This charming detached family home has been extended and modernised in recent years and nestles in 0.3633 of an acre plot with stunning countryside views. It is set well back from the road with a block paved driveway leading to the single garage, fitted with an EV charging point, and bordered by a large lawn with a path to the modern front door. This opens into a spacious L-shaped hall with a door to the dual aspect lounge that has a fireplace incorporating a carved wood surround and French doors to the rear terrace. There is an excellent snug that offers delightful views and this leads to an study/bedroom with an en suite shower room; ideal as a self-contained annex area if required. The dining room is accessed from the kitchen and breakfast area and has French doors to the garden and a large skylight. The kitchen includes a range cooker and white units with hard wearing worktops housing an integrated dishwasher and freezer while still leaving plenty of space plus an adjacent utility.

The first floor galleried landing includes fitted cupboards and leads to the contemporary family bathroom as well as four double bedrooms with rural views. One has built-in cupboards and another has views in both directions while the dual aspect main bedroom also includes a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and an en suite shower.

The large rear garden is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and backs onto paddocks. There is a wraparound terrace well as a potting shed, storage shed and a detached summer house/workshop that includes insulation, electrics and lighting.

What the Owner says:


We bought this house about seven years ago as a bit of a ‘project' and during our time here we have created two additional bedrooms including the new main bedroom and enhanced the exterior. We fell in love with the position and the views and have excellent neighbours. But we are starting a new chapter in our lives. The village includes a local shop, the historic Half Moon and Seven Stars pub and the wonderful Coppers garden centre with a restaurant, a village hall that offers a variety of activities while the primary school is rated Good by Ofsted with certain areas rated Outstanding. A bus service is available that includes taking children to secondary schools in surrounding towns while for horsey enthusiasts there is the Shotfield Equestrian Centre.
