Description

Set well back from the road this extended property was constructed in 1989 and offers surprisingly exceptional accommodation (3320 sq ft in total), with well proportioned rooms over two floors. On entering, there is a double-height atrium hallway which immediately conveys a feeling of light and space which continues throughout. The sitting room features an open fireplace and then leads to the dining room which has double doors to the garden, as does the study and the library. The kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted with space for informal dining. A utility room, cloakroom and a storage room complete the ground floor accommodation.
The landing on the first floor features a walkway from one side to other and a cosy reading area. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, as does the second bedroom, whilst there are three further bedrooms served by the well appointed family bathroom.
To the front of the property is a double garage, which can also be accessed via the house, with a gravelled driveway providing ample parking.
The rear garden is an absolute delight, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and small trees. There is a sizeable terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, a pretty summerhouse and a log store.
