Property Summary
Property Details
Fentwell House is an individual detached village house with great access and parking along with a first class, cut above interior. The particularly well laid out interior is arranged off an inviting central hallway serving two lovely sized reception rooms along with a social kitchen dining space in which the current owners even enjoy the use of a sofa. The first floor is equally well laid out and roomy and includes unusually good built in storage. Decoration, fittings and all round finish is very good indeed and key spaces such as the kitchen and bathrooms are of the highest standard. The traditional look of the house albeit only about 15 years old, echoes cottage styling with three dormer windows across the top along with what is known as a 'cats slide' roof detail to one side, something often found in period cottages in the area. Furthermore, sash type windows show off the front of the house with more traditional cottage casement style windows elsewhere. Likewise, with heat and efficiency in mind, radiator heating throughout is fired via LPG which, rather than being from an above ground cylindrical tank, gas storage has been set below ground out of the way.
