An attractive and well appointed village house with delightful gardens and wonderful rural views.

The Property

An attractive, well-presented and significantly updated brick and flint village house offering comfortable, welcoming and versatile accommodation understood to date back to c. 1901. Formerly a pair of farm cottages, over more recent years the house has evolved to become a lovely, detached family house arranged over two floors, offering a clever mix of character features combined with modern conveniences. The property offers particular notable features including a spacious, vaulted kitchen / breakfast room with exposed beams, Aga and wood burning stove, a well proportioned and comfortable drawing room with exposed timbers and open fireplace, three further reception rooms, five bedrooms and a lovely country position affording wonderful rural views.

Outside

Approached through a five bar gate, a gravel drive leads to the detached double garage and parking area. The beautifully arranged gardens are a particular feature of the property offering formal terrace areas in which to relax and entertain with the remainder of the garden being principally lawned, interspersed with attractive, well stocked mature floral beds and numerous mature trees. The garden affords the most delightful rural views across neighbouring farmland towards the village church in the distance. In all the sunny, enclosed southerly facing gardens extend to approximately 0.46 Acres (0.186 ha).
