LIVING ACCOMMODATION
Welcome inside the property, let’s take you on the tour.
Firstly, the moment you step through the front door into the hallway you will be amazed at the space, light and depth of this home, which gives you a good insight to the size of the house that you are about to view.
The entrance hallway is grand, boasting a central feature staircase which rises to the split-level landing. The hallway is stylishly presented, enjoying traditional touches to include a dado rail, ceiling coving which generally continues through the property, as well as having ceiling lights with traditional roses. There’s period style architrave around the doors, and the hallway has the benefit of twin central heating radiators, and boasts opulent porcelain tiles that continue through into the kitchen/dining area.
The hallway gives access to the dining/ sitting room, living room, office and through to the kitchen/diner, as well as a downstairs cloakroom, offering a pedestal wash basin with chrome mixer tap, toilet with dual flush and a window to the front elevation, all kept warm with a radiator with thermostatic control.
A key consideration I am sure when looking to purchase a property of this value, is the large open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining space. This home certainly delivers, working really well for the modern family, and a room that you will probably spend most of your day time whilst at home especially as the space boasts the beautiful view of the landscaped garden and with an abundance of windows sure is lovely and bright. Not only does it work well for the family, but perfect for when entertaining guests and friends. Or even when the kids are playing with friends in the garden or doing their homework or crafts at the dining table you can keep a watchful eye on them.
First and foremost, those opulent porcelain floor tiles continue through from the hallway which lead you in. Your first impression is that of space, especially with the extended dining section to the rear. You will find the room is naturally sectioned into two areas. Firstly, the kitchen offers a good compliment of beech door units with recently re-fitted quartz work-surfaces which provide plenty of working space with numerous power points around for small appliances. There is a built-in Hotpoint dishwasher, a 1 and a 1/2 Franke sink with chrome mixer tap, as well as having a built-in fridge and freezer. Furthermore, there is space for a Range cooker, although not included, the current owners may consider negotiating the cooker. The range area is complimented by a modern Rangemaster extractor fan over. Furthermore, there is a double glazed window to the side elevation to deliver even more natural light into the kitchen, whilst enjoying a breakfast bar, which is perfect for several bar stools to sit around with a cup of coffee, morning paper or a laptop. To the rear, the dining area is a superb space, and will easily accommodate the larger family dining table, perfect for the family meals, breakfast, or for entertaining.
The dining space offers an excellent compliment of windows around, to ensure plenty of natural light, but also to enjoy the delightful landscaped rear garden. There is also a door to the side to gain access to the patio which is perfect for opening out in the summer months, particularly when entertaining. The dining area has twin central heating radiators, ceiling light and the continuation of the porcelain tiles.
The kitchen benefits from a separate utility, which continues the theme of the kitchen units and work-surface, having a Franke sink with drainer, and provisions for washing machine with additional cupboard space over. The utility is also home to the boiler, and having a UPVC partially glazed door to lead out into the side patio, and through to the garden to take out the washing. There’s also a central heating radiator here, as well as an alarm control panel. There is a further door from the kitchen to access into the garage, perfect from bringing the shopping in, as well as the remote gate control to the drive.
We particularly like the reception rooms, where to the rear of the property is the living room, which boasts a delightful view of the landscaped garden via the large double glazed window to the rear, ensuring plenty of light, as well as an additional window to the side elevation. This is a lovely presented room, neutral in style, and offers plenty of floor space for multiple sofas, media centre and chairs.

There is good connectivity here for media equipment, with numerous power points, telephone socket, TV and satellite connection points and internet point. Another feature to this room are the French doors that link the front sitting/dining room, which means you can open these rooms up fully, front to back, ideal when entertaining or the extended family around for Christmas. The living room has central heating radiators, and both wall and ceiling lighting, all beautifully finished with traditional style coving, and architrave around the door frames.
The sitting room/dining room is set to the front of the property, and is accessed from the hallway, whilst also having those internal French doors opening into the living room. This is an adaptable space, whether you choose to use as a cosy sitting room for the kids, cinema/games room or a more formal dining room. This room boasts the view of the front garden, having a large double glazed window to ensure plenty of natural light, as well as a large central heating radiator.
Should you work from home, then this home certainly delivers on that front, where to the rear of the house is the study/office.

GAMES ROOM
A really cool feature about this executive family home is the loft room which has been adapted to created this amazing family games room.

The room delivers roomy floor space, full of useful storage cupboards, as well as void spaces for regular loft hide aways at either end of the room.
It get's even better.. the main event is the snooker table which is included in the sale, providing a great entertainment evening for friends, or for the kids to play, as well as the room having the ideal spot for a wall-mounted television and dartboard and just a chill out space for the kids, okay, or even the big kids really.

LANDSCAPED REAR GARDEN AND RELAXING SUMMERHOUSE
We really like the setting of this property, being in such a quiet spot in the village, again, when looking for a property of this calibre, then you’ll probably be considering not just a private location for the house, but allso a well-considered garden. You will not be disappointed.
The garden is super private and has been carefully and thoughtfully landscaped to work for a family, the quiet sunny moments and entertaining. The garden offers a large patio-perfect for entertaining, for outdoor dining table, sun loungers, whilst giving convenient access in to the dining area of the kitchen/diner for when you need to take the party back inside or making it easy when catering.

There is access along both sides of the property. To one side, you’ll find a water butt, and a handy storage shed, where to the other, is the gate leading to the driveway, and access into the garage and utility.
SUMMER HOUSE
Another super feature to the outdoor space is this rather grand summer house. A popular traditional-style construction, solidly built, enjoying a decking area under cover to sit and relax whilst enjoying the garden view, and perhaps a nice bottle of wine in a relaxing chair with a snug blanket at night. Or heading inside to stay warm via the sliding doors leading into the sitting area. This is perfect for some sofas and a table, as well as having twin opening double glazed window to the side elevation, power and lighting facilities to.
It’s really is a great space to sit if the weather is not so great outside, when entertaining or chilling out during the late evenings, particularly enjoying the view of the lit garden.

The summer house enjoys a tiled patio area around, which blends nicely into the garden design.
