Description
Middlemead was transformed by the current owner’s family from a bungalow into a two-storey dwelling in 2012 when it was completely refurbished and upgraded with new plumbing and wiring throughout. All of the fittings are of a high standard with oak flooring in all of the reception rooms and sealed unit casement windows.
Of particular note are the room proportions and the handmade units in the kitchen/dining/living room, providing a focal point to the house, together with the superb master bedroom suite on the first floor. This is currently arranged with a large dressing room but for those who require a fourth bedroom, there is a doorframe from this room which gives access onto the landing which could be reinstated.
The construction is of brick with weatherboarded upper elevations beneath a tiled roof.
The accommodation is arranged as follows:
• Oak-framed verandah to oak front door, impressive reception hall with built-in cloaks cupboard, staircase to the first floor. Cloakroom with hand basin inset into vanity unit, WC.

Outside
Middlemead is approached from Rectory Close and onto a gravelled parking area for two vehicles which gives access to the garage which is of brick construction beneath a pitch tiled roof, with light and power connected. There is a tool store to the rear with its own separate pedestrian access, which in turn leads to the garage.
There is a separate gated entrance to an additional area of off-road parking for a number of vehicles.
Lockable wrought iron gates open onto a gravelled pathway which leads onto the back utility room door and also a spur to the front door with area of lawn, well-stocked flower and shrub borders, and benefiting from privacy from a clipped evergreen hedge. To the front of the house is a broad oak-framed verandah with a very useful oak bench seat providing storage for shoes and boots.
Adjoining the rear of the house is a broad York stone terrace providing privacy and an outlook over the garden, which is principally laid to lawn with a number of mature trees and shrubs including rhododendrons, choisya, roses, and an ornamental pond.
At the rear of the garden is a timber garden shed, at the side of which is a pedestrian gate giving access onto a footpath which leads to the village and a plethora of country walks.
