Description

The Anchorage is a detached family home, constructed circa 1998. The property is beautifully presented and is in excellent condition, has an open aspect and is flooded with natural light. The accommodation is spread over two principal floors, ground and first, is double glazed throughout and heated by way of a biomass central heating system.

The Anchorage is approached via a minor road around the back of the village. A private driveway which is suitable for 2 or 3 vehicles gives access to the front of the house. Three or four steps lead to the front door and into a welcoming reception hallway. From here the accommodation flows naturally from room to room starting with the family sitting room. The sitting room is a bright and well-proportioned room with a large window to the front aspect and patio doors giving access to the rear garden. There is a multi-fuel stove housed within a stone fireplace, acting as the main focal point and ample space for free standing furniture. The kitchen is an impressive room which has a range of cream country style wall and base units and integrated appliances. There is ample space for a large family table and it enjoys an outlook to both the front and rear. At the back of the house is the utility room and downstairs W.C. The utility room also offers access to the potting shed and the garage.

The central staircase in the reception hall leads to the first floor landing, which gives access to three double bedrooms and the loft space, which we understand could provide further accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consent. The master bedroom is a generous space above the sitting room and boasts built in wardrobes, excellent rural views and an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms at first floor level, bedroom 2 boasting built in wardrobes. Both bedrooms are supported by a large family bathroom.

Garden Grounds

The Anchorage sits in mature garden grounds which back onto open farmland. A private tarmacadam driveway gives access to a parking area and the integral double garage.

The gardens are secure and pet friendly. A path leads around the side of the house to the rear garden which has been recently landscaped to comprise lawned areas, raised vegetable beds, paved patios ideal for al fresco dining and mature and well stocked shrub and flower beds. The attached double garage benefits from an electric up and over door and houses the biomass boiler.
