Hazeldene has the character which comes with the age of a period property, yet it lacks for nothing when considering present day creature comforts. New double glazing was installed in the autumn of 2009 and the property is warmed throughout by gas central heating. This is supplied by a Rayburn range located in the dining kitchen - you can toast your toes and your breakfast at the same time! It is a real feature of the room. There are two lovely reception rooms, both with original 'Adam' style marble fireplaces and real open fires. The rooms offer period decorative features such as plaster covings and picture rails. The rear living room enjoys direct access to the garden via french windows. A spacious breakfast/dining kitchen has attractive fitted units in a vintage style and of course the Rayburn range cooker. An inner hallaway give access to a separate ground floor wc and to a large utility room extension. It is fitted with a range of cupboards, worktop space and a recessed 'Belfast' sink. It could easily make an excellent home office, studio or hobby room. There are three bedrooms on the first floor and they are served by a stylish and very spacious bathroom featuring Heritage sanitaryware and accessories including a roll-top bath on ball/claw feet and a walk-in 'wave' shower with glazed splash screens. The double sized fourth bedroom is on the second floor. The property enjoys mature front and rear gardens. the driveway accommodates two cars. A south facing rear garden is a real advantage. It has a private flagged and decked lower level patio, rockery sections and upper level grassed areas plus a timber summerhouse. Beyond the rear garden is natural woodland.
