The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room which stretches the full width of the house and is lovely and light courtesy of its dual aspect.
The kitchen itself is sleek and contemporary, with fitted units providing a good amount of storage. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer along with a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer.
The dining area lies alongside the kitchen and features an attractive built-in seating area with French doors opening out onto the patio which acts as a super extension to the kitchen/dining room when the doors are folded right back.
The sitting room has a beautiful character fireplace with brick surround and the whole room features appealing original exposed beams.
A door leads through to the principal bedroom which is full of character with exposed beams and has the advantage of built-in cupboards and a modern, spacious en-suite shower room. A further shower room is situated off the hallway along with plenty of additional storage.

Stairs rise from the hallway to an attractive double bedroom while a second staircase leads from alongside the principal bedroom to a third double bedroom with its own bath, making it perfect for guests.
Outside to the front is a pretty garden, mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by hedging to give a good degree of privacy. To the rear is an attractive shingled seating area directly behind the house, ideal for entertaining.
A good-sized lawn bisected by a path bordered by pretty flowers leads to a further seating area to the rear and the whole garden overlooks the cricket pitch and open countryside beyond. There is off-road parking alongside the detached garage.
