An exceptional opportunity to acquire a spacious, detached three-bedroom family home, boasting breath taking, uninterrupted views over rolling open countryside. This tastefully presented residence comes with the significant advantage of full planning permission to extend, offering the potential to create a substantial four or five-bedroom home, complete with a proposed loft conversion for a luxurious master suite.
Nestled in a tranquil setting, this property seamlessly blends classic charm with modern convenience. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and briefly comprises: an inviting entrance hall, where the character of the home is immediately apparent with its beautifully preserved original parquet flooring and a useful store cupboard provides practical storage space. To the heart of the home there is an expansive open-plan kitchen and diner, perfectly designed for both family life and entertaining. A stunning exposed brick fireplace creates a rustic yet sophisticated focal point, while the custom-designed kitchen features a curved breakfast bar and a central island with elegant granite worktops and a range style cooker. A newly fitted and impeccably finished downstairs shower room adds a touch of modern luxury and convenience. The spacious lounge is bathed in natural light from a feature bay window and the charming fireplace provides a cosy ambiance for relaxing evenings, while French doors open into a delightful conservatory. The generous conservatory offers a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces, providing the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the stunning, panoramic views over the meticulously maintained garden and the open fields beyond.
Ascending to the first floor, you will find three generously proportioned bedrooms. The master suite is a true retreat, featuring dual-aspect windows that perfectly frame the stunning countryside views. The accommodation on this level is completed by a luxuriously re-fitted family bathroom, showcasing a chic, freestanding bathtub as its centrepiece.
Efficiency and ambiance are assured with two economical pellet stoves, providing a cosy focal point in both the lounge and kitchen, perfectly complementing the modern Fischer boiler central heating system.
Externally, the property excels with a large private driveway offering parking for several vehicles, alongside a detached garage. Importantly, this garage also benefits from approved planning permission for conversion into a dedicated garden room or home office – ideal for modern lifestyles.
To the rear, the property reveals a stunning and secluded garden, meticulously landscaped to create a private oasis. An elevated, paved patio offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining while soaking in the glorious views. From here, steps lead down to a vast, sweeping lawn, perfect for family recreation, all set against the idyllic backdrop of rolling open countryside.
