"This period property was the local store in the early 1900s and offers the opportunity to own a piece of St Cross history. It has since been sympathetically converted and extended to produce an immaculately presented home with superb family accommodation. The sunny aspect of many of the windows gives the house an abundance of natural light, adding to the spacious feel throughout contemporary window shutters have been recently fitted to add privacy when required.

On entering the property, the welcoming entrance hall divides the middle of house with the principal reception rooms situated on either side. These rooms are connected by the stunning, solid oak, herringbone flooring which flows throughout the hallway and reception space. The impressive, double aspect sitting room lies to the front and features an attractive wood burner inset within the fire surround. The elegant, light filled dining room has plenty of space for a large table and chairs and features a handy utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine. A door leads through to the rear of the property where there is a useful downstairs WC and a step down to the stylish Neptune fitted kitchen. The kitchen itself is well appointed and bright with base and eye level units providing plenty of storage. Integrated appliances include Neff Dishwasher and Fridge Freezer, Qooker tap and space for a range style cooker. French doors open onto the patio and garden beyond.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a good sized single. The principal bedroom is situated at the front of the house and is an excellent size, with plenty of natural light courtesy of its double aspect. Both this room and bedroom two to the rear benefit from built in Sharps storage, while bedroom four also has the advantage of integrated wardrobes. A striking, modern family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower completes the accommodation on this floor.

Unusually, the house has a large cellar which is accessed externally and provides considerable storage. There is side access to the pretty rear garden which is laid with low maintenance artificial grass, a newly fitted paved patio area and shrub borders. A fantastic purpose built modern outbuilding is situated at the rear of the garden and is fully set up for home office or entertainment space with full light and power and underfloor heating for the colder weather. Bifold doors open onto the garden.

Permit parking is available on the road.
