The front door opens into a porch which leads into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, featuring a log burner and offering ample space for entertaining. The kitchen has been finished in a farmhouse style in keeping with the property’s character and a central island provides practical additional preparation space. A door from the kitchen leads into a generous drawing room with a wood burner and two sets of French doors that open out into the garden which aid in flooding the room with natural light. The drawing room flows into a sitting room with a double door that opens out onto a vine-covered patio. The downstairs accommodation also includes a separate utility room, a cloakroom off the kitchen and a boot room off the drawing room with a door leading out into the garden. The first floor continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms served by a modern family shower room. The sizable principal bedroom boasts built-in wardrobes and a beautifully finished ensuite with a separate shower and copper roll-top bath. A further double bedroom can be found on the second floor which boasts ample built-in storage and stunning rural views. A lovely cottage garden wraps around the property with the front garden including a lawn surrounded by mature borders and a patio with a vine-covered arbour to the side of the house offering the ideal space for al fresco dining; a summer house has also been tucked away in a secluded corner of the garden offering the ideal space to curl up with a book. Ample gated off-road driveway parking can be found to the side of the property along with a carport. The low maintenance private enclosed rear garden has been hardscaped and is currently being utilised as a children’s play area and additional patio space.
