To the side of the property is a wonderful double garage accessed via two electric roller shutter doors. It features power, lighting, a door to the rear garden and an internal staircase providing access to the loft room above. The loft room is a versatile space with dual-aspect windows, offering scope for use as a home office, studio, games room and so on. On the other side of the house is a useful covered carport.
Upon entering the property, a charming snug welcomes you, brimming with character and ideal for home working. The room is centred around a brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, with a bookshelf on one side and a church pew on the other. Exposed timbers, flagstone flooring and stairs rising to the first floor add to the room's appeal.
Beyond the snug, a wonderfully spacious farmhouse-style kitchen awaits, providing an excellent area combining living and dining. The room features an impressive fireplace housing an antique-style multi-fuel stove, exposed beams, brickwork and quarry-tiled flooring. The kitchen area comprises matching wall and base units, a glass display cabinet, built-in oven and hob with extractor above, an American-style fridge freezer, downlighters, multi-aspect windows and doors leading to the living room, utility and side carport. There is also a useful cellarette.
An impressive bay-fronted living room completes the living accommodation, running from the front to the back of the property and centred around another fantastic fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. This excellent reception room also features wall lights, wood laminate flooring and French doors flowing nicely out to the rear garden.
A utility room and adjoining cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor accommodation. The utility has quarry-tiled flooring, wall and base units, space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a wall-mounted 'Worcester' boiler. The accompanying cloakroom is beautifully styled and decorated, including wood panelling, a wall-mounted washbasin and a low-level WC.

A beautifully styled bathroom complements the first-floor accommodation, recently refitted and comprising a washstand with twin washbasins, a freestanding roll top bath, a walk-in shower cubicle, tiled walls and a low-level WC.
A fantastic master suite and luxury family bathroom. The sizeable master bedroom floods with light from two windows overlooking the rear garden. The accompanying en-suite is fully tiled and has a corner shower cubicle, pedestal washbasin, chrome towel radiator and low-level WC.
Bedrooms two and three are spacious double rooms, both featuring cast iron fireplaces providing a nice focal point.
The fourth bedroom is a good size and can accommodate a double bed, with two windows to the rear aspect providing lots of light.
Gardens and grounds
A wonderful home such as this is not complete without quality outside space and the gardens here do not disappoint. The rear garden is particularly large and private, providing an excellent blend of landscaped areas ideal for entertaining, coupled with extensive sweeping lawns great for kids and dogs.

2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
