3 Bedroom Detached Cottage, Bowers, Standon, ST21

Ivy House is situated on the edge of the ever popular village of Standon Bowers which offers the perfect balance of rural living with a great local community life and access to the larger surrounding towns and villages. All Saints Standon primary school is within walking distance.

The property has beautiful gardens that wrap around two sides which add enormously to the charm of this much loved family home. A path from the garden gate leads to the front door which opens into an Entrance Hall from where there are doors off to two reception rooms. The Lounge is currently used as a more formal reception room and has french doors opening out to the garden and a fireplace with a logburning stove. The Sitting Room is lit by windows to both the front and the rear of the property and is equally well appointed with a log burning stove and a door which opens into the adjoining Kitchen. A door from the Sitting opens to a store cupboard from where there are steps down to the cellar.

With fitted units to two walls, the Kitchen is located at the centre of the house and has a pair of double doors which open directly into the conservatory which is comfortably large enough to accommodate a dining table. The conservatory faces east and so catches the morning sun at the same time as allowing the views of the garden to be enjoyed at all times of the year. Beyond the Kitchen there is a very useful hallway with a utility room and guest cloakroom off. Double doors from the hallway open to the third reception room which is lovely light room with french doors openings out to a patio which catches the sun all day.

Stairs rise from the Entrance Hall to the first floor landing from where there are doors off to three good sized bedrooms and the main bathroom. The master bedroom is a lovely bright room with windows to two aspects and an adjoining En Suite Shower Room.

There are beautiful mature gardens which have been carefully laid out to provide areas of mature planting which provide a great deal of privacy from the neighbouring properties. From the bottom of the garden there are open views of of the surrounding farmland and plenty of parking on the driveway which is accessed by way of a shared drive to the rear of the property. A large brick built garage is currently being used as a workshop/ store but would suit a variety of other uses subject to planning permission.

Drainage is to a septic tank which is shared by a neighbouring property. Domestic hot water and heating is provided by an LPG fired boiler.
