A superb detached, family home with a plot of approximately 0.37 acres, the original cottage was built in the 1830s and then modernised in the 1980s providing the current layout. Located within walking distance of the railway station.
The property occupies a fantastic plot and offers potential to extend and modernise subject to the necessary consents. An extensive block paved driveway provides off street parking for several vehicles and access to the garaging with gated access to the mature rear garden beyond.
There are two points of entry to the property, both to the side elevation. The main entrance towards the front of the property opens to a small entrance lobby leading to the open plan breakfast room which in turn leads into the living/dining space. This has two, large bow windows to the front aspect and another to the rear flooding the room with natural light. There is an exposed brick chimney breast with an inset stove and stairs rising to the first floor. The breakfast room again, is bright and airy with sliding patio doors to the side elevation.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base level units with ample work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. From here an inner hall opens to a shower room with a three-piece suite, utility room and a rear lobby housing two good sized storage cupboards with internal access to the garaging.
The first floor landing has a fitted double cupboard and leads to four good sized double bedrooms, where bedrooms two and three have fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is fitted with a five-piece suite.
Outside, the garaging with power and light connected ,is large and offers the internal space of a triple garage, which could easily be converted into more living/work space if required. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, enclosed by timber fencing, ideal for family life.
To the righthand side of the property is a grass track which the property has legal access over and could potentially offer a secondary access into the rear garden. The track serves three properties and is an old agricultural access.
