About this property

DESCRIPTION
Generous home of character, successfully combining cottage attributes with enhanced specification for modern life together with environmentally friendly credentials.

Situated within wonderful grounds, offering excellent vehicle parking/storage, the ability for home working and flowing living space, the property is well suited to family occupation.

Accommodation commences with an entrance porch, protecting the reception hall from which a staircase ascends to the galleried landing over; to one side is the sitting room with woodburning stove and direct garden access.

A separate dining room permits formal entertaining and opens to a conservatory affording views over, and access to, the rear garden. An additional separate snug is cosy for winter evenings.

The breakfast kitchen is generously proportioned with ample informal dining space, re-fitted with a most attractive range of two tone units, granite worktops and a quality appliance package by Bosch/Neff. A useful utility room and cloakroom with WC complete the ground floor.

At first floor level, the sleeping space radiates around the central galleried landing. The main bedroom suite has excellent fitted wardrobes and a generous en suite bathroom off, including freestanding bath and good showering enclosure. Four further bedrooms are provided with bedrooms four and five being interlinked, meaning they are capable of occupation in a number of ways including teenage suite, hobbies or similar. The house bathroom is well appointed too, again boasting a 4 piece suite.

The aforementioned grounds are maturely landscaped, vehicle arrangements include off road parking for several vehicles and an integral double garage with electric doors. Nestled within the rear garden is a brick built home office garden building, perhaps also suitable for use as gymnasium, studio, alfresco entertaining, etc.

The quality specification includes environmentally friendly and economic air source heat pump central heating.

LOCATION
The property enjoys frontage to Main Street in the linear and highly regarded village of Hayton.
