This wonderful village home dates back to the early 1700s. The property is brimming with period features including original exposed beams, which seamlessly blend with the modern extension comprising a spacious and versatile reception room, a utility room and a wet room.
The original part of the building has a lovely cosy feel and includes a country-style kitchen, a sitting room with a log burner and a dining room featuring an open fireplace situated on the ground floor. Upstairs, there is a shower room and three bedrooms, two of which are spacious double rooms.
The property is approached via a block-paved pathway with plantings and trees to the left. The pathway leads to a porch-covered entrance where a glazed front door opens into the home.
Outside, there is plentiful parking easily accommodating up to six cars. In addition, there is also a marvellous, oak-framed triple garage incorporating a workshop within one of the bays. This wonderful asset has scope for conversion, subject to the usual permissions being granted.
Entrance
As you enter the property you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway with tiled flooring, a staircase rising to the first floor, doors accessing the sitting room, dining room and extension to the rear, and an opening through to the kitchen.
Dining room
Situated to the left of the hallway is the dining room. This lovely room has a window to the side and a most impressive open stone fireplace with a beam at its focal point.
Sitting room
The sitting room has a lovely cosy feel and includes a log burner set upon a slate hearth with a wooden mantle above. There is also a window with pleasant views out to the war memorial to the front.
Kitchen
From the hallway, there is open access to the kitchen. This traditional style country kitchen has base units, with work surfaces over incorporating a one-and-a-half bowl sink with a drainer and mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a gas double oven and hob with an extractor above.
There is tiled flooring, recessed spotlighting to the ceiling, plenty of space for a table and chairs, space for a tall fridge freezer and a wall-mounted display unit. The kitchen also houses the boiler, has space under counter for a dishwasher and two windows, one looking through to the modern extension at the rear and one to the side looking over the driveway.
Extension
The modern extension is a fantastic light and airy space featuring underfloor heating, a skylight and recessed spotlights to the ceiling, a large window to the side elevation and large windows and patio doors accessing the garden and offering the most beautiful garden views.
This incredibly spacious room has plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and further lounge furniture, making this room ideal for entertaining.
Utility room
Also forming part of the modern extension are a utility room and a wet room, both situated to the right side of the property.
The utility room has a floor-to-ceiling unit, a base unit, worktops and a Belfast-style sink with a mixer tap. This useful room also includes shelving, an obscure-glazed door to the side and space under counter for a washing machine and a dryer.
Wet room
Completing the ground floor accommodation, there is a wet room comprising a low-level WC, a washbasin, a rainfall shower with a separate handheld shower attachment, tiling to the splashbacks, waterproofed flooring and a window to the rear elevation.
First floor
Upstairs, there is a spacious landing area featuring a window to the side elevation and doors granting access to the bedrooms and shower room.
Bedroom one
The two double bedrooms are both wonderfully spacious double rooms, with exposed, original wooden flooring. Bedroom one includes built-in wardrobes and two windows to the side elevation.
Bedroom two
The second bedroom is situated to the front, with built-in wardrobes and lovely views to the front from the window.
Bedroom three
Situated to the rear, bedroom three is a single room with a window looking over the garden.
Family shower room
The family shower room is perfectly functional but would benefit from some updating. The shower room comprises a low-level WC, a washbasin, a sizeable shower unit, tiling to the splashbacks and a window to the side aspect. It should be noted that although the shower room does not include a bathtub, there is plenty of space to fit a bath and a separate shower unit here if required.
Garden
The mature garden is generous in size and has multiple patio areas, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, with lawned areas featuring pathways meandering through the garden and a spring water well.
This lovely garden is incredibly private and has a lot to offer, comprising an array of mature planting and shrubbery to the beds and borders, a pergola, trellising, two sheds, established fruit trees, a vegetable patch and a chicken run. There is also a summer house included, which would benefit from a little TLC.
Services
The property has mains gas, mains electricity, mains water, a septic tank and broadband.
