Description

Constructed in the 1970s, this residence features a range of original elements that contribute to its character and charm. With a semi-open-plan layout, the property is designed to maximize natural light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads into the main living areas. The lounge is particularly noteworthy, boasting triple-aspect views through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, which not only illuminate the space but also frame picturesque views of the mature garden. The working fireplace, surrounded by exposed stonework and featuring a rustic quarry-tiled hearth, adds both warmth and a distinctive touch to the room. Adjacent to the lounge is the dining area, where large windows provide garden vistas and direct access to outdoor seating. The kitchen/breakfast room benefits from dual-aspect windows as well, ensuring it remains bright throughout the day. Equipped with fitted base units and space for essential appliances, it holds potential for modern upgrades that could enhance functionality further. For those requiring additional workspace or storage solutions, there is a study featuring built-in shelving and a rear window that connects you with the outdoors. A convenient cloakroom on this level includes essential amenities along with under-stairs storage. Upstairs reveals four bedrooms with substantial dimensions. The primary bedroom stands out with its dual aspect windows offering stunning countryside views. Two additional double bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests, while the fourth bedroom is suitable as a single or office. Charming pitched ceilings with exposed wood panelling adorn two of these rooms, adding character and interest. The family bath/wet room is equipped with essential fixtures and offers opportunities for renovation. Set on an expansive landscaped plot, this property boasts significant outdoor space adjacent to established trees and flowering shrubs that create an inviting private sanctuary. The patio areas are ideal for outdoor leisure activities or meals al fresco. Parking is plentiful thanks to the driveway leading up to a detached double garage which not only serves as storage but also presents further potential for conversion into usable space if desired. This property represents an excellent opportunity for renovation or investment in a desirable location while retaining its unique charm from decades past.
