Clarborough

A substantial semi-detached Victorian house over three floors, featuring high ceilings, spacious rooms, airy landings and large sash windows allowing an abundance of light to fill the house.
The modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room includes an integrated gas hob and a woodburning stove with plenty of space for a large table and chairs, and ample storage. This room overlooks the garden and opens directly to a wonderful large terrace, offering an additional "room" for seasonal entertaining space and al fresco dining.
There are two further reception rooms on the ground floor, a large sitting room with exposed timber floorboards and an open fireplace which opens to the dining room, currently a music room. There is also a peaceful separate study and a ground floor cloakroom with WC.

On the second floor are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, all of which have views of the surrounding hills. A family bathroom services these bedrooms.
The Outside
The property has generous off-road, private parking to the front of the house with space for several vehicles. To the side of the house is an open fronted garage/carport with useful attached storeroom.
Behind the house, adjacent to the terrace, is a good-sized utility room with WC and a workshop, attached to the kitchen and with external access.
The large south-facing terrace leads to a generous level lawned garden area framed by beautiful mature trees, creating a very private outdoor space.
The garden is predominantly to the rear of the property and has been beautifully maintained by the vendors. This area is fenced and is child and dog friendly.
