On entering the property via the front porchway or the double doors to the open plan lobby area we are welcomed into the 'hub' of the home, the large, spacious sitting room, which is soaked in the natural light that flows throughout the open plan living space and reflects off the engineered oak floors that line the entire main living areas. A picture window takes in the rolling field views whilst the oil fired stove offers a cosy focal point to the space and conceals the original 'priests hole' which still has a book of service and smock in place. Our feature staircase rises in the centre of the room and we flow open plan to the snug and dining room. The snug has a brick feature wall whilst French doors lead out into the garden. The dining room cleverly provides a formal dining spot that remains a sociable space flowing open plan back to the main living area and the stunning kitchen. The kitchen has been recently refitted with the utmost attention to detail, a vast range of wall and base units are set against perfectly finished quartz work surfaces. An inset sink is set below one of three windows that take in the garden and field vista, whilst a range of fitted appliances include a neff double oven and five burner gas hob. A door opens to a secluded seating area whilst a centre piece of the room is the second oil burning stove. On the opposite side of the property a door opens to the study which offers a versatile space that again enjoys French doors onto the garden, the study opens to the utility room which in-turn leads into the garage/store. Back in the living room a door opens to small lobby area with walk in storage and leading to the ground floor bathroom. Upstairs we find three well proportioned double bedrooms all with charming views over the rolling fields which surround the property. All the rooms have built in wardrobes, offering excellent storage. A door from the landing leads to the Jack & Jill shower room which has been completely refitted with a large corner shower, low level WC, a vanity hand wash basin set over a storage unit. This shower room returns to the master bedroom, which has enjoys a superb view from its dual aspect windows. this completes the accommodation.
