A private driveway from The Common meanders to this handsome, detached residence which is set in approximately half an acre of charming gardens and within a Conservation Area. Enjoying enviable rural aspects, the property is just a short walk to the village amenities yet close to both road and rail commuter links. Drenched with character and set over three floors, the accommodation comprises a principal lounge with gallery, further reception room, well-appointed breakfast kitchen, separate utility room and store, and four double bedrooms – each with en suite facilities.
The composite door with opaque leaded inset opens to the
convivial hallway having a window to the front, pendant light to the
ceiling with exposed rafters, and a spindle staircase rising and turning to
the first floor and having a cupboard beneath.
Mahogany doors open to each of the rooms off including the principal
lounge with full-height vaulted ceiling, crossed by a king truss, edged by
a galleried landing and which has a panel window to the front and two
windows to the rear with splendid rural aspects.
The eye is drawn to the
feature wall with inset beam above the ingle fireplace which houses a
multi-fuel stove resting on a raised stone flagged hearth. A fitted
cupboard with bookshelves sits to one side and there is a mounted
television point set on the wall between the windows.
From the lounge, a door opens to the inner hall which gives way to the
cloakroom, ground floor bedroom and staircase to the lower floor.
The dining kitchen has a window overlooking the front garden, recessed
downlighting, tiled flooring and a vertical panel radiator. The ivoryshaded high-gloss wall and base units with brushed steel handles, have
splash tiling between levels and incorporate a wall-inset television,

inset one and a half bowl stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, and
space below for an automatic dishwasher. Also inset is a Neff five-ring
induction hob with complementary extractor fan over and an eye-level
double oven and grill close by. There is more than ample space for a
dining table and chairs in the centre of the room.
A door from the kitchen leads to a family room with French doors,
having glazed panels to either side, overlooking and opening to the front
terrace garden. Lit by recessed downlighting, the generously spacious
room has a radiator and cupboards housing the electric consumer board

of the two forming the backdrop to the three-piece white suite of vanity
cabinet set wash hand basin with mono-bloc tap and illuminated mirror

From The Common, a lengthy private gravel driveway leads around to
the paved area which provides parking for several cars and rises to the
extensive sun terrace to the front elevation of the property which is
beautifully draped in a stunning wisteria. The terrace has space for a
barbecue/al fresco dining area and also and area for a garden suite for
relaxation whilst enjoying the wonderful rural views. The driveway is
lined by mature hedging to one side and a deep, stone-wall edged border
of mature shrubs to the other with inset steps down to a lawn having a
hawthorn hedge to the boundary and a timber storage shed for garden
equipment. Further steps down give way to a lower-level cobbled seating
area outside the French door of the lower floor bedroom. There is also a
further, smaller lawn area at the end of the drive, again, having mature
shrub borders and also a security light. At the end of the garden is a
turning area alongside a large plot which could possibly be used for
further parking, home office pod etc…..
