5 bedroom house

Built in 1998 in a traditional style to ensure it blended in with other neighbouring, older properties in the village, Breach House is a two-storey, detached house, with rendered and painted walls under a thatched roof. The spacious accommodation is laid out to take full advantage of the house's elevated position, with the reception rooms and kitchen positioned on the first floor, thereby providing an uninterrupted view of the beautiful surrounding countryside, whilst four of its five bedrooms are on the ground floor. It has great charm and character with good ceiling heights and is well presented and maintained. The front door opens to the entrance hall, which has timber flooring which extends throughout much of the property. The two largest bedrooms on the ground floor are positioned off either side of the entrance hall, one of which is the principal bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Set further back are two further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. Between the two back bedrooms is the family bath and shower room. On the first floor is the living room, which extends the full width of the house with sufficient space for separate seating and dining areas. It has lovely views out over the surrounding countryside as well as a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove and a door leading through to the study. The kitchen is positioned adjacent to the dining area and has a tiled floor and is fitted with a range of units and a Rangemaster electric range cooker. At the far end of the kitchen is the breakfast room, which has double glazed windows on three sides including French windows opening onto the terrace and a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine double bedroom with an ensuite WC and wash hand basin.

Breach House is set back from the access lane with a shared tarmac parking area in front of a
single garage positioned on one side of the cottage. There is a small area of garden at the front with a pedestrian gate and steps to the front door. A wrought iron gate and steps lead up from the parking area to a paved terrace at the back of the house, which is also accessible from the breakfast room. To one side is a timber deck with a clematis covered pergola for outside dining. The well screened garden, which has been professionally landscaped, ascends the hillside behind the house in a series of four terraces. Each has its own character with, in turn, a lawn with shrubs, a sun deck and lawn, a summer house, which has power and telephone connections making suitable for as a home office.
