Description

Occupying a wonderful, edge-of-village position and with far reaching views over the Fynn Valley, Colts Meadow is a substantial family home in grounds extending to over an acre, with beautiful gardens, parking and garaging.

The front door opens on to a spacious entrance hall: to the left is a guest bedroom, bathroom and studio/kitchen. This has been used as a self-contained annexe and is ideal for multi-generational use.

Stairs in the entrance hall lead down to the principal reception rooms and kitchen, and up to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor.

Colts Meadow has a stylish modern kitchen/breakfast room with integrated Neff double oven, gas hob and extractor fan. A door leads through to the utility room.

The wonderfully proportioned and light-filled sitting room has high ceilings and a contemporary wood burning stove; glazed doors lead through to a garden room, which leads out, via sliding doors, to the terrace and garden.

There is a further, triple-aspect, reception room presently used as a dining room, which offers wonderful views over the garden.

The first floor consists of three bedrooms and the family bathroom; the principal bedroom has particularly fine views and an en suite shower room.

Colts Meadow has an attractive, secluded and principally lawned garden of about half an acre, with shrub borders, mature trees and a terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. There is an additional half-acre field with an outbuilding and wildlife pond.
