4 Bed Detached House For Sale

The property
The eighteenth-century commemorative stones denote a property steeped in history which has been enhanced across the years to provide a characterful home where period features are blended with modern interior styling to provide for present-day lifestyles. Retained characteristics include distinctive stone mullioned windows,
exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace which provides an attractive focal point in the cosy sitting room where the warming ambience of the inset wood-burning stove can be enjoyed. The adjacent family room offers a flexible-use space and across the hallway a generous kitchen/dining room showcases a vaulted ceiling with oak framework, half-glazed door to the garden and skylight windows which flood this sociable setting with natural light. Fitted with contemporary wood fronted cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, alongside a complementary pastel-toned dresser with natural wood top, the kitchen features two free-standing units which create a subtle divide to the dining and casual seating area.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors, with modern shower room facilities and a family bathroom situated in the lower ground floor level. Supplemental accommodation is available in the splendid attached, thatched barn which once served as stabling and currently incorporates a gym and a workshop.

Outside
Timber gates give access onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking and leads to the
entrance and to the barn. A paved pathway offers a route to the porched entrance and continues around the edge of property with direct access out from the dining area, utility, and barn. There is an area laid to lawn, framed by attractive borders containing a colourful selection of shrubs and perennial plants, and interspersed with specimen trees. A secluded terrace has a stone wall surround with timber arch and offers a tranquil spot for alfresco dining and relaxation. There are numerous settings to place benches within the garden to enjoy the outlook over this outdoor haven and for the green-fingered, there are timber-edged raised beds for cultivation.
