The Property
The Gables was built in the 1980's of block and brick masonry construction under and interlocking tiled roof. The property was built in cottage style to reflect the neighbouring properties within the village.
On entering, the reception hall welcomes you into The Gables and immediately leads into the dining room. Beyond the dining room is the sitting room, which is a lovely light room, being triple aspect with wide patio doors which face west. The room has a cast iron wood burning stove with a brick surround, perfect for winter days! A sliding doorway then leads out into the UPVC conservatory which has views to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is L-shaped with ample room for a breakfast table and chairs. The kitchen is fitted with wooden wall and base units to three walls and has a built in ceramic sink, freezer and fridge, with further space for a cooker and hob. Adjacent is a utility room and cloakroom with access into the rear garden. The stairs rise from the hallway up to the landing, which is double height providing a grand sense of space. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is of great size with views over the rear gardens. In addition, the room is complete with double wardrobes and a recently refitted en-suite shower room.

In addition, the front garden has a lovely lawn area with a couple of mature trees providing privacy and seclusion. The driveway continues down the side of the house, through two large timber gates and to the rear former double garage providing further parking space. In recent years the rear gardens have been completely transformed from a small wooded area into the charming lawned gardens you see before you today. The garden has a number of mature trees and shrubs, providing some natural shade for this incredibly light garden. Beside the house is a large patio area which continues around the conservatory, to the rear. The former double garage has been upgraded into a bar/games room with water, power, light and Sky connected. The room makes a great entertaining space or could potentially be used as a home
