ACCOMMODATION
Refer to the floor plan for sizes and shape of the property.
The size of the accommodation is deceptive. There is large hallway with good access to all rooms. The KITCHEN is long very bright and has access to the side garden and views of the paddocks. Recently re-modelled and refurbished along with the breakfasting area and sofa, this is an ideal place to relax and eat. The SITTING ROOM is cosy and has a fireplace currently with a wood burning stove fitted. The DINING ROOM / reception room is currently used as hobbies room but may suit a secondary SITTING ROOM rather than dining room. The end BEDROOM has an EN-SUITE (which was the garage but converted some time ago) may suit being the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM. There are a further 2 BEDROOMS as well as a STUDY which has a door out to the rear garden ( may also be used as a bedroom). The UTILITY room is off the kitchen and has a door to the rear garden (this is currently used as a dog room) but may suit being a further reception.
On the FIRST FLOOR there is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with a view to the rear of the property, a further BATHROOM and a secondary room which could be used as a BEDROOM or dressing room. The loft continues so could be incorporated into the existing bedroom space.
