Upon entering through the front door, one turns left into a large, combined dining room and lounge. Double aspect windows give the room plenty of light. A contemporary wood burning stove complements the gas central heating in the lounge making a really cosy reception area. Double doors at the rear of the property lead out to an attractive wooden deck area with a pergola for shade.

KITCHEN (4m x 4,2m : 16,69m2)

Opposite the lounge, one crosses the downstairs corridor into the modern fully fitted kitchen. Light, wood-grained wall and floor units with brushed steel inset handles give plenty of storage. A central island provides further storage and seating in this well-designed space.

DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM 1 (4m x 3,3m : 13,1m2)

This bright bedroom has a window facing out to to the rear garden. A subtle accent wall has been created with a canvas-textured wallpaper featuring a calligraphy motif. There is ample space for a double bed, bed-side tables, a large double wardrobe and chests of drawers.

SHOWER ROOM (4,9m2)

In close proximity to the downstairs bedroom, the shower room has a large sink set on a cabinet with 2 drawers, 2 tall narrow matching cabinets, a modern shower cabinet, and a compact electric towel heater.

A separate WC of 1,5m2 is decorated in the same style next door.

BOILER CUPBOARD (0,8m x 0,9m : 0,7m2)

A vented cupboard houses the gas central heating boiler and provides a useful storage space.

CORRIDORS AND STAIRS

The downstairs corridor has beautiful wooden floors. Wood panel-effect walls have been painted heritage-blue with a picture rail and subtly striped wallpaper above. The wooden staircase has a lush grey carpet leading up to a generous landing with the stairwell rising in the centre of the space. A modern chandelier with large crystal drops hangs elegantly over the stairwell.

A generous shower room with toilet, a sink over a drawer unit with a mirror above and tiled splashback, a modern shower cabinet with rainfall, handheld and body spray options, a storage cabinet in the same style as the drawers and an electric towel rail. The mixed tile-style vinyl floor is warm and comfortable underfoot and gives continuity of decor with the shower room downstairs.

UPSTAIRS RECEPTION (2,9m x 2,2m : 6,3m2)

A larger area on the landing next to the window makes a useful reception space. Usable as a reading area, a place to listen to music or as an office space. Feature wall paper is used effectively to create a distinct zone.

CELLAR (9,3m x 7,4m : 69,2m2)

Accessible from the downstairs hall, the cellar covers the entire surface area of the house, and gives plenty of storage for the household.

WORKSHOP (2m x 8m : 16m2)

Set between the house and the neighbouring barn, this lockable area provides workshop space and storage for gardening tools.

GARAGE (4,7m x 5,6m : 26,3m2)

Located across the quiet lane from the house, the double garage sits on a separate parcel of land

LAND/GARDEN (1280m2)

A lovely mature garden with distinct zones gives multiple spaces to relax and socialise throughout the day. To the front of the house is a neat spacious gravel area. To the side of the house, a hedge with a fragrant archway separates the main garden from an area with a petanque terrain, the perfect space to erect a marquee for a summer party. To the rear of this area, numerous raised beds are easy spaces in which to cultivate vegetables. In the main garden, choose to relax either on the decked terrace with modern pergola which has doors to the lounge, or by the above ground swimming pool with a raised sun deck and sail shade.
