A wonderful opportunity to purchase a handsome semi-detached period house set back from the lane within the sought after village of Fifehead Magdalen.
This imposing property has a number of attributes worthy of mention including an attractive front facade with stone mullion windows, delightful gardens, well proportioned rooms with good ceiling height and an impressive garden room tastefully added by the previous owner which blends in perfectly with the original character of the property.
The front door opens to the porch which leads through to a central reception hall providing a convenient flow between the rooms. To your left, there is a light and airy sitting room featuring a stone fireplace with wood burning stove as its centrepiece. The kitchen/diner is of a generous size with a rustic country theme running through the room with exposed brickwork, oil fired AGA and plenty of space for a large table ideal for family meals and entertaining. There is access form the kitchen and hallway to the garden room which was created to provide additional living space, and enjoys an outlook over the delightful garden. To complete the ground floor accommodation there is the convenience of a cloakroom.
Moving upstairs, there is a family bath/shower room and three bedrooms, two of which are large doubles. The second bedroom has a hatch with folding ladder leading to a fully boarded loft with velux window. Although there is restricted head height this could provide additional living space (subject to planning and building regulations).
Venturing outside, the property is approached off the lane up a gravelled drive providing off road parking. Steps lead from the drive to the front door with paved path leading to the rear. The driveway is flanked by tall beech hedging on one side and raised flower beds on the other. There is an area of grass with trees providing a screen from the lane. The majority of the garden lies to the rear; there is an expanse of lawn with a useful outbuilding with light, water and power and currently configured into two rooms each with a separate access. Leading from this area and through a tall beech hedge, there is a further area of garden with a variety of flowering shrubs including clematis, roses, berberis and soft fruit trees.
