The Property
Stepping through the front door our eye is drawn up to the decorative dutch gable that cements the history of this charming home, inside we are greeted by the entrance hall which steps up to the staircase and doors that open to both the sitting room and kitchen/dining room. The sitting room is set to the front of the house enjoying a view over the extensive front garden. Our eyes are drawn to the imposing fireplace that commands the focal point of the room whilst exposed timbers line the tall ceilings, at over 14.ft.sq this room offers space for entertaining and family living alike. At the rear we find the kitchen/dining room opening to the garden. This generous room is fitted with a range of timber fronted wall and base units that offer ample storage and working space above. Space is made for our appliances whilst windows to three aspects fill the room with natural light. A door opens to the inner lobby where we find a large understairs storage cupboard and access to the bathroom. The bathroom is again a surprising space, fitted with a classic white suite offering a bath with shower over, wash basin and w/c. Back in the hall we climb the stairs to the first floor landing, here doors open to the first three bedrooms and a second staircase rises to the upper floor. At the rear we find the first two bedrooms, enjoying a view of the rear gardens. The larger offers a good size double whilst the smaller is a generous single room. Set to the front we find the impressive master bedroom. A large window takes in the view and fills the room with natural light whilst an original fireplace is set beside the built in wardrobe. Climbing the second staircase the top floor landing opens to the final bedroom. This generous room is set in the eaves but offers a delightful space that benefits from fitted wardrobes and enjoys the elevated views. This completes the accommodation.

Outside
Approaching the property from Hardley Road we pass the red brick front boundary wall and access the driveway which passes the extensive front garden and leads to the parking area at the side of the house and garage beyond. From here the front door enters at the side of the property and a gate leads into the rear garden. At the front the cottage style garden is a superb size, this is mainly laid to lawn with a range of native shrubs and perennial flowers framing the space. At the rear the garden is impressive. A patio leads from the kitchen which in-turn steps out to the extensive lawned gardens. A variety of flower beds again frame the garden and we find a range of sheds and a greenhouse in situ.
