A beautiful home finished to a high standard with outbuildings all set in 4.2 acres (1.73 ha) OTA or thereabouts. We are in love with this home, finished to a superb standard by the current vendors creating an incredible spacious home, the perfect place to land after a busy week.

There are fabulous external areas around the property including a spacious driveway with a turning circle, extensive gardens to the rear with a large patio, fabulous covered seating area and a paddock beyond the gardens. A super outbuilding is included giving the property great flexibility and beyond is a well-equipped games room and gym. This home is ideal for those who simply wish to live in the countryside or are looking for properties with an outbuilding, perhaps to work from home or those with equestrian / agricultural interests. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality, care and consideration that the vendors have incorporated into the remodelling of this property.

The pillared entrance opens onto an expansive gravelled driveway with a turning circle and plenty of space for parking. It is spacious ahead of the front of the property. An open porch frames the front door and a part glazed door opens into the entrance hall, from here you can see the property oozes quality. There is a staircase which rises up to a galleried landing on the first floor which overlooks the entrance hall and herringbone karndean floor along with the panelled walls giving the property a characterful feel.

The lounge is a spacious room which has views out to the front of the property and windows out to the side ensuring that this room has plenty of natural light. This lovely room also has part panelled effect walls and an open fire set in an attractive surround proving a warming focal point.

The cabinetry in the living kitchen space was completed by Thomas James kitchens and includes a quartz work surface. A range of integrated appliances include two ovens, a microwave, a wine cooler, a gas hob with an extractor which is set in a fabulous feature within the wall. A porcelain sink is also provided. The central island incorporates a breakfast bar to one end, making this a highly sociable space.

A gravelled driveway leads through to a further outbuilding which has partly been used for the vendors business, but could be altered to suit the purchaser subject to gaining any necessary consents.

In the various outbuildings the vendors again have created a bar area which again has the panel effect walls and sliding doors which open out to the garden space. Beyond here is a home gym which has patio doors to the side as well as an office, and WC.
