The Accommodation is arranged over 3 floors offering a flexibility to families or those working from home and many of the windows have that view! On the ground floor there are 2 wonderful reception rooms both having fireplaces, there is a modern kitchen with very useful lean to conservatory style utility/boot room leading out into the garden. On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, a study and the family bathroom and on the 2nd floor a large bedroom with en-suite shower room and large accessible attic storage space.
ACCOMMODATION
A gate gives access via steps up the path to the part glazed front door with side and fanlight windows opening into the entrance hall which is light and welcoming, understairs cupboard and cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. The sitting room is a lovely room with feature bay window making the most of that fantastic view, there is an original Art Deco fireplace with inset gas fire and bookcase to the side. The Dining Room has an open fire with original windows looking into the conservatory and is a good size room for entertaining. The kitchen has been refitted with modern cream wall and floor units and a pull-out pantry unit with tiled floor and integrated appliances including: dishwasher, oven, wine fridge, microwave, gas hob and extractor over and space for fridge freezer. There are extensive work surfaces with one and a half sink unit with Franke Omni filtered cold and boiling water tap, plus regular hot cold mixer tap and breakfast bar facing South, this is a lovely light and airy room.

Stairs rising to the 1st floor landing with window facing South allowing the light to flood in. There are 3 double bedrooms all with built-in storage and study
ursery. 2 of the front bedrooms enjoy the view which is even better from first floor level. There is a spacious family bathroom with a modern suite comprising bath with shower attachment, WC, vanity wash hand basin and separate tiled shower cubicle. Stairs rise again to the 2nd Floor with landing and access to a large walk in attic storage space with gas fired boiler.

At the top of the garden there are raised beds for growing vegetables and a small orchard of apple, plum and pear trees and a fantastic bay tree.
