Formerly part of the Whiligh Estate, this house shares its attractive design with all of the Whiligh Estate houses in the area.

Both the living room and sitting room enjoy a fireplace with a wood burning stove, exposed timbers, latched doors, windows to front aspect and doors through to kitchen/breakfast room.
The bright and spacious open plan kitchen/ breakfast/family space spreads across the rear of the property. The kitchen is a fabulous handcrafted kitchen, with a range of off-white cupboards, open shelves and drawers, with black granite worktops, integrated sink with etched drainer, range style cooker, fridge and dishwasher, tiled splash back, two windows to rear, and tiled flooring.
The breakfast area has stunning oak flooring, and a part vaulted ceiling, door to rear garden, window to rear with a study recess and a door to a cloakroom. There is also an under stairs cupboard and doors through to living room and sitting room.
Off the kitchen is a very useful utility/laundry room, with windows, underfloor heating and door to side, tiled floor, sink unit and cupboards.
Upstairs, there is a master bedroom to front, with access to the eaves storage which also holds the water cylinder, and a double depth wardrobe above the stairs. There is a further bedroom also facing the front, and a third bedroom to rear with countryside views.
The bathroom is modern and stylish, with a tiled floor, electric under floor heating, bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and basin, window to rear, part tiled walls and towel rail.
Outside, there is off road parking to the front, with a small picket fence and gravel area to the front door. A garage door opens into a useful storeroom. A side gate leads into the rear garden, with several allocated areas. Immediately to the side of the house are various sheds, store areas and a greenhouse with electric supply.
There is a gravel seating area with a large Bramley apple tree, vegetable plots and an expanse of lawn leading down to the far end of the garden with two fruit trees and a further grass area. Linked by an Indian sandstone path all the way back to the house and following it around the house to a large entertaining patio, with space for table and chairs and positioned to make the most of the evening sunshine. This more formal area of garden also houses a Wendy house, covered seating area behind the house and hides the oil tank for the central heating.
