About
Originally constructed as a telephone exchange, this individual property has been thoughtfully extended and now provides well-proportioned living accommodation, whilst retaining the flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.
As currently arranged, the property offers two double bedrooms, with the layout lending itself particularly well to those seeking multi-generational living, an independent annex arrangement, or the possibility of creating a downstairs bungalow with an upstairs annex.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, creating a bright and sociable area ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with built-in appliances and a useful breakfast bar, while the adjoining dining and living areas benefit from engineered wood flooring and an abundance of natural light.
The reception room provides a cosy focal point with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space during the cooler months.
A separate utility room adds valuable practical space, and there is also a downstairs bathroom.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, including a generous master bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes and a Juliet balcony, allowing the room to make the most of the property's pleasant outlook.
A further shower room serves the first floor. Externally, the property occupies a plot of approximately 0.33 acres, with the surrounding field views providing a wonderful rural backdrop.
A particularly useful feature is the large garage/workshop, offering excellent storage, parking and workspace potential.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, and the generous windows throughout ensure that the accommodation enjoys plenty of natural light.
