The Limes in Doddington is a remarkable early Victorian family home with charm and character, as well as style and comfort.
This immaculate property blends stunning features and modern convenience and offers over 1,700 square feet of accommodation; including a generous and private rear garden, which has been beautifully landscaped.
The property has been thoughtfully and carefully renovated by my clients and it is with a heavy heart that they are looking to move having thoroughly enjoyed living here with their children for over 20 years. They have enjoyed what Doddington can offer a growing family; such as a strong community and a range of clubs and groups, suitable for all age ranges. Upon entering The Limes, the quality and character of the house greets you with the tiled flooring of the RECEPTION HALL and the stripped balustrade staircase and matching architrave and doors.
The dual aspect of the SITTING ROOM provides natural light via the large sash window to the front and two further windows to the side. There is an attractive feature inset log burner with a raised tiled hearth and wood surround that matches the stripped wooden floorboards.
Along the hall is a door to the FAMILY ROOM, a beautifully presented and calm room with a stripped wooden floor reflecting the light from the two windows on each side of the room. At one end, between the two windows, there is a feature Victorian fire surround, with inset Log Burner.
At the rear of the house is the solid wood, open plan, fitted BREAKFAST KITCHEN. Walking in on the attractive “distressed” tiled flooringLeads you past a dining/breakfast area to the arresting sight of the kitchen and its vaulted ceiling. The extra height not only makes it feel spacious and open but it also floods the room with natural light and offers a picture view of the garden. Fitted with a range of base and eye level units, and a large central workstation (with extra seating) this kitchen is ideal for an ambitious chef as well as a social hub for everyday family life. There are double patio doors onto the garden and a further door to the side driveway, which is convenient and practical for visiting family and friends.
There is a special bonus here too as just off the kitchen is a useful STUDY, which is tucked away from the rest of the house, giving you that extra peace and quiet if working from home.
Also leading into the kitchen is a lobby area with a spacious UTILITY ROOM, with a large WALK-IN PANTRY. There is also a CLOAKROOM and the rather unique extra feature of an old servants staircase! This provides secondary access to the first floor accommodation.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has stripped wood flooring and benefits from two sash windows.. The artfully decorated ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM is fitted with a three piece Victorian style suite; including a High Flush WC, wash hand basin and shower.
The upstairs layout could allow for different configurations as on the same front landing as the principal bedroom, accessed from the main staircase are BEDROOM 2 and BEDROOM 3.
BEDROOM 2 has stripped wooden flooring, a sash window to the side, and loft access. There is also a second door to the middle landing.
BEDROOM 3 has stripped wooden flooring, a sash window overlooking the rear and also has a second door to the middle landing.
The FAMILY BATHROOM has a light, fresh, nautical decor, with tasteful accessories and a large window to the side. There are doors from the bathroom to both the middle and rea landing.
The rear landing is accessed by the secondary staircase off the kitchen and gives access to the family bathroom and the fourth bedroom.
BEDROOM 4 has a wood panelled apex ceiling, stripped wooden floors, and a window to the side. OUTSIDE Matching the stylish and well maintained interior, is the impeccable REAR GARDEN. Enjoying a southerly aspect, the garden includes an extensive paved patio area, as well as raised flower beds providing plenty of opportunities for a keen gardener but simple enough for someone who wants more time to simply enjoy the surroundings. There are a wealth of mature trees and hedging that help with privacy, providing that place of escape. Another palace of escape is the large SUMMER HOUSE which is as well maintained and cared for as the rest of the property and could continue to be a HOBBIES ROOM as is its current use, or easily adapted as a home OFFICE or games room.
There is an additional area outside the double doors to the kitchen that is sheltered by the double gates that could be used as an additional off road parking if required, with double gates to the driveway at the front. QUOTE GH0600 KEY INFORMATION : The Limes, Doddington

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR: Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance. Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange a normal viewing at a later date or after office hours. HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL: If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you.
