A detached family home offering spacious, flexible accommodation, double garage, secure gated parking and a low-maintenance garden, set opposite the village green in Charlton Down.

The Property Built in 2002, this generous detached home is beautifully presented throughout and occupies an edge-of-village position overlooking a green, with open countryside beyond and excellent walking directly from the doorstep.

The light-filled and flexible accommodation benefits from predominantly dual-aspect rooms.

There are two spacious reception rooms spanning the full depth of the property: One on the ground floor, currently arranged as a sitting room/dining room with French doors opening to the garden, and a similarly sized room on the first floor, ideal as a sitting room, playroom or fifth bedroom.

The triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with stylish cabinetry, work surfaces with matching upstands, and integrated appliances including a double oven, large gas hob with extractor, and dishwasher, together with space for an American-style fridge/freezer.

The dining area enjoys views over the green.

A utility room provides space and plumbing for laundry appliances, houses the gas boiler and offers access to the garden, alongside an under-stairs cupboard and cloakroom.

On the first floor, the landing provides space for a study area. There is also a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a modern shower room, and the additional reception room.

The second floor includes a linen cupboard and access to the loft.

The principal bedroom is a generous double with en-suite shower room, accompanied by two further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom fitted with a bath.

Outside The enclosed south-facing rear garden is simply landscaped, with a patio adjoining the house providing an ideal space for outside dining, and an area of lawn extending to a timber summer house/garden room.

A garden shed is discreetly positioned behind the garage. To the side, a gate gives access to the parking area, and there is the benefit of an outside tap and lighting.

The double garage offers useful eaves storage, with a door to the garden, power and light, and a single wide up-and-over door.

In front, a tarmac driveway provides parking for several vehicles, securely enclosed by double timber gates.
