Upstairs, a spacious landing with loft hatch leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying excellent natural light. The principal bedroom offers generous space for a double bed and benefits from large double glazed sash style window. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, enjoying picturesque views across the garden and open fields, while the third bedroom is another double with views. The shower room is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring a shower unit with wall mounted shower fittings and stylish tiling. The property also offers exciting potential to extend into the loft as well as to the side (STPP).
Outside
The outside space is truly impressive. To the front, a private driveway provides parking for several vehicles, complemented by a car port and screened by mature hedging that offers excellent privacy from the road.
The rear garden is another standout feature, extending to over 200 ft and thoughtfully arranged to maximise enjoyment of the outdoors. A large patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while two generous lawns lead directly to open fields, offering wonderful uninterrupted views. At the far end, a fenced-off area currently serves as a 'kitchen garden' with raised beds-ideal for those wishing to embrace the "good life" and grow their own fruit and vegetables.
Another unique feature is the former pig sty, now used for storage. This charming structure offers significant potential (STPP) and, with the right vision, could be transformed into additional accommodation or a useful garden room.
Outbuilding - Recently updated, the main outbuilding provides excellent storage and is equipped with power and lighting, offering great potential for conversion into a home office, studio, or workshop if desired.
This property falls under Council Tax Band E. The property is connected to mains water, drainage, gas and electricity. The property has a broadband connection.
