THE PROPERTY 1 The Beeches is a very attractive detached house with a detached annexe, set in private well stocked gardens, well located within easy reach of The Square, local amenities and open countryside. It was traditionally built in the 1980s by Persimmon Homes, having reconstituted stone-faced elevations. Under the current ownership since 2003, it has been subject to extensive updating and alteration together with the conversion of the former double garage to create a self-contained detached annexe.
The house offers spacious, versatile and well presented accommodation with distant country views.
The excellent specification includes gas-fired central heating, replacement uPVC sealed unit windows/doors, upgraded cloakroom, upgraded well equipped kitchen with hardwood worktops and comprehensive appliances (electric oven, gas hob, integrated dishwasher), upgraded en-suite shower room and family bathroom with period style fittings, oak veneer internal doors, energy efficient LED downlighters throughout, upgraded floor coverings (laminated wood flooring, tiling and fitted carpets) and fitted blinds.
The detached annexe is also well appointed and ideal for a range of purposes, ie guest accommodation, for a dependent relative, working from home or for letting purposes. The excellent features include modern fitted kitchen with slot-in cooker/cooker hood and modern en-suite shower room with mains shower.
The property stands on a good sized, well stocked plot which benefits from recent landscaping and there is also excellent off-road parking.
OUTSIDE Good sized driveway.
The front garden is well screened and down to lawn together with a large adjoining paved terrace. Pedestrian gates to both sides of the house. The rear garden is good sized, facing southwest and, again, down to lawn together with a variety of shrub beds, adjoining paved pathways, pergola and reconstituted stone walls.
