The drawing room is a quiet retreat with an oak floor, beautifully decorated and dressed with a woodburning stove for the colder months whilst across the hallway is the dining room, again an elegant family space with oak flooring. 

Through to the rear of the house, the bespoke fitted kitchen with beautiful cabinetry has granite worksurfaces and is very in keeping with the period features of the entire property and overlooks the pretty courtyard with gardens beyond.  Towards the end of the kitchen is a bright and airy open family breakfast space in turn leading to a gorgeous snug - the perfect space in which to unwind after a busy day in the gardens.  An internal door from the snug conveniently links the main house to the adjacent cottage.  A separate staircase leads from the snug to a guest suite above, you'll find two pretty bedrooms, one with timber vaulted ceiling and an ensuite.

The entrance hall to the main house has access to a downstairs cloakroom and a study which in turn has a door into a large utility room, this space could be also perfectly used as a garden room with current planning in place for two large ceiling windows to be installed, a pedestrian door leads to the rear courtyard and beyond to the gardens.

The pretty original staircase from the entrance hallway gives access to the first floor where you'll find four double bedrooms all leading from the light filled landing with space for treasured furniture pieces.  On then through to the large and beautifully presented family bathroom.  There is a separate W.C. next to the family bathroom.

Next door, the attached cottage hugely benefits from a private front door and also has a rear door opening through to an area of level garden.  Once inside, the kitchen and dining room flow through to the living room overlooking  the rear gardens.  Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor where the open landing space could easily be used as a bedroom with a door through to another double bedroom, the bathroom for the cottage is to the right of the landing.

Once outside, the attractive front gardens are laid to lawn with deep borders of mature shrubs and hedging making for privacy along the boundary.  The garden gate opens through to the gardens and onwards towards the front door.

To the rear, ample parking is accessed via high timber double gates between private stone walling to the side lane and onwards to the rear of the property, this access is via Currells Lane.  The formal gardens sit to the rear of the house with areas of paving and established planting, the perfect place to sit, rewind and enjoy alfresco dining in the privacy of the attractive lawns with a central pond.  A timber store and stable offer storage and space to park a car undercover.

A gate from the gravelled driveway to the rear of the house leads through to the wonderful level area of paddock of circa 5 acres which includes field shelters.  The natural boundary of this fantastic piece of land detailing the many varied uses that a new owner could find for the grounds, 800 saplings having been planted within the last few years which will no doubt create a perfect woodland over time.
