4 bedroom house

An attractive and substantial Victorian era home situated in a peaceful semi-rural location on a generous secluded plot of c.0.38acre, yet within easy reach of local amenities and transport networks. A large detached double garage also provides scope to create a home office or ancillary accommodation (s.t.p.p). No chain.

ACCOMMODATION:
The formal entrance to the property remains at the front elevation, accessed via the long front garden which creates an impressive kerbside appearance; whilst most will use the informal side entrance which opens into a large lobby. Here there is a wealth of space for coats and shoes, as well as direct access off to a shower room which offers a useful arrangement for dog owners or after long muddy walks. Ground floor accommodation leads off from the traditional central hallway including a large dual aspect dining room with flagstone floor, an equally generous living room with an open fireplace and attractive outlook toward the rear gardens and a light and airy kitchen with space for informal dining. There are a range of fitted wall and base units here, counter tops, a drainer sink and integral hob and ovens. A separate utility room provides essential laundry space and storage, away from the sociable kitchen area.

Stairs rise to the galleried landing which enjoys natural light flooding in through a large front facing window. From here there is access to four double bedrooms of excellent proportions, two found at the front with large sash windows and high ceilings traditional of the Victorian era; whilst the two at the rear look out across the rear garden and the master enjoys its own en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE:
Set within a sizeable plot in excess of a third of an acre, 'The Old Rectory' offers wonderful privacy afforded by mature gardens, backing on to countryside at the immediate rear. A substantial driveway provides an abundance of parking provisions and leads to the versatile detached double garage at the northwest corner of the grounds. Twin doors open for vehicular access whilst there is a pedestrian door at the side. Two further rooms (a large internal store and conservatory/greenhouse) provide useful space for gardeners to utilise, hobby space or to convert part or the entire footprint (subject to necessary consent) to an office or ancillary accommodation. Further storage space is provided by a large garden shed to the southwest corner of the plot. Family members of all ages will find something to enjoy in this wonderful garden, from lawns for recreation, to wildflower 'meadows' and a variety of established fruit trees. Obvious scope exists here to landscape further or simply enjoy the abundant plant and wildlife this natural garden provides.

SERVICES:
Mains electric, water and drainage are connected, and oil-fired central heating is installed.
