Through the keyhole:
With a spacious front garden, paved driveway and the house itself boasting Gorsley stone and oak framing, this property is gorgeous from the outside in.
Inside, the large entrance hall has a beautiful slate floor and leads directly to a cosy, carpeted lounge with a wood-burning stove; the staircase to the first floor; and out into the large country kitchen. The current owners also use the versatile space as a dining room.
The kitchen itself feels both traditional and modern, with a beautiful ceramic Belfast sink; central island with granite worktop; shaker-style units providing plenty of storage space; and exposed stonework giving the room a distinctive character feature.
The kitchen leads directly onto a boot room; a downstairs wet room with shower and WC; and to the back garden, as well as connecting to a bright, airy, orangery-style room with timber-framed French doors to the garden, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove – ideal for a formal dining room or additional lounge space.
Outside, the rear garden is mostly lawn with bordering shrubs, with a spectacular Twisted Willow and two fruit trees, too. A paved and gravelled patio provides an ideal space for alfresco dining and relaxing, while a generous outbuilding – which is currently divided into a home office and workshop – offers an ideal working-from-home space.
Up on the first floor are four bedrooms – with the master bedroom having its own ensuite shower and walk-in wardrobe – as well as a family bathroom with freestanding tub.
To the front of the property, the double garage and paved driveway provide ample parking for several vehicles, while the front garden has a wooden summerhouse with double doors out onto the lawn for extra entertaining space during the warmer months.
Price: £640,000
