A handsome, detached Georgian House with spacious and well-planned accommodation, set within established gardens with various outbuildings and enjoying a centre of village location.
This most attractive, traditional four-square Georgian house boasts a fine, centre of village location and is set within established gardens and grounds. The current owners have resided there for many years and in this time have made numerous improvements including the original conversion from when the property was the village store some thirty years ago. In more recent times, a beautiful orangery extension has been constructed.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor accommodation. There are two elegantly proportioned reception rooms, including the sitting room with a feature open fireplace and a bay-windowed dining room with original fireplace. The bay-windowed kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar, four-ring ceramic hob, double oven, extractor with space for a fridge with doors out to the orangery, which boasts a roof lantern and panoramic views over the garden. Off the rear lobby is a large utility / boot room with space for the usual white goods, a fitted work surface with a single sink and drainer, and fitted storage cupboards including a pantry cupboard with a cloakroom w.c. just off.
Upstairs off the galleried landing, is a large walk-in store room, three double bedrooms including an ensuite to the master and a family bathroom.
Outside, there is a driveway providing off-road parking for three to four vehicles. The barn and garage have been recently converted and could be utilised in various ways. It is currently being utilised as a large workshop, generous office, walk-in store room plus a loft room. There is a further garden store and tool shed adjacent. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with flower and shrub borders and beds, further raised beds and a greenhouse and all enjoys good levels of privacy.
