The entrance porch opens to a multi-aspect sitting room with a staircase to the first floor and a brick-built feature fireplace with log burning stove, mirrored in the adjacent kitchen/breakfast room. This bright space enjoys ample room for dining and a range of neutral contemporary cabinetry, worksurfaces, a breakfast bar and appliances including a two-oven range cooker.

French doors flow naturally through into the west-facing conservatory with its panoramic garden vistas. Further is the 29 ft. family room with its walk-in bay window, unique feature fireplace and wide sliding doors to the rear terrace. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed utility room and a hallway opening to a trio of versatile bedrooms of which the middle may lend itself to a study, and a modern shower room.

The first floor is home to two large bedrooms with views over the gardens, with the principal benefitting from a wall of bespoke built-in wardrobes. There is a further single bedroom to the front.

These are well served by a family bathroom, complete with a separate freestanding luxury bathtub and walk-in shower. This then links to a spacious reduced height room with its versatility allowing for use as a dressing room or study. A further loft storeroom is also located on this floor.

The property is approached via a quiet country lane which gives access to a section of gravelled driveway beside the home and an electrically connected double garage block alongside.

The west-facing garden flows around the rear of the property, bordered by the surrounding open fields and is enclosed via a wealth of mature hedge lines and tall trees. Largely laid to level lawn, it also features characteristic low stone walls and a raised sun terrace beside the conservatory, providing the ideal space to dine al fresco in the warmer months.
