Larkhill is a beautifully presented detached bungalow backing onto beautiful open fields. Positioned in the heart of the small village of Leckhampstead and surrounded by North Wessex Downs countryside, the property offers three bedrooms and spacious accommodation with attractive décor and high-quality fittings throughout. The main reception room is the 23ft sitting room at the front, with its bay window and handsome fireplace, which is fitted with a woodburning stove. Towards the rear, the family room, dining area and kitchen are adjoined in an open-plan layout, with the family room featuring a logburner, skylights in the vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto the rear gardens. The kitchen itself has shaker-style fitted units, central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, while there is also space for a family dining table. At the side, the utility room and store provide plenty of further space for appliances and home storage. Further back there is a study, ideal for home working. There are two double bedrooms towards the front of the property, both of which are similarly proportioned with built-in storage and en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom opens onto the rear gardens via French doors and enjoys access across the hallway to the large family bathroom with its roll-top bathtub and separate shower unit.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway features established shrub and hedgerow borders and provides plenty of parking space, including a covered car port. The rear gardens have a raised patio and an area of timber decking across the back of the house, with steps leading to a well-maintained lawn with colourful border beds filled with flowering perennials. A gravel pathway leads to the shed and a second seating area further down the gardens, with views beyond the picket fence at the rear and across the beautiful rolling fields beyond.
