Approached via a shared lane, the highly private garden and driveway are accessed via electrically operated timber gates with adjoining stone walling. The garden itself is predominately laid to lawn with a gravelled path leading to the composite decked area, which is partly enclosed by a glass balustrade and provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining. The sweeping driveway offers parking for several vehicles and leads to the timber carport ( 18’0” x 17’0” ). There is also a charming side courtyard with a sunken pond and double timber store with a veranda.

 

Accessed via a storm porch, the property is inviting and is entered into the entrance hall, which is laid with solid oak flooring and gives access to all ground floor accommodation. Boasting dual aspect views, the living/ dining room is flooded with natural light, with views across the garden and river, and extends the full depth of the property. There is plenty of space to accommodate both living and dining furniture, making it the perfect, sociable space with a beautiful working log burner as its focal point. Designed with both function and finish in mind by a local cabinetmaker, the kitchen/ breakfast room comprises a range of solid oak eye and base level units with granite work surfaces, corner larder and integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, dishwasher and a beautiful cooker alcove displaying antique ceramic tiles and an inset Lacanche gas and electric five ring Range style cooker.
