Beautifully presented family home with a large garden on the edge of this picturesque village.
Description
A beautifully situated village house offering comfortable family accommodation with a large garden and double garage. Built in 1995, Halfpenny Cottage is of traditional brick construction under a tiled roof and provides well balanced, light-filled accommodation. The property is discreetly situated to the edge of this charming village, backing on to open countryside, and set within grounds of approximately 0.39 of an acre.
This wonderful home has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones throughout. The property is entered from the front via a welcoming entrance hall serving a living room, with inset fire place, and a second reception room currently used as a study. To the rear of the house is a stunning 'L' shaped kitchen opening to a vaulted family/sun room which in turn opens onto the garden. The kitchen has been fitted with a modern range of light-coloured storage units with integrated appliances. There is a utility room providing further access to the garden and a cloakroom which concludes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor there are four well-proportioned bedrooms with en suite facilities to bedroom one. There is a large family bathroom and a useful walk-in storage room.
Outside
The property is set back from the road over a long driveway offering a vast amount of parking. There is a detached timber-framed double-bay garage of pitched roof design currently converted as a home gym, yet offering further ancillary uses, subject to the necessary consents.
The garden extends from the rear of the house and has been beautifully designed providing seating areas and thoughtful planting with a collection of shrubs, flowers and fruit trees.
Overall, the gardens total around 0.39 of an acre.

Oil heating, mains water, mains drainage.
