Ground floor

Enter the property via a uPVC double-glazed porch and through a green painted hardwood door into the hall which greets you with an airy high ceiling, herringbone oak-effect flooring, and an elegant, painted wooden staircase that rises to the first-floor landing. Panelled doors access the living room and kitchen/dining room.

The living room is beautifully proportioned, centred around a contemporary pebble-bed fireplace that brings a cosy focal point to the space. The walk-in bay window draws in natural light and offers a glimpse of the local church spire.

The kitchen/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home pairing crisp white cabinetry with bold black worktops and striking Art Deco-inspired tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, ceramic hob, angled extractor fan, slimline dishwasher and wine cooler. There are also a black sink and drainer unit and under-counter space for a washing machine. The central island creates a natural gathering point ideal for casual breakfasts or evening drinks. Herringbone oak-effect flooring flows throughout the room where there is space not just for dining, but for living — a room filled with light from generous windows, making it equally suited to family dinners or long, relaxed weekend brunches. A panelled door accesses a pantry-style cupboard with shelving and lighting, while a rear door leads to the garden.
First floor

The landing benefits from access to the loft space and a side-aspect window. Panelled doors access the bedrooms and bathroom.

The master bedroom is a well-proportioned double bedroom enjoying elevated views towards the church and featuring exposed varnished floorboards complemented by white walls to picture rail height and contrasting dark walls above and onto the ceiling to create a cosy feel. Either side of the chimney breast are floating shelves and a hanging rail.

To the rear, bedroom two is another double bedroom offering garden views and featuring an exposed brick bedroom fireplace — full of texture and personality. Again, the floorboards are exposed and varnished.

Bedroom three is also of a good size and would lend itself quite happily to a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office. Complete with fitted white window shutters, it enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden.

The bathroom is fresh and bright, fully tiled with a decorative mosaic border and fitted with a classic white suite and shower over bath; a practical yet stylish space to start and end the day. Also featuring a heated towel rail, front-aspect window and extractor fan.
Outside

The property occupies an elevated plot and is approached via steps rising to a predominantly gravelled front garden, thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance. A pathway leads to the front door and also provides access to the rear garden.

The south-easterly facing rear garden is of an excellent size and offers a wonderful outdoor setting. A painted timber deck creates the perfect space for al fresco dining, with steps leading up to the remainder of the garden. The plot slopes gently upwards and has been arranged into a number of usable areas, including a lawn with planting beds, a circular seating area and a further patio — ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests. Practical additions include a gravelled storage area, outside tap, exterior lighting and a weatherproof power socket.

At the top of the garden, a substantial timber and glass garden room provides a superb additional space. Featuring two sets of double doors, power and lighting, it is perfectly suited as an entertaining area, home office, studio or hobby room, while enjoying an elevated outlook back towards the house.
