This lovely home which was built around 1810 has been restored to a very high standard and comes with a separate building currently used as a workshop with an artist's studio on the upper level.
Entry is via double metal gates into a paved low maintenance front garden which has flower beds with mature shrubs, flowers and an orange tree. From here a double glazed door leads into the large kitchen/dining room. The owners have also retained the original wooden front door which adds a lovely feature. The kitchen has white fitted wall and base units, granite worktops, s/s sink, dishwasher, 5 burner gas stove & extractor hood, tiled floors and a wooden ceiling. A wood burner also provides some heat to the floor above.
To the left of the kitchen is an area comprising of a utility room, a cloakroom with a WC and sink, and an area with useful extra storage which includes a large marble shelved pantry.
Double wooden doors lead into the sunroom which has a wood burner, and patio doors to the back garden.
To the right of the kitchen is a spacious hallway currently used as an office. Off here is a double bedroom which has a tiled floor and wooden ceiling, one front facing window and a patio door to the front garden.
Stairs from the hall lead up to a spacious, bright lounge with a 12kw pellet burner and a central ceiling fan. The floors in here and the loft above are fully insulated. This room is flooded with light from the four windows and the patio door which leads to a pretty terrace with BBQ and wonderful views of the garden and surrounding area.
Double wooden doors lead into the beautiful, bright master bedroom which was originally two rooms and has two large windows and patio doors to a Juliet balcony. This room has an air conditioning unit.
At the end of the hallway is a large walk in storage cupboard and to the right of this is a huge dressing room with built in wardrobes and a bathroom which has a bath with shower attachment, WC, sink and heated towel rail.
A doorway from the bathroom gives access to the fully insulated loft which has electricity. A new roof was fitted 6 years ago.

This has all been lovingly maintained by the current owners who are keen gardeners.
