From the dining hallway the open staircase rises to the first floor accommodation, comprising of four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the 19'0 x 14'0 master bedroom worthy of particular mention with its super space and gorgeous views over the garden. The master bedroom has a handy shower room located next to it off the first floor landing whilst the other three bedrooms share use of a well sized family bathroom. Within several bedrooms are fitted wardrobes with sliding doors and off the landing there is access to a large area of undercroft storage and the airing cupboard.

Outside, the incredibly special setting of 'Russets' becomes even more apparent, with the property surrounded on all sides by approx 3/4 acre garden. To the rear and side of the house glorious lush lawns stretch up towards the ancient woodland that hugs the rear of Rickford Rise. Within the garden several mature specimen trees dot the landscape whilst a carefully landscaped sitting area has been carved out of the hillside to provide a beautiful al fresco dining space with a rockery borders and an abundance of flora and fauna. There are several further seating areas from which to enjoy the serene setting and marvel at the majestic views.  The tranquillity, privacy and majesty of the gardens are an incredibly rare find indeed and should certainly be seen to be fully appreciated.
