Description

The Croft is a spacious detached home, situated in a desirable semi-rural location and enjoying beautiful views over the countryside. The original house has been extended and updated to create a wonderful family home offering light and spacious living.

The front door opens into the large entrance hall, with plenty of built-in storage, a log burner, and a feature fish tank window through to the dining area.

To one side is the "L" shaped sitting/dining room. The room has cleverly been separated with an open-beamed wall to create a games room. This could be fully closed off or opened up should one desire. The dining room overlooks the rear garden and has dual sliding doors onto the rear patio. The room opens into the thoughtfully designed solid oak, hand-painted kitchen. The kitchen features an array of built-in appliances including an instant hot water tap and central island. Off the kitchen is a utility room with a side door that leads back to the entrance hall, passing the snug and completing the ground floor with a cloakroom.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is complete with a walk-in dressing room and an adjoining en suite. The bedroom features a Velux balcony window enjoying views over fields at the rear. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via an electric security gate. There is ample driveway parking and an oak-framed timber garage, with electric car charger. The previous garage has been converted into a home office. On the ground floor is a large office space and a separate kitchenette and cloakroom at the rear. Stairs lead from the office to the first floor, currently used as accessible storage.

The rear garden is delightfully landscaped and mainly laid to lawn. It is enclosed on both sides and open to the rear via a post and rail fence to enjoy the outlook. Off the rear of the house is a large patio that offers plenty of space for entertaining and alfresco dining. At the rear of the garden is a workshop and to one side a sunken greenhouse.
