About
A detached family home set within a highly sought-after village location, just a short walk from the village primary school, one of the area’s most popular pubs, and surrounded by beautiful countryside walks.
Occupying a generous plot, this beautifully presented home offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation ideal for modern family living.
The ground floor centres around an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, which flows seamlessly into the dining area and further into a light-filled conservatory, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.
A spacious living room enjoys direct access to the rear garden via sliding doors, while a separate study provides the perfect home office or playroom.
The ground floor is completed by a welcoming entrance hall and a convenient W.C.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all serviced by a stunning, recently refitted family bathroom.
The property has undergone an extensive refurbishment with significant investment, including a modernised kitchen featuring a quality NEF oven and CDA extractor fan, a replaced bathroom, new driveway, new front door, and redecoration throughout — all finished to a high standard.
Outside, the home continues to impress with a generous rear garden, additional side garden, garage, and off-road parking for at least 2–3 vehicles.
The garden enjoys a lovely open outlook, ideal for families and those who enjoy outdoor living.
