How would you like to have a quieter pace of life and move from the hustle and bustle of the city or town and move to a highly sought after village?

The property on offer comprises; a family home with four/five bedrooms attached to a further two-bedroom property that could be utilised as either as an annexe, a place to run a business or work from or to rent out as a buy to let or holiday home. This property would suit families, professionals, commuters, and investors alike.
Let’s start with The Ridings; approached via the driveway and across the gated garden with pathway leading up to the front entrance door. You are immediately welcomed into a generous entrance porch having ample space to push-in and store a pram or drop-down shopping bags. There is a built-in cupboard housing the boiler and a door opens into the entrance hallway where a further double built in cupboard to hang coats and hide away shoes.
First on the left you are immediately surprised by entering a wonderful, generous sized reception room. Formerly the living room, now a snooker/games room. Despite showcasing a full-sized snooker table in the middle of the room there is still ample space around to accommodate seating and even could add a bar in the corner. You can really imagine entertaining family and friends when they visit, as they say “the new going out is staying in” and what a great room to entertain and party in. Whether you have a need for a games room or would want to change it back to a living room, be rest assured there is plenty of space to seat the largest of families. The room has feature glass blocks to one wall and windows with French doors allows plenty of light to flood the room and shutters offer privacy with the view over the garden.
Off the hallway, located to the rear, is the kitchen dining room. The kitchen is fully functioning with an array of cupboards and worksurfaces over with space for fridge/freezer. There is space for a family dining table making this an enjoyable place to catch up with guests over a brew or a glass of wine. Off the kitchen is a utility room having space and plumbing for washing machine and more fitted cupboards aid in keeping the sides clear. If you were wishing to open-up and link the two properties together this is where you would knock a door through into The Old Post Office.
Back into the hallway; there is a downstairs cloakroom with W/C and wash hand basin, a must for all good homes. Stairs rise to the first-floor landing.
Upstairs offers lots of space and flexibility as it spans across both properties. The master bedroom enjoys being dual aspect and has a glass block feature to one wall allowing extra light through. An obscured oriental style screening with sliding door enters you into a three-piece shower en-suite. Behind here a door takes you through to a walk-in wardrobe – every woman’s dream! On this side of the property there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a suite comprising bath and separate walk-in shower cubicle.
To the far end of the landing, split-level steps lead up above The Old Post Office, oozing character with exposed beams and reminds you of the history. A study landing offers a place for an accent chair which would be a nice quiet spot to enjoy a book or position your desk to work from. Two doors lead off opposite each other. To the left is the ‘now’ living room, a bright room with light flooding through Velux’s and a picturesque window that affords a view down the road. On the opposite side of the study landing there is a lovely bedroom again is light and bright with exposed beams. This completes the accommodation of The Ridings.
Outside to the front is the garden space, wall enclosed gated foregarden having an area of laid lawn and a crazy paving seating area. For those who lead busy lives and for those who do not want to spend every weekend tending to a large garden, this is the perfect size. Plenty of space to invite family and friends over for a BBQ during the summer months and also provides a blank canvass for more green fingered souls to create and design. There is a driveway providing parking for two large vehicles.
Next The Old Post Office; as the name suggests this used to be the Post Office to the village and was converted in 2013. Bar a couple of steps inside the property, it is laid across the ground floor making it ideal for ageing relatives with limited mobility.
Approached from the pavement via a ramp or steps up to the front entrance door, opening into the living room having a large window where you can watch the world go by in private. A through to is open to the kitchen.
The kitchen dining room is fitted with modern units with plenty of worksurface space ideal for creating those culinary masterpieces. There is an integrated dishwasher and space and plumbing for washing machine. There is space enough to accommodate either a small dining table or breakfast bar. If both the properties were to be linked together, here is where the door would open from The Ridings utility room.
Carrying off to the left; a few steps rise to the inner hallway, there is a useful built-in cupboard to hide away the hoover and ironing board and doors lead off to the master bedroom which boasts an en-suite shower room and a further double bedroom. Finally, there is a three-piece family bathroom.
