Situation

This area offers a pastoral quality of life with excellent access to commuter links and the larger towns and cities in the locality, which are all within reasonable travelling distances. A perfect combination for rural living, combined with modern-day accessibility.

Pelerine

The property is approached via a private driveway off a quiet rural lane, which leads to the ample gravelled parking area located at the front of the property.
The property has been very well-maintained and this super home offers a wonderful opportunity to live in an idyllic, rural location.
The house is very spacious and light and provides excellent accommodation throughout, with the welcoming, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room being the heart of this lovely home.
The kitchen offers ample storage and benefits from a breakfast bar, a Rangemaster range cooker with cooker hood, and space/plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. The breakfast area has direct access out to the patio and garden.

Pelerine Ctd.

The comfortable sitting room with wood burner leads through to a lovely conservatory which has direct access to the garden. There is also a further reception room, currently used as a study; a great versatile space which could be re-purposed to suit. This room benefits from a large, walk-in cupboard and additional fitted storage cupboards. There is also a useful downstairs bathroom.
Upstairs there is a spacious landing with very useful built-in storage cupboards, and which is a great flexible space for an additional sitting area or office/study area, etc.
There are 6 good-sized double bedrooms and 2 bath/shower rooms on the first floor. The very generous main bedroom benefits from a walk-in dressing room which could easily be converted to an en-suite if desired as plumbing is in situ.
A one-bedroom annexe (now incorporated as part of the main house) could easily be re-instated on the ground floor, this being fully self-contained with its own separate access if required.

The Outside

The property is situated centrally within its gardens, surrounded by enclosed lawns and planted with a variety of established trees and shrubs. The garden offers further scope for keen gardeners and is a lovely space to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
A large patio terrace offers a great space for seasonal dining, summer BBQ’s and entertaining, with a further patio leading directly off the conservatory.
There is a good timber barn/workshop and two further timber storage sheds.
A large, gravelled parking area provides parking for several vehicles and there is ample space to erect a garage or car port, subject to the necessary permissions, if desired.
A static caravan is situated off the driveway and is currently used for storage. There is scope to upgrade/replace this to provide extra income if required.
