Living Space
At the front of the house the porch opens into the snug/sitting room which has a real cosy feel. There is a multifuel burner set within a chimney breast with exposed brick surrounds, stone hearth and wooden mantle that gives a rustic touch.
From the lounge the open aspect country kitchen and breakfast room is situated to the rear, with a large window framing incredible far reaching views – you can see the sea on a clear day! The large island makes it a superb social space while adding to its practicality for everyday life. The kitchen is high quality with solid oak veneer cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances including a multi-plate hob with extractor, double oven/grill, dishwasher, washer, dryer, and a traditional sink with drainer and mixer tap where you can wash the dishes while enjoying the view! It’s a large, bright and airy room with plenty of storage space and ample space for everyday dining and breakfast too.
The spacious, bright and airy vibe continues in the huge open plan living room which is situated to the right hand side of the home and spans from front to back, affording a fantastic size with the lounge at the front and versatile reception space to the rear which the current owners currently have for dining. In the lounge aspect at the front an exposed stone chimney breast continues the rustic country feel, while housing another multifuel burner. And the versatile dining area to the rear benefits from large glass sliding doors which pour in plenty of natural light, giving more of the impressive views and opening onto the terrace to create that sought after indoor-outdoor lifestyle on warm summer days.
From the kitchen is also access to a cellar which provides more storage space.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Upstairs a spacious landing connects the three double bedrooms and large family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a three-piece shower en-suite, and the two other bedrooms are equally large and presented in great condition with more views of the beautiful countryside scenery. The family bathroom features a three-piece suite comprising bath, walk-in shower, and wash basin, with a separate WC accessed via the landing.
Outside Space & Land
As well as the six acres, to the front the house is situated behind a traditional cottage garden, and the lane to the left leads to the rear of the house where the plot opens to fantastic views and the rest that the plot has to offer – private parking, double garage, shed/workshop, a huge lawn and a patio which will be s delight on summer days. There is great potential for landscaping too!
