Description

Set back from the main road and sheltered by mature hedgerow and trees, the property is approached via a private brick-set driveway, which runs alongside a neatly kept lawn garden and leads to a detached car port.

An original tiled porch opens into a welcoming and original tiled hallway, with doors to two impressive reception rooms and a convenient cloakroom tucked beneath the stairs. The sitting room is a bright, spacious family space, featuring a large front-facing window overlooking the garden and a gas fire set within an ornate tiled surround. A feature wood-panelled wall provides a partial divide and leads through to a useful home office with double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony.

Across the hall, the living room offers a cosy retreat centred around an open fire with an ornate cast iron surround, complemented by an original built-in display cabinet. This room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/diner, fitted with cream-fronted cabinetry and a complementary two-sided worktop with a one-and-a-half sink, space for a cooker, and ample room for a large dining table. Double doors open onto a Juliet balcony, offering picturesque views across the River Eea and open fields beyond.

A part-glazed door leads into the utility porch, which includes built-in storage, coat hooks, and plumbing for a washing machine, with a stable door opening onto the patio and lawn garden, perfect for outdoor living and entertaining.

Stairs off the hall ascends to the first floor split landing, where doors lead to two double bedrooms and a four piece bathroom. Both bedrooms provide similar sized double proportions overlooking the front garden and benefit from built-in wardrobes. The bathroom includes a modern four piece suite which includes a bath, an enclosure with wall mounted shower, WC and pedestal wash basin.

Stairs rise to a generous landing, giving access to two double bedrooms and a shower room. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front, offers spacious proportions and is enhanced by built-in wardrobes, an original cast iron fireplace, and access to a walk-in wardrobe providing excellent hanging and storage space. The second bedroom is also a well-sized double, enjoying views over the River Eea, with ample space for freestanding furniture and a useful storage cupboard extending beneath the stairs. Completing this floor is a modern shower room, fitted with a corner enclosure and wall-mounted shower, WC, and pedestal wash basin.

A further flight of stairs leads to the third floor, opening into a versatile room currently used for storage, but equally well-suited as a home office or playroom. From here, access is gained to a fifth double bedroom, complete with useful eaves storage and a Velux rooflight framing elevated views across open fields and farmland.

The basement level is reached from the main hallway, where a WC also sits. The cellar provides extensive storage, ideal for seasonal items and dry goods.
