Built in 1916 and refurbished by the current owners, the bright, versatile and spacious accommodation is well-presented throughout and arranged over two floors, ideal for entertaining and family living.

The well proportioned kitchen/dining room enjoys a fireplace with wood burning stove and double doors leading out to the south facing gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with a pensinsular breakfast bar, some integral appliances and space for a fridge/freezer.

A boot room with outside access and an adjoining cloakroom complete the ground floor.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms, two enjoying a southerly aspect and garden views and one with fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower, together with a generous laundry cupboard, to the hallway completes the accommodation.

A superb feature of the property is the charming guest annexe which comprises a sitting room, garden room, bedroom and en suite bathroom.

The established rear garden has a southerly aspect and is mainly laid to lawn with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, deciduous and evergreen trees providing a delightful back drop to the property and a high degree of privacy.

The property is approached via a shingle driveway which leads to the detached garaging and ample parking for several vehicles. To the perimeter, the area is enclosed by mature evergreen hedging and there is gated pedestrian access to one side of the property.

In total the plot amounts to just over 0.25 of an acre.
