The property is about fifteen years old and has been a very much cherished and enjoyed home of our sellers for the last thirteen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and has benefitted from some general updating and improvements, which included adding an attractive Bath stone fireplace with wood burner creating a cosy ambiance and adding a touch of warmth and character to the sitting room. The separate dining room allows plenty of space for entertaining friends and family and with sliding doors into the kitchen/breakfast room there is scope to expand for those special occasions. This lovely home benefits from an easy to use layout with all rooms enjoying excellent natural light and has sustainable wood framed double glazing and LPG central heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor.
Outside, the attractive, easy to manage garden provides a tranquil retreat where you can enjoy the outdoors either relaxing or pottering about and there is plenty of parking for yourselves and any guests.
Viewing is essential to truly appreciate what this wonderful home has to offer as well as the splendid views and the location within the village.
