Description Of Property - Built in circa 1994 by the current owners, this beautiful detached family home is found in a quiet semi rural location.
Entered via a private gated driveway, a full turn drive way leads you round to the front of the welcoming home.
The front entry into the reception hall is most impressive with Herringbone Style 'Amtico' flooring, brick arched doors and an oak stair case leading to the first floor. The first room to the left is a large dining room, an elegant space for formal dining arrangements, with a feature fireplace and dual aspect over the grounds.
The study with view to the gated entry provides a quiet space for those work from home days.
The kitchen/breakfast room is farmhouse in style and has ample room for a dining table, the range of walls and base units surround the room and are complemented by display cabinets and plenty of preparation space. Appliances include dishwasher and range oven, with gas hob and extractor. Through the kitchen the utility room provides access to the outside and has a useful WC, a spiral staircase leads up to a first floor TV/Movie room which is a great space for families and could double up as an extra bedroom.
The garage/games room is also found through the utility and has two up and over doors to the front.
The beautiful drawing room is a cosy space thanks to the wood burning stove, a fantastic room for entertaining family and friends, whilst the snug next door provides a more informal environment for relaxing. Both rooms have the benefit of French doors leading out to the gardens.
