The House
Approached via a private driveway, the property sits within generous gardens enjoying attractive views over the surrounding countryside.
A welcoming entrance hall leads into the principal reception rooms, creating a natural flow throughout the ground floor. The kitchen/breakfast room is a bright and sociable space with country-style cabinetry, exposed beams and ample room for family dining, complemented by a separate utility room.
The living room is particularly impressive, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and enjoying a wealth of character through exposed timbers and a charming bay window overlooking the grounds.
From here, the accommodation continues into a formal dining room with French doors opening onto the garden, while an adjoining study provides an ideal work-from-home space. A further vestibule with an additional wood-burning stove offers a cosy secondary reception area and gives access to the cloakroom and outside.
A substantial dry cellar provides excellent storage and further practical space.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom, together with a contemporary family shower room.
The second floor provides two further spacious attic rooms with excellent head height, offering flexible accommodation for family members, guests, hobbies or home office use.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with established planting and ample parking for several vehicles.
For buyers seeking additional land, approximately three acres of adjoining paddocks can be included within the purchase. The paddocks provide excellent potential for equestrian or lifestyle use.
