Little Wharf is a very well presented and deceptively spacious detached property with beautiful countryside views. The current owners have made several improvements to the property including a new roof, cladding and render to the external walls, upgrading the electrics and heating system, replacement windows and doors and a new shower room, as well as extending the driveway and landscaping the garden.

It is considered there is further potential to extend the property. Planning permission (now lapsed) was granted in 2017 to raise the roof and add an extra bedroom and two bathrooms to the first floor (ref: RR/2017/157/P). Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, there is also space over the garage that might be utilised.

One enters via the front door to a vestibule, with a further door opening into the kitchen. The kitchen comprises a mixed range of cupboards and drawers, range cooker, integrated sink and drainer by the front facing window, and has space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. There is a step down to a larder space with further window to the front.

A door leads off the kitchen to the inner hallway, which in turn leads to the dining room, sitting room, and ground floor shower room. There is a window to the rear and stairs leading up to the first floor, with skylight in the stairwell. There is also a useful understairs storage cupboard.

The dining room leads through to the conservatory, which provides access to the patio.

The sitting room has a bay window with French doors leading out to the rear garden, affording views over the garden and view beyond. This room also features a wood burner with tiled fireback, hearth and exposed flue.

The recently installed shower room comprises a walk-in shower cubicle, WC and basin. It has a window to the front and side, part tiled walls, tiled floor and an airing cupboard.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms. The main bedroom is at the rear of the house, benefitting from the views and having a wall of built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom has useful eaves storage and an adjoining WC.

To the front of the house is off-road parking for three cars in addition to the attached double garage. Gates provide access down the side of the garage and directly to the rear garden. The garage has power and lighting, electric up-and-over vehicular doors and a pedestrian door to the rear terrace. The garage also houses the recently installed boiler.

The rear, south facing garden is a generous size and features an expanse of lawn with flower bed borders and hedge boundaries. Concealed between two hedges is a vegetable patch and composting area. Up by the house, the vendors have created a raised paved patio and decked area, plus barbeque terrace, ideal for summer entertaining and dining. From here you can enjoy the views to the rear. The vendors have also created an indoor bar/dining room with power and lighting. It is considered this could be adapted to provide a home office if required. To the side is a log/storage shed. On the other side of the house is a further gravel terrace with a greenhouse, further log store and large water-butt.
