Charming Period Home in an idyllic location!

Cira 1900's, this property will draw you in as soon as you drive down the quiet and private country lane and see the lovely cottage entrance and sweeping stoned driveway. With parking for many vehicles and or a caravan or motorhome, the driveway is gated and leads to a detached double garage.

Nestling on a generous plot in the perfect semi-rural location, in the highly desirable village of Broughton, yet with the convenience of being unbelievably close to local amenities. Within a short walk there is access to the village shops, restaurants and outstanding primary and secondary schools. Also close is the local bus route and the motorway access.

South facing gardens, means you will enjoy maximum sunshine and the secluded garden is of generous proportions with decking area and laid to lawn with sunken trampoline and swing and some raised borders with cottage style planting.

The interior is inviting and cosy, perfectly in keeping with the character, yet has a modern twist. Spacious hallway with turning stairs to the first floor accommodation, door to the living room and dining kitchen and access to the ground floor WC.

The principle living room overlooks the attractive hedge enclosed frontage with field views beyond. A sizeable room with cast iron open fireplace with tiled hearth and white wooden surround. Built in alcove cupboards, pictures rails and ceiling coving on the beautifully high ceilings.

Central to the home is the open plan dining kitchen family room. Ideal for families and social gatherings. Those who love cooking will love the counter top space and centre island with granite worktop and breakfast stools to one side. The shaker style units offer ample storage across all the walls. With Belling Range cooker with cooker hood, integrated dishwasher and inset ceramic sink. The dining end of the room has a stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove yet could indeed make a cosy snug for those chilly winter evenings. The kitchen has feature window open to the Orangery, the layout feels spacious and flows sociably throughout. A door gives access to the garden and driveway with stepping stones that lead around to the decking area.

The Orangery is a lovely living space where you can relax and enjoy the pretty garden views. Or indeed, this could make an ideal dining space. Double wooden doors open to the outdoor decking area.

There are 4 bedrooms at this lovely home, one of which is currently used as a dressing room to the Master Bedroom. Three bedrooms occupy the first floor and stairs lead to a 2nd floor extension with double bedroom. The master bedroom has en-suite shower room fitted with a double step in shower. The family bathroom has a lovely stained glass window in the door and is fitted with a white suite to include a bath with shower over, pedestal sink and low level WC.

Whilst beautiful already, the property does provide scope for further extension or changes subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

I would highly recommend a viewing to appreciate the wealth of space and idyllic and convenient setting of this character home.
