There is a door from here that leads through to the kitchen/diner which is spacious with a large window overlooking the garden. There is another gas stove in this room which carries the warmth through the property. The kitchen itself is very well equipped with lots of worktop/prep space and cupboards (both wall and base) and there is further room for a good size dining table and chairs. A door leads through to the conservatory/boot room/utility with basin, which leads out into the garden. There is also a separate shower room, handy for guests/ families.

FIRST FLOOR

On the first floor, you are welcomed onto a landing which provides access to all four of the double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are also French doors which lead out to some steps, which lead down to the garden.

Bedroom one is a wonderful double bedroom, with space for a king-sized bed and additional furniture. This room is full of character, with exposed beam and a ledge that runs around the chimney breast, creating a lovely feature space for photographs and trinkets. This room has the added benefit of built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom two is a good size double bedroom with storage cupboard over the stairs. There is a window to the front, allowing for plenty of natural light. Bedrooms three and four are also very generous in size, with plenty of room for ample bedroom furnishings.

The family bathroom is a well-equipped room, with relatively new bath and shower over, w.c. and wash hand basin. There is a built-in storage cupboard within this room, in addition to storage below the sink. A Velux window keeps this room naturally bright throughout the day.

OUTSIDE

To the rear of the property is a fully enclosed, well established cottage garden with summer house, equipped with lighting and electric - ideal for enjoying the warm, tranquil summer evenings. The garden has an abundance of beautiful flower beds and shrubs, with a pathway leading to the main garden which is partly laid to lawn. This space has a really inviting feel and could be changed to suit any prospective purchaser's requirements, if desired.

Within the garden, you can access the workshop/shed, two very useful rooms which could suit a variety of different uses, subject to requirements.

Beyond this, is a tandem garage, providing ample storage for vehicles. This can also be accessed from the rear via up-and-over doors, through a small gate.
