Hillside Close, Ragdale

Internally, the property was constructed to a high specification. Presented in very good order throughout and laid over two floors, expect to find no less than five reception rooms, including a dining room, a family room, a sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a study. A spacious entrance hall provides access to a downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. There is also a useful utility room with direct access outside to the rear.

Upstairs, the light landing leads to four double bedrooms. There is plentiful built-in storage, including generous wardrobes in all four bedrooms. There is a large family bathroom and an en-suite in the main bedroom. There is also an airing cupboard. Two of the bedrooms benefit from air conditioning.

Built as one of five bespoke family homes around 1998, the property has been loved by the current owners from new. A private shared driveway leads in turn to each house, and a private block paved driveway to the front of the property provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. There is a large double garage with electrically operable up and over doors and a courtyard to the side, ideal for a fuel store.

To the rear are beautiful lawned gardens with a wrap-around terrace to the immediate rear of the main house, giving superb views across privately owned paddocks and open countryside beyond. The paddocks are owned by three properties, and this property boasts the middle paddock that has been mowed to lawn for over 20 years. To the rear of the paddock area is a fenced wildlife habitat. Leading down to a stream, the current owners witness beautiful wildlife daily, including Muntjac.
