Premium features can be found throughout, including an AGA in the kitchen, wood flooring in the reception rooms and oak doors, which are complemented by a handsome matching staircase.

The house is entered onto an inviting vaulted entrance hall – with useful storage cupboards and a cloakroom with WC – which leads to a formal reception room, a study that’s perfect for working from home, a formal dining room with built-in cabinets and a cosy play room. There’s also access to the vast open plan kitchen, dining and family room, which serves as the heart of this home.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a fitted dressing room and two en suites – one with a bath, one with a shower – while there are two further en suite bedrooms ideal for guests or older children. In total there are six double bedrooms and six bath/shower rooms, and there’s a useful first floor laundry room too.

Outside
Greenfields is approached over a gated gravel driveway accessed via intercom, which provides secure, private parking for a number of vehicles. There is an integrated double garage with an internal door to the house. The front garden provides a welcoming first impression, its manicured lawn enclosed by mature hedging providing a high degree of privacy, though most of the outside space is situated to the rear where there is a wonderfully secluded garden that has been landscaped to include a variety of areas for entertaining. A terrace, including a covered seating area, spans the rear of the house, and there is a separate dining area under a pergola over which there is an abundant climber affording natural shade. The extensive lawns are complemented by flowerbeds and there is a vegetable plot with raised planters. A sheltered space at the rear provides an additional area for dining and captures the evening sun.
