Description
**NO ONWARD CHAIN** A splendid period residence, exuding charm and character from top to bottom, beautifully presented with ample living accommodation and a private enclosed garden.
Description - Set in the heart of this enviable village with some of the most prominent private homes in the area, this attractive character property enjoys a convenient position on the High Street within easy reach of local amenities, yet with the span and length of the house flowing away, giving a more secluded and private plot. The living accommodation is stunning having been meticulously maintained and updated in recent years to create a warm and impressive dwelling that is beautifully proportioned to provide spacious living that is not so expansive that it's difficult to manage and maintain.
Accommodation includes a good sized newly-fitted breakfast kitchen, a dining room with an attractive bay window and an open fire, a hugely impressive living room with a gas-fired stove and attractive parquet floor, an additional garden room with the same flooring and views out to the side and rear gardens, an additional ground floor room which can either be used as a ground floor bedroom or possibly a home office, three additional double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite.
Outside - The property is approached onto a private driveway with private parking and direct vehicular access into the garage. The principal residence can either be accessed via a door on the gable end on the High Street, or a more impressive approach via the side gate onto a paved terrace leading up to a covered porch.
The garden is predominately laid to lawn with trees, shrubs perennials and flower beds. There is a outbuilding for additional garden storage and the paved area provides a superb space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
