Description
A delightful detached period home of considerable personality providing a deceptive level of beautifully arranged accommodation boasting private South facing gardens. Understood to have origins dating back to the 18th century when part of the present property formed a pair of farm cottages, this superb home has been meticulously restored and extended in more recent years by well-regarded builders "John Cutmore Builds" and now results in a splendid home providing particularly flexible accommodation including a stunning single storey extension to the rear, offering a wonderful space built to a traditional style with attractive flint panelling and red brickwork. The property retains a wealth of original features and is a fine example of the correct manner in which to combine the character of a period home with more modern additions and facilities, including under floor heating and double glazing which complements the well presented accommodation. The property currently in brief comprises; reception hall with fireplace recess and brick floor, snug with exposed beams and fireplace, superb vaulted and glazed sitting room with doors to gardens, Aga kitchen open to dining room, office, master bedroom with En-suite shower and dressing room, two further bedrooms, large family bathroom with large spa bath and separate roll top bath and shower room completing the accommodation.
