Gallipot Hill, Upper Hartfield, Hartfield

GUIDE PRICE £600,000 – £625,000 There are many reasons why we have fallen in love with this family home; whether it be the extensive ground floor living space which has been cleverly adapted to suit modern family living, the three double bedrooms or the excellent position, backing onto farmland and with panoramic views of open countryside whilst being within the sought after village of Upper Hartfield, only moments away from the beautiful village of Hartfield.

A front door leads into a welcoming entrance hallway with space to welcome guests, we are immediately drawn to the solid oak floor which runs throughout and into the kitchen/dining/family area. The charming sitting room has a feature bay window and a wood burning stove whilst still offering plenty of space for sitting room furniture. We like the flexibility of the ground floor living space, there is a separate reception room which we feel could work well as a home office or playroom however the current owners do use this room as an additional guest bedroom when friends and family stay over, we feel that this works well with the addition of the downstairs showroom and w.c. To the rear of the property sits an incredible kitchen/dining/family room which has the most incredible views out over the garden onto farmland and open countryside, The bi-folding doors and velux windows ensure the extension keeps its natural light coming in. The set-up of this room is fantastic and can be changed throughout the year to suit the season; currently it has a large dining table with a separate seating area or come the summer months you can open up the bi-folding doors and create a free flowing space onto the patio. The kitchen features a freestanding cooker, a variety of wall and base level units, space for an American fridge/freezer and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A useful utility room is located off of the kitchen area and it offers space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, it has provisions for a sink to be added and there is also rear access out onto the garden. A lobby area completes the ground floor which provides space to hang jackets and to store shoes.

On the first floor you will find three double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the front of the house is approached by a 5 bar gate, the driveway can comfortably host four vehicles. The superb rear garden has a large two tier patio entertaining area which leads down to a substantial area of lawn.
