About
A rare opportunity to acquire an established, detached home offering spacious and well-planned accommodation occupying a wonderful centre of village location with a private garden, ample parking and a double garage.
The property boasts an enviable position, tucked away on a private close shared with just two other detached properties and located right in the heart of the village.
The property was built in the early 1980s to a bright and spacious design with potential for expansion (stpc).
The property is accessed via a gravelled in-and-out driveway set back from the road with the added benefit of a double garage.
The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hall with stairs to the first floor accommodation, storage cupboard under and a cloakroom W.C. To the rear.
The dual-aspect sitting room is a bright and airy room boasting a feature gas fire with stone surround and hearth and sliding patio doors to the garden.
The kitchen/dining room boasts a triple aspect and is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces with an inset one-and-a-half sink unit with mixer tap and drainer, four-ring Neff gas hob, oven, extractor and space for a fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
Upstairs off the half-galleried landing are four bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobe cupboards, and a shower room comprising a low-level W.C., pedestal wash handbasin and a tower shower cubicle.
Outside, there is a gravelled in-and-out driveway with a parking area in front of the double garage with an electric up-and-over door, power and light connected, fitted storage cupboards and an expansive roof space above, which could potentially be converted into a hobby space.
Gated side access leads to the rear garden, which has been designed with ease-of-maintenance in mind in a Mediterranean style and enjoys a south-easterly orientation.
The garden is laid mainly to pavior and shingle with paved terraces and pathways, all bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds, a selection of specimen and fruit-bearing trees and mature hedging.
