A really exciting opportunity to purchase a truly individual, detached, deceptively versatile home offering a sprawling level of accommodation which, including its integral double garage and attached annexe, extends to approximately 3,500 sq.ft., occupying what is a delightful, established and generous plot lying in excess of 0.4 of an acre.
This is a really interesting home which could appeal to quite a wide audience whether it be families, particularly those with older children, or also those with extended families as the property benefits from an attached annexe which would be ideal for those with dependent relatives or teenagers. Alternatively it could offer potential as an office suite or be incorporated into the house to add an additional two bedrooms.
The predominance of the accommodation lies to the ground floor which could well appeal to those downsizing from considerably larger dwellings while the first floor annexe suite above the double garage provides a further self contained apartment comprising a double bedroom, sitting room, shower room and kitchen.
The main accommodation in its current layout provides five main reception areas, including a living and separate sitting room both of which afford a light and airy space with dual aspects, a further dining room, breakfast room and study. A centrally located kitchen links via the hallway into the breakfast room and, in turn, the living room which provides an excellent hub perfect for everyday living. Located off an inner hallway are four double bedrooms, the master benefitting from ensuite facilities, separate main bathroom and a further useful utility room and boot room. The property offers an excellent level of storage with walk in cupboards and pantry as well as its substantial integral double garage.
The property is tastefully presented throughout with neutral decoration and modern fixtures and fittings.
As well as the excellent level of accommodation the property occupies a stunning plot close to the centre of the village, positioned off a private driveway with its own substantial gravelled drive providing a considerable level of off road parking and integral garage. The gardens extend to approximately 0.4 of an acre, lying to the south and westerly side and combine to create a delightful outdoor space, well stocked with mature trees and shrubs with a pleasant aspect to the south across a central green area.
Overall this is a really interesting opportunity to purchase a truly unique home in a delightful setting with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
