SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This smart contemporary home sits on an enviable leafy residential road in an idyllic semi-rural village, hugely popular with families.

A gravelled driveway offering plenty of parking leads to the garage with an additional store room and access into the rear garden.
The entrance doorway neatly accessed to the side of the house opens into a bright and welcoming space with an open cupboard for coats and shoes to keep the area clutter free.
Past a bright shower room, you enter the stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living room. With its abundance of windows and part vaulted ceiling over a smart open tread staircase, it delivers a true sense of space and light.
With underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, the living area to the front of the house has ample space for family sofas and room for the kids to play. A wood burning stove adds character and warmth in the colder months.

For family and entertaining, there is tons of space and a glazed door in the dining area brings views of the garden in as you dine.
Next door there is a light and airy home office which given its size could easily be used as a fourth bedroom, especially with the nearby shower room offering convenience for any visiting guests.
The spacious sitting room to the front is full of sunlight and glorious garden views. It offers the perfect sanctuary and is large enough to entertain friends as well.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three generously sized bedrooms, one with a recess storage area and eaves storage, all flooded with light from their windows with leafy views. A bright modern bathroom completes the floor.
Pretty spacious gardens lie to the front and rear of the house, the back garden safely self-contained for pets and children. They are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedges, trees and shrubs providing a high degree of privacy with a paved terrace outside the kitchen making it perfect for evening entertainment.
Its idyllic semi- rural position is surrounded by open countryside, but it also presents a perfect dynamic of excellent schools, with the highly regarded St Thomas' Primary School within touching distance and excellent travel links on its doorstep.
There is planning approval granted (expiring November 2018) to reconfigure and extend the existing garage to form a utility room, store and studio room. Planning application reference number: WD/2015/2101/F.
