The Limes is a superb, detached family home set in a private position on the edge of town, boasting a large garden and uninterrupted views over the surrounding hills. In addition, there is an attached 3.17 acre paddock with gated access from the garden grounds.

Built in 1979 this generous property offers an abundance of natural light, well-proportioned rooms and a flexible layout. Most rooms enjoy a dual aspect via large, arched windows. The present owners have taken great care in upgrading The Limes over the past fifteen years, and the house offers high quality fixtures and fittings with bespoke joinery and a Shaker style kitchen, an impressive, landscaped garden and even a resistance swimming pool.

Accommodation

A solid oak front door with glazed side panels, opens to a generous and welcoming reception hall. The main feature of this space is the impressive sweeping staircase with galleried landing above, bespoke made by Hiddleston Joiners. There is a solid oak floor and direct access to all principal ground floor rooms.

The sitting room boasts a dual aspect (as do most rooms in the house) with full height arched windows maximising the view across the garden and field, to the hills. This lovely room features an engineered oak floor and has doors to both the kitchen and the hall.

The kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home and comprises a Shaker style kitchen with complementary worksurfaces and a large central island that houses the stainless-steel sink. There is a gas range cooker and integrated appliances include a dishwasher, full size fridge and freezer. The kitchen is flooded in light and has ample room for dining furniture, as well as providing access to the rear garden and direct access into the useful internal boiler room, which also provides storage units and houses the hot water tank.

To the southern elevation of the home is a bright reception room, presently used as a home office, that enjoys those fabulous views towards the hills, and a large utility/boot room with WC off.

The fine staircase rises to a light and spacious first floor landing that features bespoke built-in shelving and a desk. The principal bedroom boasts a dual aspect, built-in cupboard and a walk-in wardrobe, offering hanging and shelving. There is also an ensuite bathroom, comprising bath with hand-held shower attachment, a generous shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin set into a vanity unit and tiled surrounds.

The second bedroom has a sunny corner position with far reaching views and features a walk-in wardrobe providing hanging and shelving. The remaining two bedrooms are both doubles in size. The family bathroom comprises a bath with handheld shower attachment, a corner shower cubicle, WC and a wash hand basin set in a vanity unit.

In summary, this is a charming, homely property with so much character, superb views and lovely features throughout, and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The mature, well-established gardens wrap around the house and are a real credit to the present owners, who are keen gardeners. The immaculate grounds have been beautifully landscaped, featuring expansive areas of lawn bordered by low stone walls, productive flower beds, mature shrubs and bushes, raised beds and a fruit cage, while a smart porcelain tiled path and terraces offer the ideal spots for alfresco entertaining, with a feature pergola to the larger terrace. Lovely open views can be enjoyed from most areas in the garden.
