The Dwellling

Beautifully maintained and immaculately presented throughout, the property offers a rare opportunity to further enhance and enlarge the accommodation by incorporating the double garage into the main house, creating exceptional additional ground floor living space, subject to the necessary consents.

Enjoying a desirable village setting, the property is complemented by exquisitely landscaped gardens, which provide a delightful backdrop and further enhance the appeal of this highly attractive home.

Accommodation
The property is approached via a substantial entrance porch, creating an impressive first point of arrival whilst also providing access through to the gardens beyond. From here, the kitchen is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped to cater to all culinary requirements, featuring a range of cabinetry together with breakfast bar. A useful adjoining walk in pantry provides additional storage and practicality, whilst the ground floor bathroom is conveniently accessed from this area.

The living room offers an elegant and welcoming principal reception space, bathed in natural light courtesy of its dual-aspect orientation and centred around an attractive multi-fuel burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

To the first floor, the landing is enhanced by a skylight above, allowing natural light to pour through the space. The principal bedroom is a beautifully proportioned double room enjoying delightful views over the gardens, complete with two windows featuring charming window seats and a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is equally well presented, benefitting from a dual-aspect outlook and further built-in wardrobe storage.

The accommodation is completed by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding roll-top bath, WC and wash hand basin, with attractive hardwood flooring lending warmth and character to the space.

Garden
Beautifully landscaped by the current owners, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of distinct areas, offering both variety and a wonderful sense of separation throughout the grounds. Predominantly laid to level lawn, each section is framed by well-stocked and established borders planted with an attractive variety of mature shrubs and seasonal flowers.

An additional lawned area is enhanced by established planting and mature beech hedging, creating a particularly private and tranquil setting. Perfectly positioned within the garden, a charming summer house provides an idyllic spot from which to enjoy the surrounding grounds.

Occupying the garden boundary is a substantial stone-built outbuilding, offering excellent storage and presenting exciting potential for conversion into additional ancillary accommodation or a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. The outbuilding benefits from pedestrian access to either side.

The property is approached via a private driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to the double garage, with adjacent external storage and oil tank. The garage is accessed via an up-and-over door and currently houses the boiler together with space for white goods.
