THE AGENT SAYS...
Story’s House is a spacious and elegant property with light-filled rooms and many desirable features. The charming kitchen/dining room offers much sought-after family space with a sociable layout, room for a sofa, and comfortable farmhouse dining for 8 people. The wowfactor room on the first floor is the principal bedroom which is a fantastic size and boasts an en-suite shower room and fitted storage. Outside, there are large lawned gardens front and rear, plenty of parking and an enormous outbuilding which is over 100ft in length and bursting with potential.

THE PROPERTY
Entering the property from the front, the porch provides plenty of storage space for shoes and coats. Beyond this is the expansive and elegant entrance hall from where doors lead to the ground floor accommodation. To the left is the dual-aspect sitting room which has a stone fireplace with wood burning stove and bay windows, both with built-in benches, overlooking the front and rear gardens. Double doors lead through to the delightful garden room which has a wood-panelled ceiling, arched windows and a tiled floor. A door opens to the garden at the side.

Back in the hall, double doors with colourful glass inserts, lead through to the dining room. This is another lovely room with an imposing feature fireplace (not working) and plenty of space for a large dining table and other freestanding furniture. Adjoining the dining room is the spacious farmhouse kitchen that will be the envy of all your guests, ticking many ‘must-have’ boxes.

Predominantly freestanding, the kitchen has large island units that form a sociable food preparation space, with a run of fitted units behind that houses the sink and integrated dishwasher. There is a large Welsh dresser, Aga with mantle shelf, and ample additional freestanding storage space. The dining table comfortably seats 8 and there is plenty of room for a sofa too. Behind the kitchen is a generous utility room which houses the boiler, freezer, washing machine and tumble drier, and has a sink with storage underneath. There is a separate WC and a side door leads out to the rear garden.

A door from the dining area leads back into the hall from where the stairs rise to the first floor. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The palatial, dual-aspect principal bedroom spans the depth of the house and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a window seat. The en-suite shower room is smartly finished with plenty of fitted storage and a spacious shower enclosure.

Bedroom 2 is a spacious double with an attractive fireplace and a window seat. Bedroom 3 is also a good-sized double/twin room and bedroom 4 is a single room. The family bathroom is a great size with a fully glazed walk-in shower, bath, modern sink with suspended vanity, wallhung WC and designer radiator with towel bars.

Stairs lead up from the first floor landing to the attic above which runs the length of the house. Although head height is restricted in places, the space is awash with light and would make a lovely peaceful working from home/hobby space, while retaining plentiful room for storage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property is set well back from the street and approached via a private gravel drive, with ample parking in front of the house. The long front garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging and mature trees, with planted borders in front and a stone-built log store. There is pedestrian access to the rear garden past the garden room.

Alongside the drive is an enormous and characterful outbuilding, exceeding 100ft in length, which is divided into a barn, storage areas and a workshop/garage. This unique selling point surely has many potential uses but could be fantastic for car enthusiasts, wood workers, potters and more. Subject to consents it could also make a great annexe.

The rear garden is laid to lawn with plenty of mature trees and shrubs. There is a formal garden of clipped hedges next to the garden room and a path leads alongside and around the back, widening to a patio dining area behind the kitchen. At the far end of the garden a low hedge encloses a large vegetable plot with a summerhouse.
