Of period origins, Oakdene is an attractive stone cottage under a clay tile and pantiled roof set in delightful gardens in an elevated position with lovely views. In recent years Oakdene has been completely refurbished; the property is now beautifully presented and has nicely proportioned rooms with good ceiling heights. In 2011 a wood pellet biomass boiler was installed. There is a PV system and solar thermal hot water. The property has a modern direct plumbing system. Other attributes include attractive timber flooring in the hall, dining room, drawing room and study, open fireplaces in the sitting and dining rooms, both with inset woodburners. Oakdene has a well fitted modern kitchen, with a Cuisine range cooker with an induction hob and extractor fan, a built in dishwasher and microwave. At first floor level there are four double bedrooms, all south facing (bedrooms three and four currently being used as a dressing room and study). Secondary heating is provided by the woodburner in the sitting room which heats the radiator and hot water cylinder for bedroom two. The property is approached through electric gates onto a gravelled car park and turning area adjoining which is the double garage with two up and over electric doors with light and power. Behind the garage there is a timber garden shed. The garden lies primarily to the front and side of Oakdene and is laid to lawn with particularly well stocked flower and shrub borders. To the right of the drive there is a raised vegetable bed and trellised area with compost bins. Gravel extends along the front facade providing an ideal sitting out area which leads to the lawn with a mature oak tree flanked by flower and shrub borders including hostas, ferns, pittosporum, peonies and roses. The gravel also extends along the rear facade which provides additional sitting out space flanked by closeboard fencing. The garden is well screened on all sides with a further garden shed.PROPERTY INFORMATIONServices: Mains water, electricity and drainage. Central heating by wood pellet boiler.
