About this property

Stylish and Elegant Period Property

Spacious, light and beautifully presented 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom family home situated in an enviable village location. This period property has been a much-loved and well cared for home and most recently run as a successful business. It is in excellent decorative order and boasts fabulously high ceilings, original stripped wood floors, woodburning stoves, oil-fired central heating throughout and crucially, is on mains drainage and has excellent Wifi.

The property is well planned with flexible accommodation and could work well as one large family home or with small adjustments, divide neatly into 2 properties giving annexe/gite accommodation.

The front door leads into a small hallway with stairs to the first floor.
From the hallway is the elegant, formal dining room with views to the front, there is a marble fire surround with woodburning stove and original wooden flooring.

2 steps lead down into the large farmhouse style kitchen which has double windows with views of the garden. There is a fireplace with woodburning stove, tiled floor, built in storage cupboards and plumbing for a dishwasher. A door leads into the rear hallway which has a second staircase leading to the first floor, a door to the garden and a door into the comfortable sitting room which benefits from a woodburning stove, wooden flooring and French doors to a small raised deck and the gardens.

Also on the ground floor is a very useful utility room comprising a shower and w/c and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer.

On the first floor are 4 bedrooms.
3 generously sized doubles; 2 of which have en-suite shower rooms with handbasin and W/C, 1 bedroom with a private bathroom with shower over, W/C and a wash handbasin and there is also an office/dressing room area.

Below this bedroom is another room which, with a small amount of effort would provide a sitting room and kitchen, the staircase is already in situ.
This two storey area could then be used as a separate gite/ annexe as it has its own private entrance via the garden.
