Full Details:
The Living Space
The hallway gives you the first glimpse of the period features, where patterned tiled flooring in the vestibule gives a nod to the heritage, and the high ceilings with coving and ornate arched detailing adds a characterful charm.
The first of the two reception rooms is situated to the front of the house, where a large bay window pours in plentiful light and a traditional chimney breast houses a log burner. Through to the rear and the second reception room benefits from an open aspect to the kitchen, making it suitable for dining. Another chimney breast here holds the centre of the room, where the Aga adds further character, and a laminate floor adds practicality for everyday use, as does the storage closet beneath the stairs.
The kitchen is presented to contemporary standards with wooden units with stainless steel fittings and a dark grey worktop. Integrated appliances here include a Neff induction hob and extractor, an electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, instant hot water tap, plus a spot with allocated plumbing for the washer.
The Bedrooms & Bathroom
Upstairs the contemporary, well presented finish continues. Both bedrooms are good sized doubles and offer plenty of space for a couple or young family. The master is the largest of the two which sits to the front, benefitting from substantial fitted wardrobes, with a hidden walk-in storage closet too. The second bedroom is finished to a similar standard in good condition, and the family bathroom has recently undergone a full refurbishment, showcasing modern tiling to the floor and walls, complementing the modern four piece suite which comprises a freestanding feature bath tub and tap, walk-in shower, vanity basin, and WC.
The Outside Space
In addition to the well presented front yard, there’s an equally well presented and clearly cared for back yard too, providing sheltered storage for the solid fuels that power the Aga, and plenty of space for a table and chairs to enjoy BBQs and socialising in the summer sun. For added practicality, there is also an outbuilding with electric roller shutter ideal for workshop or storage etc.
