The property opens to the front initially into a small entrance vestibule and then into the main entrance hallway with decorative encaustic tiled flooring which was typical of the period and remains a favoured feature to this day.
The principal sitting room is at the front with oak flooring (continuing throughout the ground floor), square bay with double glazed sash windows and deep alcoves to the chimney breast. High ceilings with picture rails, decorative cornice and ceiling roses continue from here into the second reception room which also features a log burning stove and side window brining in extra light.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the house in a Shaker style with country influences and includes a large range cooker with gas hob and built in extractor within an exposed brick surround, integrated washing machine and dishwasher, with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is a light and airy dining area which benefits from an abundance of natural light from side facing windows as well as French Doors to the rear garden and Velux skylight windows.
A beautifully crafted staircase from the entrance hallway lead to the first floor and three bedrooms. The first and second bedrooms are exceptionally sized double rooms, each with built in storage to the alcove and cast iron fireplaces with decorative ornate tiles. The third bedroom is a smaller single room or home office. The bedrooms are served by a superb family bathroom with underfloor heating, Victorian style roll top bath, walk in shower, toilet and twin wash basins. Stairs then continue into the adapted top floor with a large bedroom and en-suite shower room.
Externally, the property is set back from the road behind a dwarf brick wall and garden with lawn and planted trees/ shrubs and gravel driveway for off street parking. To the rear is a substantial garden measuring approximately 75ft with outbuilding which would also benefit from renovation.
In summary, a unique attractive period home in the heart of a popular village.
