A delightful family home nestled in the heart of this popular Piddle Valley village, set well back from the road enjoying the village scape and open countryside views to the rear.
Stepping through the front door into the welcoming RECEPTION HALL, it is immediately apparent that this versatile residence is both well presented airy and light. From this central point a straight staircase rises to the first floor while doors radiate out to all ground floor rooms. The combined SITTING and DINING ROOM is bathed in natural light from both ends, with a bay window overlooking the front garden and sliding patio doors opening to the rear garden. The dining room comfortably accommodates a dining table for entertaining and family gatherings. An ever-useful cupboard provides storage opportunities. The sitting room centres around a cosy fireplace with wood- burning stove, perfect for cooler evenings.
The KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM has an array of wall mounted and floor-based cupboards and ample work surfaces. The sink is ideally positioned under the window with views of the garden and an adjacent door provides access to outside. There is room for a small table and chairs for breakfasting, space and plumbing for both a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge. Integrated appliances include a Zannussi Induction hob and oven. On a practical note, located here is the Grant boiler for central heating and hot water. Discreetly positioned under the stairs is a CLOAKROOM with wash hand basin and Saniflo style WC.
Concluding the ground floor bedroom is BEDROOM FIVE / STUDY, a bonus room providing versatility and adding to the generous accommodation. Lying to the front of the residence this double bedroom also benefits from an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM.
The FIRST FLOOR GALLERIED LANDING is considered both generous and light courtesy of the window overlooking the front garden and varied village scape. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has a range of wardrobes and enjoys delightful views of the garden and the countryside beyond. BEDROOMS TWO and BEDROOM THREE both sit to the front of the house and are both double bedrooms. BEDROOM FOUR is a comfortable single bedroom, once again having far - reaching rural views. The FAMILY BATHROOM is generously proportioned, and has a large shower cubicle with screen, vanity unit with wash hand basin, WC and a double ended bathtub with central mixer tap and hand shower attachment.
