Michaelmas has been the cherished family home of the current owners since it was purchased from new in 1993. This substantial property is situated in a highly desirable and peaceful location within a small close enjoying far reaching views over adjoining fields.
The front door opens to a central hallway with stairs to the first floor. The sitting room runs from front to back and at over 22’ is an impressive room featuring an open Jetmaster fire as its centrepiece. From the sitting room, double doors lead into a spacious dining room, creating a wonderful open-plan area ideal for family gatherings or a separate room for meals and hosting guests. Adjacent to the dining room is a conveniently positioned kitchen, fully equipped with an excellent range of units, ample work surfaces, an eye-level double oven, induction hob and a ceramic sink that overlooks the garden. A utility/boot room, ideally located off the kitchen, provides easy access to the garden. The ground floor also includes a cloakroom and a study, which is perfect for those working from home. Additionally, a door from the hallway provides direct access to the double garage.
Moving upstairs, there is a spacious landing, family bathroom and four generously sized double bedrooms, three of which enjoy far reaching countryside views. All the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and the principal bedroom has the added convenience of an en-suite shower room.
Outside, the driveway offers off-road parking and leads to the double garage. Gates on both sides of the property provide access to a pathway and side gardens, one of which is particularly wide, featuring raised vegetable beds. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established shrub and flower borders, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. A paved patio area completes the garden, offering a perfect spot to sit and relax after a busy day.
