Accommodation - The ground floor offers a wealth of living spaces, all designed with sociable family living in mind and all connecting directly to the extensive gardens that surround the property.
The family dining kitchen is the perfect space for families to gather; finished in rustic farmhouse style complete with a multi fuel stove, this room offers space for every day dining as well as informal lounging. The connecting conservatory enjoys a peaceful aspect towards the entrance of the property and connects to an external paved patio currently housing a hot tub. Off the reception hall and commanding a view over the gardens to the rear, the lounge is a particularly pleasing room of luxurious proportions; windows to two sides, French doors to the garden and a feature open fireplace. One of the four bedrooms lie on the ground floor; this restful double room is next door to the well-appointed shower room – a great arrangement for guests or extended family.
Making the very best of the setting and surroundings, the first floor sitting room opens on to an impressive balcony commanding countryside views as far as the eye can see. The three bedrooms on this level are all bright and airy double bedrooms, each boasting a slightly different but equally impressive outlook. The luxurious family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation, finished with a free standing roll top bath, this room also serves as a jack and jill en-suite facility for the largest of the bedrooms.

Mainly laid to grass, the gardens are a haven for local wildlife and present an enviable environment for young family or those keen on gardening with ample opportunity for further landscaping if desired. Arranged into two distinct areas, separated by picket fencing, the lower section of garden is bound by a wooded copse which creates a lovely backdrop.
The main gated driveway extends to a detached double garage and provides multi car parking. A secondary driveway, which is rarely used by the current owner gives useful, dedicated access to the bottom section of the garden where there is a former double timber garage, now providing excellent storage
Due to the option of dedicated separate access to the lower section of garden, this could present opportunities for further development/building within this section or it could be used in some way to create an income stream - holiday lodges or the likes perhaps - all subject to permissions. .
