Welcome to this charming and versatile 5 BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOME where traditional charm meets contemporary rural lifestyle. As you step through the ENTRANCE PORCH a welcoming secondary RECEPTION/ DINING ROOM with inviting open fireplace connects to all ground floor facilities; a bright and spacious KITCHEN/ BREAKFAST ROOM with further LARDER & UTILITY/ BOILER room, a downstairs CLOAKROOM and an extensive and relaxing SITTING ROOM filled with natural light via triple aspect windows and patio doors leading directly to the mediterranean styled COURTYARD. The home enjoys a natural and seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living with simplistic functionality, and we are advised by the vendor that many original features such as the original flagstone kitchen flooring and decorative tiled entrance are still to discover giving much potential to improve and personalise this wonderful and spacious home.
Ascending upstairs, THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS on the first floor are complimented by a home spa-style FAMILY BATHROOM with Jacuzzi corner bath, heated towel rail and underfloor heating, enclosed walk-in shower and traditional W.C, bidet and handbasin suite. THE PRINCIPAL BEDROOM lies upstairs again to the second floor and is a serene retreat featuring large dormer windows and delightful views over the rear garden and across this picturesque and tranquil village location. The views are mirrored across the landing to BEDROOM TWO which holds potential if preferred to convert to a private en-suite or separate dressing/ living area.
Outside
The exterior of this property is as impressive as the interior. To the front, there is OFF ROAD PARKING for multiple vehicles, and some quirky conveniences including a (former) stone well and rainwater recycling systems with creative and exotic planting solutions including waterlilies, palms and bananas. This space is perfect for gardening enthusiasts or those who simply enjoy spending time outdoors.
The MAIN GARDEN is located to the rear and can be accessed via the kitchen, sitting room, or a side gate from the front. Immediately behind the property, a path and steps lead up to the main garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn. A pathway winds through the garden, providing access to a vegetable plot and poly tunnel, ideal for growing your own produce. A large PATIO area is perfect for outdoor dining, while a second patio outside the sitting room offers another ideal spot for entertaining. These spaces are perfect for hosting summer barbecues or enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. There are a variety of spaces within the rear garden that would be suitable for an extension, single or two storey (STPP).
A couple of steps lead up to an OUTBUILDING, which has been thoughtfully updated and is currently used as a bar/entertaining area. This garden room offers flexibility and could serve as an additional bedroom, subject to any relevant permissions that may well be needed. Whether you envision it as a guest suite, a home office, or a creative studio, the possibilities are endless.
