A pretty shiplap fence encloses the front garden where a pathway leads to the properties front door. Entering the reception hallway there is a handy cloak cupboard to the right hand side and a superb engineered Oak floor that flows through the hallway and into the kitchen/dining/family room at the end of the corridor. 

To the ground floor there are a good number of adaptable rooms, perfect for a good sized family, these include a study that looks out to the front of the property, and a cosy lounge with a wood-burner and French doors that lead out to the rear garden. Adjacent to the lounge is a generous sitting room which could also be utilised as a formal dining room or even a wonderful play/T.V room for the kids, and there is also a utility room with a useful downstairs cloakroom. It is however the amazing dual aspect kitchen/dining/family room that creates the most incredible heart of the home for the family to congregate. This spacious open plan room features a fitted kitchen to one end with a large central island unit and provision for a 'Rangemaster' style cooker, as well as space for an 'American Style' fridge/freezer. The rest of the room is taken up with a soft seating area and plenty of room for a good-sized dining table, with stairs rising to the first floor in the corner. To the side elevation is a bank of floor to ceiling windows that quite literally bring the outside in, central to the windows are a pair of French doors that lead out to a fabulous al-fresco dining terrace which is enclosed by a contemporary dwarf wall. 

Moving up to the first floor, all four double bedrooms and the family bathroom are arranged off the first floor landing, these include two superb bedrooms to the gable end which enjoy vaulted ceilings and superb windows that reach the apex of the ceiling and a glorious outlook over the garden. The third/Guest room is another good-sized double bedroom with feature beams and a smart en-suite shower room. Completing the bedroom accommodation is a luxurious and spacious master bedroom with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, light and airy dual aspect, with a chic en-suite shower room. Lastly, the family bathroom is like every other room in the house, smartly presented and finished in neutral tones with quality fixtures and fittings.

Outside, the wonderful garden wraps around the house on three sides with the main area of lawn being located off the kitchen/dining/living room and enjoying excellent privacy. This area of garden is mainly laid to a level lawn with a large patio area flanking the house. To one side of the garden there is a pathway leading down to a pretty stream where a footbridge leads across to a further area of wild woodland. From the Woodland area there are uninterrupted rural views across the surrounding countryside.
