The Property
This charming stone built detached property dates back to the fifteenth century and enjoys an abundance of character including wooden beams and original cast iron kitchen range. The property has been sympathetically modernised throughout by the present owners and offers comfortable flexible living space. The front door opens into a warm and welcoming entrance hall leading to all ground floor rooms. The sitting room is bright and spacious with vaulted ceiling and wooden beams. There is also an attractive fireplace with electric fire. There is a glass door leading out to the rear garden. Three windows to the front allows an abundance of light. Beyond is the principal bedroom with fitted storage and door leading directly into the garden and an en-suite bathroom. The formal dining room overlooks the front of the property and also has an open fireplace. This opens into a useful study. There is a wonderful dining kitchen boasting an original kitchen range circa 1860 with a wood burning stove. There are stylish wall and floor units, kitchen island, range cooker, two large pantry units, wine fridge, dishwasher and underfloor heating. French doors lead directly into the front garden. Beyond lies a useful utility room and cloakroom. Just off this there is a rear porch which opens into a bright and spacious garden room. On the first floor there are two well proportioned bedrooms, a single bedroom with fitted storage and a bathroom with bath, enclosed shower, wc and wash hand basin. The current owner has since purchasing the property extended it and provided a range of newly fitted storage.
