Occupying an attractive position along a popular and peaceful lane, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers generously proportioned and highly versatile accommodation, complemented by a private rear garden, ample driveway parking and a useful range of ancillary spaces ideal for home working, hobbies or storage.
The property is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, with doors leading to the principal sitting room and kitchen/dining room. The sitting room is an impressive, well-proportioned reception space, enjoying windows to both the front and rear elevations together with double doors opening directly onto the garden. A central fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point to the room, while a further internal door creates a convenient link with the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of base units and matching wall-mounted cupboards together with twin neff electric ovens and induction hob, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a substantial freestanding fridge/freezer. The kitchen opens naturally into a generous dining area, creating an excellent everyday family and entertaining space. Twin Velux windows introduce an abundance of natural light, while double doors open directly onto the rear garden and a further door opens to the boiler and storage room.
A useful built-in utility area with sliding doors and plumbing for washing and dryer complements the kitchen/dining room. Beyond this is a substantial utility/workshop area, converted from the former garage and offering considerable flexibility for storage, hobbies or other uses. This in turn leads into a separate study, with windows to the front elevation and providing an ideal dedicated space for home working or creative pursuits.
The ground-floor accommodation is further complemented by a cloakroom fitted with a close-coupled WC and wash hand basin together with a window to the front elevation.
Stairs rise to a spacious first-floor landing, with a window overlooking the rear garden and access to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in scale, enjoying a window to the front elevation together with the notable benefits of a separate dressing room and a well-proportioned en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is also of a generous size, while the third and fourth bedrooms are positioned toward the end of the landing and offer versatility for family accommodation, guest rooms or additional workspace. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, close-coupled WC and wash hand basin.
Outside, the property is approached over a double-width driveway providing ample off-street parking. The remainder of the frontage is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed in part by established laurel hedging, creating an attractive approach.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, offering a private and secluded outdoor environment. An extensive patio provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which the garden is principally laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and established shrubbery. The oil storage tank is discreetly positioned within one corner of the garden.
The property enjoys an appealing setting along a popular quiet lane, providing a sense of privacy while remaining well placed for the amenities and facilities of the surrounding area. The peaceful position is ideally suited to purchasers seeking a family home away from busier roads while retaining convenient access to everyday services.
The combination of generous internal accommodation, versatile work-from-home and storage areas, ample parking and a secluded rear garden makes the property particularly well suited to modern family living. Its attractive lane setting further enhances the overall appeal, providing a comfortable balance between privacy, practicality and accessibility.
