DESCRIPTION
Formerly the Station Master’s house, this characterful detached property dates back to 1899 and was extended in the early 1980’s and again in 2006. In the same family ownership since 1999 the sale of the property presents a rarely available opportunity to secure a fine family home in this desirable village. The property is very well maintained and has been modernised to cater for today’s living requirements yet retains a wealth of period features including high ceilings, jet master fireplace and stained glass windows in the front door. The ground floor features a light and bright kitchen/breakfast room which has a delightful southerly aspect. It is well fitted with an extensive range of units, with granite work surfaces, Aga, integrated appliances and underfloor heating. The large utility/boot room is adjacent and leads to the garage. The rear hall links the kitchen to the dining room, study/playroom and the superb drawing room with its dual aspect, fireplace and French doors out to the garden. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, one of which is ensuite and a further bathroom and shower room all fitted to a high standard. Loft access is from the landing. The property has also great scope for further extension as the 2006 planning consent was not fully implemented.

OUTSIDE
Approached from the lane through a gated entrance there is a gravel driveway with ample parking and turning areas and a garage. Attractively planted there are pleasant lawned gardens to the south and west of the property. The total plot is approximately 0.34 acres and it offers a good degree of privacy. Within the garden there is a terrace, kitchen garden with raised beds and outbuildings including a large timber shed. The spinney to the north of the house is available to purchase by separate negotiation. Plan available on request.
