Approached over a short private road which borders the Kennet and Avon canal, an ornate automated iron gate opens to the private drive and parking/turning area to the front of the house and its detached double garage. A short flight of steps leads to the welcoming panelled front door with large glazed panel to one side. On entering, the immediate feeling is of space with the reception hall providing access to the living space and the bedrooms and bathrooms arranged on the western side of the property.

The arrangement is one of open plan living with the sitting room, dining room and conservatory (double glazed) successfully combined into one large and enjoyable room, with windows to all sides and glazed doors to the garden. There is access to the neighbouring kitchen/breakfast room which can also be accessed from the reception hall. The kitchen/breakfast room has a pair of double glazed doors and a single glazed door to the garden providing easy access to the south facing seating terrace. The cabinets are situated on walls and floor, and a central island unit provides further drawers, all with beach wood frontage and extensive granite work surface. Appliances include Miele double ovens, warming draw, microwave oven and a 5 ring gas hob with extractor hood above plus plumbing for a washing machine. There are useful full height store cupboards and a walk in larder with slate cold shelves.

On the western side of the property, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with wash basin, W.C., panelled bath and a separate shower. There are three further bedrooms and the family bathroom has a wash basin, W.C. and a panelled bath.

Outside

Outside, the detached garage has an electrically operated door and a pedestrian door to the garden. The gardens are a major feature of the property. Walled to all sides and predominately arranged as lawns there are delightful specimen trees including cotoneaster and clipped yew and box. A seating terrace borders the rear of the house and benefits from a southerly aspect whilst being accessible from the living room and kitchen. A high wall separates the frontage from the rear garden and access is through an ornate metal gate set into an archway. The garden to west of the house has a stunning fir tree and is bordered by a beach hedge.
