THE PROPERTY Little Craddocks is a fine example of how a classical 1970's bungalow can be adapted and upgraded to create a home which offers so much more than meets the eye. Under the current ownership the property has undergone a programme of improvements which has seen the conversion of the roof space into a spacious first floor as well as refurbishment throughout and remedial works including attention to the electrical and central heating systems, and installation of modern conveniences such as an integrated music system and underfloor heating in the kitchen, sitting room and entrance hallway in order to make the comfortable yet tastefully stylish accommodation seen today which hints at a contemporary lifestyle to be achieved in a semi-rural location. A beautifully refurbished 5 bedroom home in a generous plot of High quality fixtures and fittings have been used throughout to create a tasteful and contemporary theme. Attractive tiles in the entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room and 0.86 of an acre. utility room serve the dual purpose of complimenting the neutral decor and fine wooden doors whilst providing forgiving floors at each entry point into the property, perfect for days when wet and muddy shoes or dogs are unavoidable. Stylish, contemporary units have been used to great effect in the kitchen and utility room, providing excellent storage as well as space for appliances, with a built in dishwasher, steamer oven and microwave in the kitchen and spaces available for an American fridge freezer and range cooker. All three bathrooms are finished to the same high standard with shower facilities in both the family bathroom and the en suite to bedroom 1, and a full length bath tub in the other en suite.

Internally each room is well proportioned including 5 double bedrooms, 2 of which enjoy en suite facilities, a comfortable sitting/dining room and an attractive kitchen/ breakfast room. With 3 bedrooms on the ground floor as well as the family shower room, the property retains the step-free appeal of the original bungalow, whilst the 2 first floor bedrooms, both with en suite facilities, provide plenty of space for a growing family. The master bedroom is a particularly fine room with double doors leading onto a sun terrace overlooking the garden; this room could easily be employed as an additional living space if desired. Space for those working from home or desiring a removed place for individual study or hobbies is well provided for with the 5th bedroom ideal for use as a study if required.
