Property Description: This fabulous family home has been extended and improved over the years creating versatile and spacious living spaces perfect for a family. The 'U' shaped open plan kitchen/family room is the hub of the house and is very much made up of areas with space for dining, relaxing, cooking and entertaining. The conservatory leads off the kitchen/dining room and out onto the paved terrace. There are also French doors out from the family/dining area creating living accommodation that links well to the outside space.
Every house that has open plan living needs somewhere separate from the sometimes busy family areas and this house delivers this with a good sized living room at the back of the house, again with access to the garden through French doors. There is also an office/snug room. Also to the ground floor is the cloakroom, utility room which has a boot room area with a door to the back garden. Because of the layout of the house there is the potential to create an annexe with bathroom and kitchen facilities, making this an idea property for multigenerational living.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is spacious and has an en-suite shower room as well as a connected through room, which is currently used as a study but could be used as a dressing room or nursery. There is one other bedroom which has an en-suite shower room and has a fabulous built in wardrobe. Most of the bedrooms are located at the back of the property and have lovely views over the garden to the countryside beyond. The family bathroom has a bath with over shower and there is a large airing cupboard on the landing for storage.
Outside: The house connects well to the back garden which has two paved terraces next to the house and then a raised lawn and decked terrace in the top corner. The garden is south facing and is well planted with shrubs and some mature trees for shade, plus there's a garden shed for storage. To the front of the property there is a large driveway with space to park several cars.
