The propertyOriginally a pair of brick and flint farmworker’s cottage, this highly individual property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically extended and renovated to create a substantial and immaculately presented home which would more than meet any family’s needs. The attention to detail is evident throughout and includes marble fireplaces, limestone and ceramic tiled flooring, double glazed windows with attractive internal shutters and luxury bathrooms with mood lighting. There are 5 versatile reception rooms and a stunning kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with Neff and AEG appliances, granite worktops and a large feature central island incorporating a gas 5 burner hob and seating for at least 6, perfect for more informal dining. The master bedroom suite has large bathroom with walk in fully tiled shower cubicle and twin wash basins and a dressing room. On the first floor is access an enviable games room with enough space for a full size snooker table, its own bar with wine fridge and integrated music speakers. The property is very well laid out and offers the

opportunity to purchase a fantastic life-style home of superb proportions with a wealth of stylish and high-quality features.

OutbuildingThe property is approached via a pair of automatic wrought iron double gate giving access to two driveways providing extensive and secure parking. One driveway leads to the double garage which has been converted into a leisure suite, with a sauna and Jacuzzi and steam bath, large utility area and boiler room. The immaculately maintained and landscaped gardens are fully enclosed and boast superb views from the lawns and the large secluded terrace which provides excellent dining and entertaining space. The gardens are well stocked with mature shrubs, trees and hedges and there is a lovely spinney of mature woodland to one side of the property along with a large grassed area which the current owners use as a golf practice area. The gardens are wonderfully private and very special in terms of setting and outlook.
