This wonderful family home has been extremely well-cared for, extended and renovated by its current owners. Parts of this beautiful home are around 300 years old, with delightful period features including fireplaces, beams and traditional style doors, all adding to the character and charm of this property.

If you want a traditional home that caters for modern-day living, this turn-key home is perfect. The accommodation has been recently redecorated throughout and includes a brand-new Stoneham kitchen, a spacious living room, a study, a snug, a utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four excellent-sized double bedrooms, a spacious contemporary family bathroom and a brilliantly unique ensuite shower room in the master bedroom.

Outside, the gardens and grounds feature a sizeable lawned garden, plentiful secure gated parking, a garage, a carport and sheds. There is also a useful log store and electric car charging points for up to three vehicles.

The property can be accessed from the front or the rear. There is a formal entrance situated at the front, which is approached via a wrought iron gate, where there is a gravelled low maintenance walled fore garden with a secure side gate accessing the rear. The aesthetically pleasing façade features a quality solid wooden front door with a canopied storm porch over it. There is also a post office box fitted to the wall, which is a nice nod to its history as a former post office.

The second entrance to the home is extremely convenient as it is accessed via a block paved pathway, which leads from the parking area and driveway at the rear. This less formal entrance accesses the property through the utility room, which is used as the main entrance by the current owners and is ideal when returning home from a muddy walk in the countryside or dropping off the weekly shop.
