The first thing you notice when you step into this house, is the abundance of
natural light. The house exudes warmth and a welcoming feel. From the

diner_ and huge _sitting room_ which leads to a large _conservatory_ at the
back of the property. There is a spacious area in the _entrance hall_ where
the stairs take you to the first floor, it’s perfect for additional storage or

As you walk around Mermaid Spinney, there is constant overwhelming sense of
calm and tranquillity. Set away from the bustling towns, it is clear to see
why the current owners loved living here. Due to the cheerful decor and large
double glazed seventies style windows, the rooms are flooded with natural
light throughout, even on a dark, gloomy day.
The downstairs offers versatile living. The large _sitting room_ is another
great feature, providing ample space for relaxation and entertaining. The fact
that it leads to the _conservatory_ is also a plus, as it allows for easy
indooroutdoor flow and access to the garden. The sliding doors to the _open
plan kitchen diner_ divide the sitting room and _kitchen diner_ They allow the
rooms to become completely open plan, something the current owners say is
fantastic when hosting family gatherings and parties. There is a large open
fire with modern surround, perfect for cold wintry days to snuggle around or
to enjoy after a wonderful countryside walk.
The open plan _kitchen diner_ has all the mod cons you would expect. It is
clear to see that this room is the hub of the home and a desirable feature. It
allows easy entertaining and family gatherings, whilst enjoying views over the
private garden. For those wishing to, there is ample space to add a kitchen
island and breakfast bar and if you wanted to maximise the views over the
garden, there is potential to add bifold doors. There is a door in the kitchen
which the Owner advised was one of the big selling points to her. This door
leads to a huge _utility / laundry room_ which is completely unexpected and
could easily be incorporated into the current kitchen or, kept and used
independently should you wish to use it as a _separate annexe_ or guest
accommodation. It has a sink and a full wall of base and wall units. This
utility / laundry room has its own separate entrance from the front of the
house and also patio doors out to the rear garden, there is also a further
room, currently used as a _guest double bedroom_ but was once an office. This
room could be used in many different ways, including a family room or
playroom.
The upstairs has a spacious landing, filled with natural light and offers
_four good sized bedrooms_ with access to a recently _refitted bathroom_ into
a stunning _family wet room_ This room could easily be reconfigured to
accomdate a bath if required. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room
and one of the bedrooms has fitted wardrobes. The second largest room is
currently being used as a _study_ and is fully fitted with cabinetry and desk.
The _rear garden_ is very well maintained, it is bright and not overlooked.
Being mainly laid to lawn, with a fantastic sized patio, a large shed and lots
of additional space down the side of the property which could be used as for
further storage, or to create a recessed parking space for a caravan or
trailer, accessed from the front driveway. There is only the sound of bird
song in this quiet garden and the current owners suggested that any potential
buyer should consider adding a further small patio or decked area at the
bottom of the garden to enable them to enjoy the sun all day. Something they
had always planned but never got around to doing themselves. There are
beautiful, neat borders fringing the garden and interspersed with charming
placement of cherry trees on the lawn which the current owners boast are an
absolute delight once the blossom pops into a bright crimson.

_Viewing arrangements_
By appointment only. Call or text during or after office hours.
_Remote viewing tour: _
Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the
right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated,
juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if
moving into a new area and travelling some distance.
_Booking a Remote Viewing Tour_ puts you firmly in control. Arrange a day and
time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my
client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you
around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick
or as long as you like, making sure you have a good luck round, focussing on
the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to
arrange a normal viewing at a later date.
