Property description
SET BACK and WELL SCREENED FROM THE ROAD in this sought after location - OPPOSITE THE VILLAGE CRICKET GROUND and ADJOINING OPEN COUNTRYSIDE to the rear, affording BREATHTAKING, PANORAMIC RURAL VIEWS, an outstanding and rare opportunity to purchase this IMPOSING, INDIVIDUAL, DOUBLE FRONTED DETACHED RESIDENCE and the IMPRESSIVE SIZE of which is impossible to assess and appreciate without an internal inspection! The property, which, has BEEN EXTENDED and CLEVERLY DESIGNED to take advantage of the MAGNIFICENT RURAL OUTLOOK, benefits from VERY TASTEFUL ALTERATIONS and IMPROVEMENTS, carried out by our clients, to create a UNIQUE FAMILY HOME with SUPERB, CONTEMPORARY, OPEN PLAN RECEPTION SPACE which is ideal for relaxed living and also for entertaining, particularly for parties and larger family gatherings. There is EXCELLENT VERSATILITY in the way in which several of the rooms can be used, and consequently are adaptable to individual requirements, and the BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED and VERY WELL LIT ACCOMMODATION which is tastefully decorated and appointed to a high standard, includes FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS (if required) and two of which have AN EN-SUITE FACILITY. One of the bedrooms is a BED-SITTING ROOM (with the advantage of an en-suite bathroom) at ground floor level and offers excellent potential for a dependant relative or for guests or perhaps for a teenager within the family to have their own private space within the family home. The raised, almost full width terrace, has immediate access from three rooms of the property and OVERLOOKS THE DELIGHTFUL REAR GARDEN OF GOOD SIZE with the ADVANTAGE OF A "PADDOCK" STYLE AREA beyond, ideal for bat 'n' ball games and family recreational activities, and is ENHANCED BY THE ADJOINING COUNTRYSIDE.
