Vine House is a rare ‘one off’ which was individually built in the mid 1980’s and located at the end of a long, sweeping driveway. Enjoying a prime, conservation setting close to the village centre this spacious home, available to the open market for the very first time was built for a discerning client and designed to impress. The property is entered into a large, double-height reception hall above which is an open, first floor gallery. The sitting room with open fire flows seamlessly into a conservatory and the adjoining kitchen overlooks and opens onto the garden. A large, formal dining room could easily be repurposed as a ground floor bedroom and there is also a utility room and ground floor shower room. On the first floor are three double bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and a large, luxurious family bathroom. A long driveway terminates at an integral double garage and mature gardens enjoy a private, North westerly aspect. Lovingly maintained throughout the configuration of the accommodation offers great flexibility, and there is possibly further development potential. Priced realistically, early viewing is strongly recommended.
