PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in 1952, Summit is an individual detached property with a
wealth of character and charm. Having been extended at the rear,
the property offers further development potential, subject to
relevant planning permission. A brick arched recessed porch leads
you to the front door and into the entrance hall with stair access
and cloakroom. The original herringbone flooring runs through from
the hall and continues into both the sitting room and dining room.
The sitting room has triple aspect with lovely views all around. It
has an inset log burner and there are french doors which lead you
directly into the garden. The kitchen breakfast room has a lovely
terracotta tiled floor and a beautiful decorative sink overlooks
the garden. There is a separate utility room with back door. The
dining room overlooks the front of the house and there is a serving
hatch through to the kitchen. Next to the dining room is bedroom 4
but could also serve as an office study. Upstairs a window on the
landing offers fabulous field views and beyond. The main bedroom
suite has a dressing room, incorporating a shower and built in
wardrobes. The room then leads into the bedroom area with garden
views and a large eaves storage cupboard. There are 2 further
double bedrooms both with built in storage. Along the landing is
the airing cupboard which houses the gas fired boiler and water
tank. The family bathroom is a white suite and there is a bath with
overhead shower. The property benefits from UPVC cottage style
windows throughout
OUTSIDE
Set back from the road, the property is approached through an in
and out gravelled driveway offering parking for several cars. The
front is hedged and there is a pretty lawned area with some low
trees and shrubs. There is a detached single double length garage
with an up and over front door and an additional side door.
A side gate on the right takes you to the rear garden which is
spectacular. Mature trees give a park like feel and hedging to all
sides offer total privacy. The garden is west facing and there are
2 fish ponds sitting amongst the lawn. A path from the house leads
you to the middle of the garden where you come to the stunning log
cabin which is used as an artists studio. The studio is a Bertsch
Holzbau German design cabin with a veranda, where the most glorious
garden views can be enjoyed. Towards the rear of the garden is a
further hedged area taking you through to where there is a
greenhouse and shed. This space would make for a great vegetable
and fruit garden. With 0.46 of an acre to enjoy, the gardens truly
compliment this property and connect beautifully together. An early
viewing to fully appreciate all it has to offer is highly
recommended.
