This spacious character property forms an end wing and is decorated in neutral tones throughout, increasing the feeling of airiness. With high ceilings, large secondary glazed windows and curved walls, this individual property is both elegant and welcoming. The main entrance door opens from the cloister (a sheltered area to sit and enjoy the gardens in all weathers) into the hallway, which runs along the inside curve of the building and features an understairs utility / storage cupboard to the one end with space and plumbing provision for both a washing machine and tumble drier. The expansive lounge, with dual aspect windows and feature fireplace is a lovely place for entertaining. Adjacent to the lounge is the cloakroom/WC with wall mounted gas combination boiler and hot water cylinder. The rear aspect study has plenty of room for a large desk with a useful recess for cabinets / bookshelves etc. The remainder of the ground floor comprises the modern kitchen diner, again, a well proportioned room with a dining area to the far end, having French style doors opening to the gardens behind. The main kitchen area features a comprehensive range of bespoke duck egg blue fronted units of base and wall mounted cupboards and drawers, with contrasting worktops over. A stand alone matching central island is finished with hard wearing quartz work surface, providing additional breakfast seating space as well as storage. A range cooker with six gas burners and fan assisted electric ovens below forms the focal point of the kitchen, with chimney style cooker hood over.
Turned stairs rise from the ground floor to the first floor landing, which again, runs along the inside curve of the property. To the one end, over the lounge, is the spacious main bedroom, with its double aspect windows enjoying far reaching views over the gardens and farmland beyond. The roomy guest bedroom is located to the other end of the landing, having built-in wardrobes to one wall and en-suite shower room. A third single bedroom is located adjacent to this, having a useful alcove for a wardrobe etc. Bedrooms One and Three share the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite, including a bath with shower over, close coupled WC and pedestal wash hand basin. A useful storage room completes the first floor, having the benefit of a front aspect outlook.
The property enjoys the use of the surrounding gardens, which extend to approximately two acres, and which are immaculately maintained. As well as two parking spaces immediately to the front of the property, the owners of number 3 have an additional garage with parking space in front, located behind the main building, in the more recent part of the development. The maintenance charge payable covers the Listed Building property insurance, exterior maintenance/decoration (when required) and grounds upkeep etc, ensuring that this historic property remains attractive at all times and in good repair.
