DESCRIPTION
This is an opportunity to acquire a stunning detached residence in this highly sought after location overlooking the countryside yet being within a mile of the town centre and all the amenities. This impressive property has been the subject of considerable expenditure by the current vendors to include new electrics, new plumbing with a high pressure system and a sizeable extension. Approached over a sweeping driveway and sitting in just under an acre (0.8 of an acre), this quality property now offers spacious and versatile accommodation that would suit a variety of uses including family home, dual family occupation, home with an annexe or equally as a bed and breakfast.
Benefiting from elegant proportions throughout, the kitchen / breakfast room is a particular feature that is family orientated with an emphasis on entertaining. There are a set of sliding doors that bring the outside in, along with a fabulous wine cellar with electronically controlled glass doors that creates a real talking point.
The emphasis on entertaining and family continues on the outside with good size patios and lawned sections. There is a vegetable patch along with a full width balcony / terrace on the first floor that enjoys the panoramic countryside views on offer. The agents would strongly recommend a full internal inspection to fully appreciate this quality detached property in this sought after private location.
