The property has local blue lias elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been subject to extensive improvements throughout to create a most impressive contemporary family home. Entering through the new front door you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall which has space to hang coats and take off mucky boots plus storage underneath the stairs. Slate effect floor tiles continue from the hall into the kitchen and dining room.

The kitchen has been replaced with stylish high gloss, soft close drawers and units set underneath elegant marble effect worktops.

The sitting room is another substantial living area, nearly 24’ long. In the centre of the room is a new wood burning stove, perfect for cosying up in front of during the colder months. The most impressive part of the property is the newly constructed living and dining room which has under floor heating beneath ‘herringbone’ style Karndean flooring and two sets of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which totally transforms the accommodation.

There is a double garage with electric rolling doors for easy access and added security. Within the garage there is the boiler and plenty of useful storage units and a sink which were formerly part of the utility room.

At the far end of the garden, the owners have constructed a fabulous barn style outdoor living area which offers full shelter, with canvas openings that can be opened or closed depending on the weather allowing year round enjoyment.
