Entering The Folly we catch a glimpse of the Village Green before pushing open the front door of this charming home. The accommodation has been extensively refurbished and enlarged in recent years to provide well laid out and spacious accommodation perfect for modern living yet with a sympathetic eye for detail that embraces this Victorian home. The entrance hall enjoys exposed timber floor boards and a decorative staircase rising to the first floor accommodation, a door opens to the sitting room and we pass a charming window in the walk in pantry before entering the kitchen area. The superb open plan sitting dining room enjoys a large window to the front elevation, the fireplace has an inset wood burning stove, set on a pamment hearth which offers a cosy focal point to this large room whilst timber floor boards flow from here into the dining area. ‘French style‘ doors lead out into the garden room which in turn flows to the delightful outside space making this ideal when summer entertaining. The kitchen is well fitted with timber worktops set over a contemporary range of units that boast a butler sink set below one of two windows. An oil fired range offers a focal point to the room and powers the central heating whilst a separate two burner hob offers a quick and convenient cooking alternative. A large walk in pantry completes the kitchen space and offers un compromised storage. The kitchen opens into the utility room with plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and doors leading to both the garden and ground floor lavatory. On the first floor the landing has an access hatch to the roof space, linen cupboard and a doors opening to the superb roof terrace. The master bedroom has a window to the front elevation and bespoke built in wardrobe along with a store cupboard set in the original chimney breast. The second bedroom is an attractive double aspect room again boasting a bespoke built in wardrobe and feature wrought iron fireplace. The bathroom echoes the exacting standards seen through the home and boasts a bath with shower over, wash basin set in a vanity unit and low level w c. This completes the accommodation.

Outside
Pushing open one of two decorative wrought iron gates that pass the charming railing frontage we enter the property via the attractive front Victorian style courtyard front garden. A path leads us to the front whilst to the left a second gate follows a path to the side of the property and we find gated access to the rear. At the rear we step out of both the utility room and garden room onto a delight area of patio perfect for summer entertaining. A low level brick wall separates the patio and lawn and continues to form attractive planted flower beds that frame the lawns. The space is enclosed by an attractive brick wall which continues to form a small brick outbuilding. At first floor level we step from the landing to the charming roof terrace which provides an elevated view of the surrounding green space and a perfect spot for a morning ‘cuppa‘
