Property description
THE PROPERTY This wonderfully situated substantial non-estate detached family home was built some 37 years ago of reconstituted Cotswold stone elevations in a Georgian style, and enjoys a very pleasant position set well back from the lane in one of the towns best areas, and within a reasonable walking distance of the town centre.
The accommodation consists of reception hall with handsome staircase to landing and off which is a rear lobby with a door into the back garden, and a cloaks/shower room with a white suite. The drawing room has a feature fireplace and French doors into the rear garden and clever use is made of sliding patio doors into the study at the front of the house allowing both to be opened up fully for family parties etc. The good sized dining room has a bay window to the front and a built-in cherry wood dresser, whilst at the rear of the house the kitchen/breakfast room has a range of bespoke oak units consisting of base cupboards and drawers and matching wall cupboards together with integrated double oven and modern gas hob with adjacent deep fat fryer. A utility room leads off the kitchen and has a fairly modern gas fired central heating boiler.
At first floor level the galleried landing has easy loft access with the loft being boarded for potential use (subject to planning). The loft has Velux roof lights and power. The four double bedrooms lead off from the landing with the master bedroom having an en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom is at the front of the house and all four bedrooms have built-in or fitted wardrobes. There is a detached garage with twin up and over electrically operateddoors. The garage also has easy boarded loft access and has a round window in the gable end of the loft space, at the side of the garage is a very useful flower room/potting shed/studio.
The gardens are a major feature of the house with a plot size of 1/3rd of an acre with a summer house, a greenhouse and a shed in the rear garden. To the front the tarmacadam drive leads through a five-bar gate to a parking area with room for a number of cars together with a concrete hard standing for a caravan. At the rear, the garden enjoys the privacy of tall screening walls and is laid mainly to lawn with a good size vegetable garden in the far corner. There is a well in the front garden.
