About
To book your viewing, when calling quote reference: RY0585 Accommodation The front door opens into a small entrance porch before leading into a spacious sitting room, which forms the central hub of the home.
A bright bay window allows plenty of natural light to fill the room, while a wood-pellet burning stove creates an attractive focal point.
From here, there is access to the ground-floor bedrooms and bathroom, stairs rising to the first floor and double doors opening directly into the kitchen and dining room.
The kitchen and dining room provides an excellent sociable space, with ample room for a dining table and chairs alongside a recently upgraded, modern kitchen.
There is a good range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers with generous work surface space, while integrated appliances include a counter-height fridge, electric oven and induction hob with extractor canopy over.
From here, there is also direct access to the garden, creating a connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Two generous double bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, with the rear bedroom providing comfortable double accommodation, while the front bedroom offers excellent versatility and could equally serve as a separate reception room or snug.
From here, an extended section of the property leads into a useful triple-aspect office, providing an ideal space for those working from home and benefiting from its own door leading out to the garden.
Serving the ground-floor bedrooms is a particularly spacious four-piece family bathroom, comprising a WC, wash basin, separate bath and large shower enclosure.
The room is finished with a fully tiled surround and also features a heated towel rail and obscured window to the rear.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to a small first-floor landing, where a particularly large storage cupboard provides useful additional space.
One of the first-floor bedrooms is a comfortable double room featuring Velux windows creating a bright dual aspect, with one also providing a fire escape route.
Completing the accommodation is the impressive principal bedroom suite.
Generously proportioned and flooded with natural light from three Velux windows, the room also benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe and its own en-suite wet room comprising a WC, wash basin and shower.
Positioned downstairs separately from the main accommodation is a useful detached utility room, conveniently accessed via a covered walkway close to the kitchen.
This provides a sink and drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a wall-mounted boiler and a separate WC. The same external covered area can find rear access to the garage.
Outside & parking To the front, a brick-paved driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles alongside a low-maintenance garden predominantly laid to shingle and complemented by established hedgerow borders and a selection of shrubs and small trees.
A pathway continues alongside the property, providing access to the entrance and rear garden.
The enclosed courtyard garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and acts as a real sun trap, providing a private and attractive space to relax or entertain throughout much of the day.
Predominantly brick paved for ease of maintenance, the garden also features an area of shingle, an assortment of established shrubs and potted plants, a useful storage shed and enclosed brick wall and fenced boundaries.
The property also benefits from a substantial detached garage, positioned beneath part of the first-floor accommodation with a covered walkway separating it from the ground floor of the home.
The garage is connected to power and lighting, features an electric roller door to the front and can also be accessed via a pedestrian door to the rear.
