The room is superbly laid out around a centre island with a Falcon range oven, plenty of worktop space and storage which includes a handy larder. The dining area works perfectly for everyday gatherings and for more formal dinner parties. The adjacent sitting room works brilliantly as a TV/movie room and flows through to the generous living room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner. This is a lovely room in which to relax in front of the fire after a long country walk and French doors allow for indoor/ outdoor living in the warmer months.

There is a further sitting room with French doors giving on to the terrace. This could also make a superb study. Stairs lead up to a double bedroom and with the shower room this wing of the house is superbly laid out for hosting guests or could be used as a self-contained living space for an elderly relative or older children. The ground floor also has a handy utility and cloakroom. Upstairs in the main house is the master suite with bedroom, dressing room and en suite shower room.

There is also a garage and car port.

Vendors' thoughts: “One joy of living here is the tranquillity of the surroundings. Often, all you can hear are the sounds of the birds. A hedgehog, who chose to overwinter in one of the borders, was also a highlight!”
