ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Built in the early 1980s, Oaklea Farm enjoys a commanding position surrounded, to 3 sides, by its own gardens and fields. The accommodation throughout is in impeccable order and offers a "move in ready" family home. The 3750 sq ft of space can offer a considerable degree of adaptability and has the potential to create an annex from the snooker room(subject to any appropriate consent).

An entrance porch opens into a central ground floor hallway from which a staircase leads to the first floor and doors lead to the principal reception rooms. Solid wood floor to the hall extends into the lounge. The dual aspect lounge has a broad window to the front elevation and sliding patio doors to the rear from which there are views over the gardens onto fields and farmland in a southerly aspect. It features a wood burning stove set within an exposed stone chimney breast. Bespoke, double arched doors link directly to the dining room. A modern kitchen, fitted within more recent years, features a comprehensive range of units and granite worktops with appliances, where fitted, to remain including; induction hob, twin ovens and a fully integrated dishwasher; freestanding stainless steel fridge to remain. Ample room remains for a dining table. Doors open from the kitchen into the south-facing conservatory. A second reception room, accessed from the hallway has considerable potential for many and varied uses including playroom, home study etc. Beyond the kitchen is a utility area from which there is access to a covered carport and to a further laundry area located to the rear of the former garage. This converted space includes a study and snooker room with full-size snooker table (by separate negotiation). A cloak room and a further storage area/boiler room is accessed from here. There is considerable potential for this space to be converted to an integral annex if ever required (subject to any appropriate consent).
