About
Occupying a pleasant and private semi-rural position, this spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
The property offers a wonderful balance of accessibility and tranquillity, with the established garden, log burning stove, fitted kitchen, septate dining room, bright conservatory and open outlook creating a stunning setting.
The current owner has enjoyed the surprisingly quiet nature of the property, despite its convenient proximity to the A50, while the surrounding fields and woodland provide attractive countryside walks directly from the doorstep.
Our Sellers Thoughts: "I have loved living and bringing up my family in the property since 1997.
It is a beautiful location with a fantastic community of friendly neighbours who have all similarly been here for many years.
It’s a real family home, which I will be very sad to leave but a change in circumstances means it is too big for me, and I am looking to downsize." Accommodation - Ground Floor The entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms, a WC and the staircase rising to the first floor.
Positioned at the front of the property, the living room is a well-proportioned reception space with a wide window allowing plenty of natural light.
A log burning stove is set within the chimney breast, while glazed double doors connect the room with the dining room.
The kitchen is fitted with a matching selection of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer.
