"The Firs is a delightful, detached home located on the edge of a village with far reaching views over adjacent countryside. Originally a double fronted Georgian cottage with an attractive fa ade covered in wisteria, it was extended twice in the last century, to create a spacious and versatile living space. The central reception hall is a sitting room in its own right with features such as exposed beams and stone walling. Adjacent is the main sitting room with door onto the moon garden and lovely views over the adjacent field plus a wood burning stove for cosy evenings. The snug study next door benefits from a dual aspect looking over countryside. The open plan kitchen is of particular note, ticking the boxes for most buyers with stylish kitchen units and plenty of room for large dining area with double doors leading directly onto a south facing terrace and gardens; pretty perfect! There are views from all four bedrooms, the two principal bedrooms have stunning far reaching southerly views plus en suite bathrooms. In addition, a family bathroom serves two further bedrooms with a separate cloakroom in the annexe. A self contained annexe is attached to the house and if a fifth bedroom is required it can be accessed from the first floor, or it has a separate entrance at the back of the house. This leads to an entrance hall, bedroom, cloakroom, and an L shape sitting room. This versatile space currently used as a consulting room, could be utilised as a separate apartment, home office as it has its own entrance should one wish.
