Property description
THE PROPERTY Number 9a Old Hill is a very pleasantly situated, non-estate detached family house built some 40 years ago of reconstituted Cotswold stone elevations in a quiet, mature garden of approximately 0.5 acre.
The extended accommodation includes an annexe making it a particularly versatile home which in total comprises entrance porch into entrance hall with cloakroom and staircase to landing. There is a through lounge, a good sized dining room with French doors into a Pavilion style conservatory having south facing views over the rear garden. The delightful range of cream Shaker style units in the excellent kitchen/dining room provides excellent storage and working surfaces and the adjacent annexe is made up of entrance hall/utility room, shower room and attractive bed/sitting room with French doors and views over the rear garden. This would make an excellent work from home office or 5th bedroom, or equally suit an elderly relative.
At first floor level, the galleried landing has the four double bedrooms leading off it, the master of which has an en-suite shower room, and also off the landing is the recently refitted stylish wet room.
In front of the house is an attached garage. Oil fired radiator central heating has been installed together with UPVc double glazing and LPG cylinders provide gas for cooking. The property stands well back from Old Hill with extensive gardens laid to lawn with mature specimen trees to the front and rear and, at the foot of the rear garden in the south western corner is an entrance to a superb productive vegetable garden.
