STEP INSIDE Inside, a series of free-flowing spaces with windows to front and rear unfold over an excess of 5000 sq ft. Upon entering the property, you are greeted by an impressive vaulted reception hall bathed in natural light from splendid double-height dual aspect glazed windows. The vaulted dining hall is highlighted by a magnificent, locally forged wrought iron chandelier and a stunning double-aspect brick chimney breast and fireplace, which gracefully separates it from the kitchen. The bespoke hand-painted Luxmoor & Co. kitchen, complete with an expanse of solid quartz worktops, offers a perfect space for culinary activities. At the heart
of this stunning kitchen is a striking split-level central island, equipped with a wine chiller, 2 large integrated under-counter fridge drawers, discreet pop-up electric sockets and a beautiful, curved solid oak dining area. The electric 4-oven AGA with integrated ceramic hob is complemented by an additional electric Bosch oven and integrated induction hob for the summer months. The kitchen also boasts a fantastic larder, an American-style fridge-freezer, 2 Fisher & Paykel integrated dish drawer dishwashers, a single ceramic cook's sink
and a large ceramic Butler sink, providing both functionality and luxury.

Off from the kitchen/breakfast room is a generous boot room, featuring a lovely informal side entrance to the barn, charming windows onto the courtyard and an array of built-in cupboards, drawers, coat hooks and bench seating. Leading off this stylish room is a cloakroom equipped with hands-free lighting, wash hand basin and WC. Additionally, the utility room houses a ceramic Butler sink and quartz tops, bespoke fitted units and a large cupboard concealing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The elegantly designed open plan dual-aspect drawing room with imposing brick fireplace, oak bressummer and wood burner connects to an internal hallway which leads to an additional wing of the property. Here there is a spacious yet cosy vaulted media room with an impressive bespoke hand-painted TV and storage unit and double French doors granting access to the south-facing terrace. The delightful study, ideal for use as a private office, has fitted shelving and its own independent access to the outside. Further along the hallway, the fourth double bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and views overlooking the front courtyard garden and the fifth double bedroom, also with vaulted ceiling, is currently used as a gym. Completing this wing, a generous vaulted shower room separating the bedrooms, features an oak vanity sink unit, double shower cubicle, WC and Velux window. This wing would lend itself well to guest accommodation or a separate annex.

Upstairs, a striking galleried landing provides breath-taking views of both the charming courtyard garden and the stunning rear garden. As you proceed down the hallway to the east wing you encounter two spacious double bedrooms. Each bedroom is adorned with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of space and character and windows that frame picturesque views of the garden and countryside beyond. These rooms share a well-appointed, vaulted family shower room, equipped with spacious double
shower cubicle, an oak vanity unit and WC. The luxurious vaulted master suite occupies the entire west wing. This elegant space includes a welcoming vestibule area with a wealth of built-in storage. The bedroom is a truly splendid room, boasting spacious, cleverly designed separate dressing and sleeping areas and a wide range of bespoke built-in storage and bedside cabinets. The dual-aspect windows offer delightful views over the pond and farmland to the south and a paddock with grazing horses and the village church to the west.
