Description This pretty Victorian House is perfectly positioned, facing south to make the most of the natural light. A decorative portico with seats and original Victorian tiles frames the entrance of the house which faces open fields. Entering into the main hallway, a dining room with original cornicing and ceiling rose leads off to the right. On the left hand side a spacious living room with a Clearview log burner creates the perfect space for family occasions. Large windows boast views of fields and allow a flood of natural light into the room. An original feature window with wrought iron detail still remains, looking into the conservatory which is accessed through the back of the living rooms. Built in 1999, this conservatory provides a relaxing space to appreciate the immaculately manicured garden and fields afar and has electric heating and fans for maximum comfort. Leading to the other side of the house, there is a breakfast room which catches the morning light and is adjacent to the kitchen at the back of the house. The long kitchen with original Victorian exposed beams has an electric Belling Range Master with gas hobs, a plumbed in Fisher and Paykel fridge freezer and a laundry section situated behind the breakfast bar. There are many units providing storage space and a useful and well furnished ‘gardener’s loo’ can be found leading out of the kitchen door to the garden. The rear backdoor and hallway leads away from the kitchen into the ‘Wine Room’ with further units, a fridge and storage space. Through this room, the garage can be accessed which has another free standing fridge. Ascending the back staircase leads into a home office and bedroom which was originally a hay store. This conversion has created a perfect space for either a teenage den or a man cave. The bedroom has an en suite with a shower unit. A circular window and the original archway door add character to the well-designed space. Returning to the front hallway, the large window sheds light on the staircase leading up to the first floor.
