Beautiful and exquisitely crafted single storey residence of notable quality, with delightful rural views, 0.30 acre plot and outbuildings comprising double garage, log store, stables, and log store
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
This is an utterly charming and delightful single storey home, without comparison in the locality due to its unusual combination of assets and the fantastic attention to detail and quality that is in clear evidence throughout.
I would suggest that this is an absolutely perfect option for families at a certain stage or suit professional couples who have a love for semi rural living. It will also be of significant appeal for those downsizing from rural houses with land, who are seeking single storey living but still want a home of good space with ample parking, rural views and a useful range of outbuildings.
From the initial approach over a gated driveway to the moment I stepped through the door, there is something about this property that instantly resonated with me. Cosy yet spacious, elegant yet contemporary, spacious but not too big - it really does have it all. I also love the features of character and quality that include bespoke radiator covers, wooden beams, a fireplace with woodburner and excellent fitted wardrobe to the principal bedroom.
Externally the outbuildings are ideal. The detached double garage has been extended so is above normal size (31'10 x 9'7 or in metres 9.7 x 5.96) and this in addition to a further building that incorporates a store, two stables and log store. These buildings, or parts of them, would, subject to planning permission being granted, make for excellent additional accommodation, home office or leisure suite.
The gardens and grounds incorporate lawns, seating areas and to the front a large driveway with ample space for parking and turning. The rural views are a delight.
Rural yet convenient, large but not overwhelming and a perfect base for those who want space, establishment, privacy and views, I think this property is superb and would advise an early viewing. It has been a much loved home for many years and is offered for sale with no ongoing chain.
