Set in the heart of the popular village of Broadhempston and within walking distance of all amenities is this lovely 4 bedroom detached family home.
Whilst the main front door is directly off the lane, the entrance most generally used is from the courtyard at the rear of the house where a small porch leads to an inner hall. Off this is a utility room with Belfast sink, fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and space for coats, together with a downstairs WC.
Going on into the house is a lovely dining room with wood floors and then steps up to the lovely bright dual aspect kitchen. The kitchen is simply yet perfectly designed with fully fitted tulip wood units, a Sandyford cooker/boiler, built in dish washer, an electric oven and induction hob, tiled floors and a useful larder. Steps up lead to to the Sun Room/ Breakfast Room with French windows leading out to the gravelled courtyard. Solid oak doors are a lovely feature throughout and in addition from the dining area steps lead down to the main front door and hallway which has glorious wooden parquet flooring. From here a door leads into the Snug which has an inset wood burner and windows looking out to a rear seating area. The main Sitting Room is on along the hallway is dual aspect and has a large woodburner, perfect for those cosy evenings.
Stairs lead to the first floor and there is also a study/home office with large storage cupboard. The first floor comprises two lovely light double bedrooms which share use of the family bathroom, and a third double with ensuite. They all have built in wardrobes and cupboards. At the far end of the landing with steps up to it is the master bedroom with high ceilings and a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard and garden. It has a walk in wardrobe and lovely en suite shower room and is altogether a lovely relaxing room.
Outside
Within the large gravelled courtyard is a building housing a workshop with adjoining store, a large two storey store area with stable doors to the far side and which with planning could easily convert to provide extra accommodation There is also a large garage. To the side of the garage one enters the truly magical gardens which are a huge feature of this glorious home and even benefit from uplighters in several of the beds to provide gentle evening lighting.
The garden is an absolutely magical oasis with lawns, paths leading round to a pond, a stunning hand built wooden gazebo with lighting and which is perfect on those hot balmy days and also for alfresco dining on those not so perfect evenings. To the rear of the garden are espaliered fruit trees which form a natural division and after which is the perfectly manicured kitchen garden with raised beds, a large cage for soft fruits and a poly tunnel – both of which have automatic watering systems. There is a water tap and also a useful shed which houses the garden implements.
