Step inside this elegant four bedroom property and you’ll be immediately impressed by the sense of light and space throughout. The open-plan living area seamlessly
connects cooking, dining, and relaxation spaces, with garden views creating a serene backdrop. From the welcoming entrance hall to the lush outdoor spaces,
every element of this home has been carefully curated to offer style, functionality, and a wonderful sense of home.
Originally built in the 1930s and set back from the road, this charming property is accessed via electric wooden gates that lead to a large driveway, offering ample parking along with a double Heritage-style garage. A striking extra large oak front door opens into the hallway, where you’ll find the formal lounge to the right and the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining area, and garden room to the left. The modern oak kitchen has been tastefully designed with granite worktops and high-end features, including a Quooker boiling water tap, wine cooler, two Neff ovens, and an induction hob. A generous central island adds to the excellent storage throughout. The dining area is complete with a stylish window seat built with additional storage
underneath.

The extra wide bespoke external door folds back to reveal a private, secluded patio area—perfect for outdoor relaxation. Adjacent to the main kitchen, the utility room is fitted with matching oak cabinetry and granite worktops, effectively functioning as a secondary kitchen—an ideal feature for entertaining guests. The Garden Room, thoughtfully designed by the current owners, offers a tranquil
space for relaxing during the warmer months, complete with underfloor heating. It also offers versatility as a playroom or additional living space.

There is double glazing with leaded lights throughout the property, along with solid oak flooring in the majority of rooms. The ground floor includes a cloakroom with the
potential to be converted into a wet room, if desired. The separate formal sitting room, often used as a cosy retreat during the winter months, features a Clearview log burner and opens out through French doors onto a York stone terrace—perfect for enjoying the outdoors and for warmer evenings. This side of the property features a useful study/home office for remote working and a fourth bedroom. The two spaces are separated by a stud partition wall, offering excellent flexibility for reconfiguration
or creating a larger room to suit changing needs.

From the entrance hallway, a beautifully crafted oak staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with an ensuite shower room, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The generously sized principal bedroom boasts dual-aspect windows, offering lovely views to the front and breath-taking countryside views to the rear. The guest bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite featuring a shower cubicle, contemporary hand basin, and WC. The spacious family bathroom is fitted with both a bathtub and a separate shower cubicle, along with a solid oak vanity unit with a marble inset basin. The WC is separate and conveniently located next to the bathroom. The loft is easily accessible
via a pull-down ladder and has been fully boarded and insulated, providing excellent additional storage space.

OUTSIDE:- Front -Electric wooden gates open onto a sweeping driveway, offering generous parking for multiple vehicles and creating an impressive sense of arrival.
The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and established shrubs that provide privacy and year-round interest. A double Heritage style garage sits to one side, complete with an electric car charging point for convenience. Adjacent to the garage, a neatly stacked log store adds a rustic charm and practical storage. A wrought iron gate to the front provides easy access to the rear garden. Rear - The expansive, south-facing rear garden is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A large walled patio, laid with traditional York stone flags, offers a wonderful space for hosting gatherings, dining outdoors, or simply unwinding in a peaceful, private setting. Subtle outdoor lighting gently
illuminates the area in the evenings, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The beautifully maintained lawn stretches toward post and rail fencing at the boundary, beyond which graze two horses and two sheep belonging to the
neighbours—adding a picturesque, pastoral charm. The garden enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, with woodlands beyond that burst into a sea of
bluebells in May, marking the change of seasons with natural splendour. A practical outbuilding, fitted with power, provides secure storage for a ride-on mower, while a recently installed large wooden shed offers additional garden storage. Two mature apple trees stand among a variety of established plants and shrubs, lending character and seasonal colour. Toward the far end of the garden lies
the septic tank, discreetly positioned next to a traditional brick-built incinerator—ideal for occasional bonfires.

At the bottom of the garden, a charming patio area with a chiminea provides a perfect spot to take in the countryside views and enjoy serene sunsets. The gently sloping lower lawn offers a blank canvas for further landscaping or gardening projects, ideal for green-fingered enthusiasts. There are 3 wells within the front and rear gardens, the rear one can be accessed to provide additional watering if
required.
