A light and spacious 6 bedroom, 3 bath/shower room detached home, having been finished and maintained to an exacting standard and occupying a generous plot in this highly sought after village, a short walk from the local shop/post office, village pub and numerous countryside walks. This immaculate property has been significantly extended and improved by the current owners to provide a spacious executive home, affording approximately 2,500 sq ft of accommodation. Benefitting from, in brief, on the ground floor, an entrance porch, providing access to the spacious entrance hall, a semi-open plan living room, drawing room and dining room which communicate very well to create several separate but connected reception areas. The living areas contain a set of double sliding doors and a set of bi-fold doors, both opening onto the outside seating terrace. The kitchen breakfast room is a beautiful space with a range of matching units to eye and base level, integrated appliances, sliding double doors to the outside and a utility area with a useful downstairs cloakroom. The integral garage can be accessed from the entrance hall and boasts power and light. From the entrance hallway a staircase rises to the first floor, offering a dual aspect master bedroom with a beautifully fitted en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, a guest room with an en-suite shower room, two further generous double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a single bedroom/study and a modern family bathroom. From the first floor landing, a staircase rises to the second floor, benefitting from a double bedroom/large study with substantial eaves storage. Outside the rear garden is a particular feature, having been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners to create several ‘rooms’ within the large plot. A seating terrace immediately adjoins the rear of the property with a pergola covered by a mature grape vine, providing an atmospheric dining area. A path leads to an area of level lawn and to the large garden room/outside office. The rear of the garden offers an elevated decked seating terrace where you can watch the sun set in the evening. A cottage brick path meanders back to the house through the raised beds and other seating areas back towards the rear of the property, all of which have been planted to minimise the required maintenance. The property is approached via an impressive carriage driveway with parking for several vehicles with a mature front garden.
