The property occupies a prominent, centre of village location, yet set back from the road and set within the most beautiful gardens and grounds with the local primary school and village amenities all on the doorstep. The current owners have resided there for many years and in that time, have skillfully extended the property several times and periodically updated and refurbished resulting in generously proportioned and beautifully presented accommodation. There is a generous driveway accommodating numerous vehicles, a garage with an electric door and mature and private gardens of approximately 0.4 acres.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall to a welcoming reception hall with stairs to the first floor, Karndean flooring and a cloakroom w.c. just off. There is a generous sitting room with a woodburning stove, which opens to a dining area. Both rooms have French doors out to the wonderful garden room extension, with a glazed rear elevation, which bifolds fully, incorporating the garden beyond. There is a further large reception room plus an office / playroom with a vaulted ceiling incorporating Velux rooflights. The kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces with an inset one and a half sink unit with mixer tap and drainer a range of integral appliances including a four-ring halogen hob, double oven, extractor, dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge-freezer. The kitchen incorporates a utility corner with a fitted worksurface and below there is space for a washing machine and tumble dryer plus a door out to a covered side walkway area.
Upstairs, there are four large double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobe cupboards and a family bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a large walk-in dressing room and a ensuite shower room.
Outside, the property is set back and screened from the road with a generous block-paved and shingled driveway accommodating several vehicles and leading to the garage with an electric roller door, power and light connected. From the garage, there is a door into the office/playroom. Gated access leads to a covered side walkway to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to manicured and shaped lawns with a generous paved patio terrace, ideal for alfresco dining, a large wildlife pond and a pathway with a pergola over leading to a further terrace. Beyond, is a further expanse of lawn incorporating a meadow with a selection of mature trees and bushes and a vegetable, herb and fruit garden with timber shed and greenhouse. Towards the end of the garden, a portion of the lawned area declines slightly as it was historically part of an ancient moat. At the end, the garden backs on to a spinney and fields beyond. The whole enjoys excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
