The Grooms was built in the mid 1980s, featuring stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. This deceptively large property offers exceptional ground floor accommodation that features the master bedroom suite, incorporating a large bedroom, dressing room and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom with separate shower. The room sizes throughout are exceptional with the overall accommodation extending to just under 220 sq metres.
This immaculate home has been considerably improved by the owners who have carried out a comprehensive programme of enhancement with the result being a stylish and luxuriously appointed home.
The ground floor comprises an entrance lobby that opens to a cloakroom and a separate door opens to a large inner hallway. This features a vaulted ceiling with a Velux, stairs rising to the first floor and a glazed door opening to the patio. The study is of a generous size and offers ample space for those looking to work from home.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a bespoke range of base storage cupboards with granite worktops over, a most appealing circular island with a timber top and integrated storage, a built in Miele eye level oven and a separate integrated under counter cooker with twin ovens and a large induction hob over. There is plumbing for a dishwasher, a built in cooker hood, space for an American style fridge/freezer and ample space for a table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen is the utility room that houses the Grant oil fired boiler that was installed in 2018 and is serviced annually. The utility also features a worktop with sink, wall cupboards and space for white goods.
The highly impressive reception room is a particularly welcoming room with the focal point being a substantial fireplace and chimney breast and a Morso wood burner on a flagstone hearth. Dual aspect and French doors open to a lovely conservatory which is glazed on three sides and has a most pleasant aspect over the grounds to the rear.
Accessed from the hallway is the master bedroom suite with the bedroom having double doors opening to outside, airing cupboard and door opening to the dressing room. This has ample space for freestanding furniture or could be fitted out if desired. Directly off is the large en suite bathroom that includes a bath, large shower enclosure, W.C., bidet and wash hand basin.
On the first floor are three further bedrooms with the largest having an en suite shower room, perfect for guests. Further is a well appointed bathroom that features an integrated shower system.
