Description:
Wheatsheaf House is a charming, detached period property located in a prime position within the village, offering attractive accommodation arranged over two floors. The property, which was once a local pub, features exposed brickwork, timber beams and wooden floorboards, alongside stylish modern fittings and décor. The house benefits from large sash windows bathing the house in natural light. The principal drawing room extends to 25 feet and is fitted with a log burning stove and oak floorboards. The formal dining room has an impressive original brick-built inglenook fireplace. In addition there is also a study and a library, with bespoke wooden built-in shelving. The kitchen/breakfast room is a particular focus of the house and has high quality shaker-style units, a central island and a smart range cooker, as well as space for a breakfast table. There is also a very useful utility room with pedestrian door to the garden. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its luxury en suite bathroom. All of the bedrooms are beautifully presented, and the en suite bathroom and the shower room both feature stylish, contemporary suites. On the first floor there is also a dressing room with fitted storage, which could be used as a further bedroom if required. The property benefits from a cellar with a vaulted brick ceiling, which is currently used as a gym and games room.

Access for vehicles is to the side of the house, where a lane leads to electric gated access onto the gravel driveway. There is a single garage at the rear of the house, which is ideal for storage and as a workshop.
