularly generous and impressive space, featuring exposed ceiling beams and a brick fireplace housing a woodburner as a focal point, with room for a dining table alongside. A useful kitchen hatch connects the kitchen to the dining area. A further well-proportioned reception room provides a highly versatile space, with the potential to serve as a studio or ground floor bedroom, if desired. The adjoining ground floor shower room adds further flexibility to the layout. The kitchen is modern in style, fitted with a range of shaker floor and eye-level cupboards with laminate worksurfaces and a tiled floor, a built-in eye level oven and hob and a window overlooking the garden. A useful utility room completes the accommodation on this level.

First Floor

The landing gives access to all three bedrooms and the shower room. The principal bedroom and bedroom two are both well proportioned doubles, each benefitting from fitted wardrobe space, the wonderful original arched chapel windows and Velux windows flooding the rooms with natural light. Bedroom three is a further well proportioned room. The shower room serves all three bedrooms.

Outside

Garden

Enjoying a westerly aspect, the garden is enclosed and benefits from a high degree of privacy, screened from the road by mature trees and hedging and creating a wonderfully peaceful and secluded outdoor space. Laid mainly to lawn, it is a lovely space to sit and enjoy the surroundings, with plenty of scope for a purchaser to further develop and put their own stamp on it.
