The fabulous kitchen/dining room has been tastefully fitted with a range of bespoke floor and wall units from James Ellis Design, as well as a fantastic kitchen island with breakfast bar. The kitchen includes granite work surfaces with upstands over, an integrated eye-level, foldaway oven (with built-in microwave), an integrated dishwasher, a 4-ring gas hob with granite splashback and extractor hood over, space for a fridge/freezer and a sink with mixer taps.

From the kitchen, a door leads through to a rear/side lobby, which has an external door to the side passageway through to the drive and access into another cloakroom with low-level WC and wash hand basin. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a utility room, which matches the kitchen design and offers a stainless steel sink unit, as well as space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a tumble drier.

On the first floor, a galleried landing enjoys plenty of natural light and is fitted with engineered oak flooring, continued into all of the bedrooms. The property has four bedrooms, all of which are generous in size and three benefiting from a series of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage.

To one side of the workshop is a separate yard space, which is enclosed to all sides.

With a plot totalling approx. 2.84 acres, the property has a terrific garden to the rear, ideal for families with children or green-fingered purchasers.

From the garden, there are five bar gates to both the driveway and into the adjoining paddock, allowing straight forward vehicular access through to the paddock, if required. There is also additional access from Portfield Lane which leads into and across the land at the rear.

The paddock is mostly level and has stock-proofed boundaries, with a pond at the rear and a timber framed tractor store.
