Positioned on an elevated site, its accommodation is arranged over two floors and features five bedrooms, three of which are en suite. The principal living spaces at Elmina are the fashionably open-plan kitchen breakfast room & adjoining open-plan living & dining room plus the stunning sunroom. As you enter the property you are led into a large welcoming entrance hall with solid oak flooring along with a handmade oak staircase to the first floor and doors to the open plan rooms as mentioned. The kitchen being the real heart of the home has ample units with granite worktops, oak flooring and the envy of all kitchens the gas-fired aga making it a perfect cosy room in any weather. On the ground floor are three bedrooms one with an en-suite shower room plus the family bathroom, while on the first floor there is a very landing with a study area plus the two larger bedrooms both having en-suites with the principal bedroom having a balcony again to maximise those views. Moving outside the gardens that overlook open farmland has been a real passion for the owners for over 25 years, which is a real credit to them with extra land having been purchased in the past giving ample space to entertain and relax. Beyond the broad sun terrace at the rear of the house, the gardens slope away with hedges along the borders. We find an attractive studio or potting shed near the handsome woodshed. Lastly, there is most useful storage in the double garage at the front of the house with ample parking. An early viewing is highly advised for the discerning house hunter
