Description

Situated on the western edge of this popular village, the detached house known as Innisfree (due to beautiful outside space) is a charming family home with lots of potential and a fantastic setting next to the well-regarded village school. The property was built in the mid-1980s, and has been well maintained and is spacious and airy, with lovely gardens to the front and rear and ample parking. Internally the rooms are good sized, and the house has been somewhat modernised over the years with a series of improvements and extensions, with only cosmetic upgrades needed to bring this home up to its full and considerable potential.

The house has about 1700 sq ft of space on two floors, with a modern and well-planned layout that's well suited to family life, as well as professional couples or downsizers. On the ground floor, a 20ft sitting room runs the full depth of the house and has views over the front and rear gardens, an ideal space for entertaining. Separately there's a formal dining room at the front of the house which opens to the kitchen, utility room and boot room, with a cloakroom accessed from the entrance hallway. Upstairs, the principle bedroom has built-in storage, there is a second double bedroom and two good sized singles, one of which is currently used as a home office. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The gardens are a highlight of the home and have been well tended and much loved by the vendor, who has created a versatile space with several growing areas. There is a vegetable garden with a variety of fruit bushes, a greenhouse, potting shed, and an orchard area with apple plum, greengage and damson trees, while closer to the house there are well-stocked flower beds which offer colour and interest throughout the year as well as attracting wildlife. There is a terrace adjoining the house and a second paved area behind the garage, which feels private and secluded. To the front there is a gated tarmac driveway leading alongside the property to the double garage at the rear.
