Enjoying a beautiful rural setting that is genuinely hard-to-beat 'The Templars' is sat on a leafy, highly coveted county lane behind beautiful mature gardens that enjoy panoramic views and total privacy with no neighbours either side and only paddocks with horses to the rear.

Brimming with instant appeal, you drive off the lane onto an extensive gravelled driveway that provides ample off road parking and leads to an attached double garage with power & lights and a workshop area. Outside, to the front there is a lovely sunny lawned garden the size of a football pitch with pretty mature borders and seating areas enjoying westerly aspects. To the rear there is a charming garden with gravelled patio that is perfect for al fresco dining and has mature planting to the boundaries and a low fence that takes advantage of the vista over adjoining farm land and grazing pastures for ponies and sheep.

The house has panoramic 360 views with every window in the house overlooking gorgeous countryside and although some parts do require cosmetic updating and remodeling to bring it up to modern standards (a fact reflected in the competitive asking price) the property boasts a substantial footprint and lovely bright and spacious accommodation throughout.

Including the attached double garage the ground floor space alone totals 1869 square feet which is larger than most four bedroom detached houses have in total and comprises a centrally placed entrance hallway provides access to the versatile accommodation that briefly comprises a formal lounge with beamed ceilings and feature Minster stone fireplace with open fire, dining room with beamed ceiling (both enjoying lovely aspects over the rear garden and fields beyond) and a well-appointed, hand painted breakfast kitchen with AGA range cooker that leads through to a large additional family / sitting room with dual aspects. Completing the accommodation downstairs there are two double sized bedrooms and a recently modernised 3 piece family bathroom. Upstairs there is a full floor of extra accommodation totalling over 1,000 square feet comprising a really impressively-sized 5 piece family bathroom plus a study area on landing that leads to two large bedrooms. All the rooms have good ceiling heights and storage in the eaves.

Warmed by oil Fired central heating (Worcester boiler) the property has recently benefited from all new uPVC double glazed windows and doors.
