The property
No 2 Hall Lane is an exceptionally well-presented semi-detached cottage, dating back to circa 1930s and has more recently been extended, remodelled and refurbished to a particularly high standard, by the current owners.
A feature of the property is the extensive south facing gardens adjoining open countryside over which there are spectacular views.
The accommodation
A clay tiled canopy porch gives way to the front door opening into a welcoming reception hall featuring attractive two-column radiators and stripped four-panel internal doors, which feature throughout the house. Off the entrance hall is a cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin and a worktop with under counter space and plumbing for laundry appliances. At the heart of the house is a charming kitchen fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets, including a central island unit all under granite work surfaces. Appliances include a stainless-steel double Range cooker with extractor hood, an integral Neff microwave and integrated Smeg dishwasher, with space for a free-standing fridge freezer. The kitchen enjoys ample space for a substantial breakfast table and has wonderful views to the garden. Off the kitchen is a rear porch with cloaks hanging space, with a door leading to the rear terrace.
The well-proportioned sitting room features an Aga wood-burning stove within a recess with oak overmantel and granite hearth. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the sitting room into the adjoining dining room; the latter enjoying electric underfloor heating. The dining room is particularly noteworthy, having four-panel bi-folding doors affording exceptional views across the gardens to open countryside, which lead out to a natural stone paved terrace.
The spacious first-floor landing accommodates a large linen cupboard and loft access hatch. Opening from the landing is a useful family reception area, ideal as a children's study or entertaining room, but could equally be converted to create a fourth bedroom by way of a simple internal partition. The generous master bedroom has wonderful rural views, as do bedrooms two and three; bedroom two having French doors with a Juliette balcony.
All bedrooms are served by a luxurious and spacious family bathroom featuring a free-standing clawfoot bath, WC, wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cabin with drench head and integrated speakers.
Gardens and grounds
A wooden gate opens onto an extensive gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, with double wooden arch-top gates giving access to further parking, ideal for a caravan or boat storage.
To the rear of the house is a raised natural stone paved terrace with feature lighting and an appealing southerly aspect. The formal lawned top garden is bordered by mature beds, including camellia and rhododendron shrubs. The gardens include a timber Pergola and a large timber garden shed with additional store and beyond this are the meadow lawns, currently housing a chicken enclosure with coupe, fruit trees and a small stream to the bottom.
