"Description

32 High Street is a deceptively spacious and immaculately presented four five bedroom family home, set on the edge of the village with the most glorious views over open fields and the countryside beyond. The property has been completely renovated and extended by the current owners and now offers fantastic and flexible living spaces with a great feeling of space and light.

Upon entering the property you are greeted by a wonderful sight line through the property and towards the garden beyond. The main reception room is dual aspect and centred around a fireplace place with wood burning stove.

The real heart of the home is the fabulous open plan kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen is modern and centred around the island with stools around. Accessed from the kitchen is the utility room with door outside, great for muddy boots and paws. There is a space for a dining table and a seating area to one end providing the perfect spot for sitting and enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. Bi fold doors open out from this room to the terrace and garden beyond, making this the ideal space for entertaining or family gatherings. There are three double bedrooms, a well appointed family bathroom and a separate W.C. on this floor.

To the lower level is a fantastic studio space which has been utilised over the years as an additional bedroom as it has its own ensuite bathroom and kitchen area. This space could also be used as a home office or as the owners currently use it as, an additional living space. Doors open from this room onto the garden, ideal for when you have guests to come and stay as they can enjoy this space whilst keeping the rest of the home clean and tidy.

The principal bedroom occupies the whole top floor of the home and has a dressing space, its own private balcony and an ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath, twin sinks and shower.

Outside

To the front of the property is gravelled off street parking for several vehicles and steps lead down to the front door. The rear garden is a wonderful space for families with a large area of lawn providing plenty of space for children to run around or kick a football about. A paved area features an outside bar and an adjoining seating area for when you wish to entertain. There is a fantastic terrace which runs the width of the property, a great space for entertaining or for sitting out an enjoying the sunshine or for alfresco dining and with bi folds to the kitchen breakfast room it really brings the outside in. The garden feels secluded whilst also enjoying the most wonderful views across open fields and the countryside beyond. From the bottom of the garden is a path which leads right into the centre of the village, meaning small children can walk safely to the playground. There are an array of walks right from the doorstep, so if dogs are something to be considered, this is a great added benefit.
