The whole offering a home ideal for multigenerational living or an expanding family, the property is surrounded by far-reaching countryside views.

At the heart of the home is the light filled, dual-aspect kitchen/dining room; fitted with a range of bespoke cabinetry and integrated appliances as well as a central breakfast bar, with the dining area creating an ideal spot for family entertaining with French doors opening to the gardens. The sitting room is fitted with a wood-burning stove and offers ample space for the family to gather. Steps down from the kitchen lead to a utility room with plenty of storage space and open-pantry shelving, providing further access to a cloakroom as well as the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, walk-in wardrobe as well as access to outside with views across the gardens and beyond. This room could also be used as a further reception room if required.

Annexe
Adjoining the main house, there is a spacious, light annexe currently with independent access, comprising a sitting/dining room, adjacent kitchen/breakfast room, a bedroom with an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, utility room and cloakroom. A dividing wall between the main hall of the house, and sitting room in the annexe would allow for a doorway to be reinstated in order to bring the annexe back into the main footprint of the house.
