DESCRIPTION This highly individual detached house was built, we understand, circa 1965, and, having been extended in the 1970s and again around 20 years ago, has been a much-loved home to our client for over 40 years in all. Internally, the accommodation is bright and flexible, now in need of modernisation, and comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two receptions, plus a study, totalling over 1800sqft. The house may also offer scope for further extension and/or remodelling, to suit the needs and lifestyle of an incoming owner, subject to any necessary consents or approvals. The property additionally benefits from an integral double garage and separate workshop, good energy efficiency, and attractive front and good-sized rear gardens to complete the picture of this very appealing, well-rounded and adaptable village home.
ACCOMMODATION The house is accessed beneath a covered entranceway into a central hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor, and there is a useful understair coats and boots cupboard and a cloakroom. The ground-floor accommodation can then be summarised as follows: a bright, dual-aspect sitting room centred around a multi-fuel stove, with an attractive view over the front garden and patio doors to the rear; at the head of the hallway, the fitted kitchen; the very attractive dining room extension, which connects to the rear garden through one set of patio doors, one set of bi-fold doors and a separate pedestrian door; an inner hallway; a small office/study space with a side external door; a dedicated utility room with internal access to the double garage.
The kitchen is equipped with a good range of contemporary Italian units, including pull-out pantry-style cupboards, with roll-top work surfaces incorporating a double-bowl sink, and a movable preparation surface. Integrated appliances include a Miele 4-ring electric hob, Montpellier double oven, a further Neff oven and a slimline Bosch dishwasher.
On the first floor are the four bedrooms and the family bathroom, which features a traditional panelled bath and fully tiled walk-in shower enclosure, and a separate WC. The principal bedroom has provision for an en-suite bathroom (not fully connected), fitted wardrobe space and patio doors to a flat roof terrace. There are two further doubles, one front-facing and one overlooking the gardens, both with fitted wardrobe space, and a generous single.
OUTSIDE A gated, block-paved driveway provides good space for several vehicles and leads to the integral double garage, which has power, lighting, and twin up-and-over doors, and a separate workshop at the rear. The drive is flanked by a pretty, well-kept front garden with a mature border featuring some established acers and a large magnolia. The southeast-facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established hedge borders and some mature trees, and there is a sizeable, block-paved sun terrace outside of the sitting and dining rooms, over which is an extendable, motorised awning. At the foot of the garden is a greenhouse and fruit cage, both in need of some improvement, and a metal tool and storage shed.
