What makes this house individual is the extended, versatile accommodation, boasting an independent self-contained annexe with a private entrance and garden ideal for an extended family, a mature relative, or an opportunity to use as an Airbnb.

The current owners have owned the property for over 24 years and, within their ownership, they have improved, extended, and lovingly maintained their family home. Number 88 certainly offers a home ready for memories to be made, whether it be with the family, entertaining guests in the large family dining kitchen, or enjoying many a family BBQ in the extensive landscaped private garden. There is nothing not to love about this charming home, and we are sure you will not be disappointed on an internal viewing.

Arriving at the property, you can choose your spot on the driveway as there is ample parking for 5-6 cars. Once through the front door, you enter the welcoming hallway, and the sense of space and natural light starts right here and continues into all of the rooms. The hallway offers access to the study, but this study offers so much more as it has an independent kitchenette, cloakroom, and shower room. It also has a separate access via the porch for anyone working from home who wants clients to visit but not disturb the family home.

The sitting room overlooks the front of the house via a large bay window and enjoys the period features of a picture rail and open fire. The jewel in the crown is the fabulously proportioned dining family kitchen. Offering a ”U” shaped space large enough for cooking, dining, and wrapping itself into a family snug with a log burner. The creative shape of the room offers open plan, but still a cosy, homely feel for the family to enjoy. Let's not forget the French doors that open onto the stunning mature garden, ready for the summer evenings of enjoying BBQs and alfresco dining late into the evening.

Located off the kitchen for convenience is the utility room offering space for your washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge freezer. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom off the hallway.

The first floor offers extended accommodation and allows a master bedroom suite with a bay window, dressing room, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower over the bath. The guest bedroom (bedroom two) also offers an en-suite shower room, and the two further double bedrooms share a luxurious family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.

Now to the annexe, which can be accessed via the main residence, allowing it to easily be included back into the home, or via the private entrance from the front driveway. This is fully self-contained with a studio sitting room/bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The annexe also enjoys its own private enclosed garden.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with raised planted borders, hedging, and trees. There is a decked area ideal for dining and entertaining. Positioned at the very end of the private garden is the log cabin that has enjoyed many uses, including additional accommodation, a games room, and a hobby room! This enjoys being insulated, a wood burner, electricity, and lighting.

Viewing is an absolute must to appreciate the accommodation on offer, the stunning rear garden and position.
