The property has been a much loved family home for the current owners for almost 30 years, where their children have grown up and enjoyed everything this house has to offer.
The property consists of entrance hallway with original flagstone flooring and a downstairs cloakroom with plenty of space for coats, shoes and wellies, and a useful utility room with plumbing for white goods.
From the hallway is the kitchen/family room which is the real heart of the home, being the perfect place to socialise with friends or simply for the family to gather at the end of a busy day. The well appointed dual aspect kitchen which is open plan to the family room, boasts ample eye and waist level storage, integrated dishwasher, 4 oven electric Aga, double Belfast sinks with Quooker tap, middle island with separate hob, built in microwave and additional storage. Open plan is the breakfast and family room both with underfloor heating and a wood burner for those cosy winter nights in. French doors lead into the west facing part of the garden.
In addition to the family room there is a formal dual aspect dining room with an open plan guest seating area with an open fireplace. At the far end of the property is a further triple aspect reception room which also benefits from French doors leading to the garden; ideal as a spacious office or playroom.
Upstairs
There are five good size bedrooms, three with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom. Four of the bedrooms can be accessed via the main staircase, while the fifth bedroom, also en-suite, has its own staircase from the main hall making it an ideal guest suite or teenager`s bedroom.
The characterful master bedroom boasts a spacious dressing room with ample built in storage, and a modern en-suite with double basins, walk in shower, underfloor heating and air body dryer.
