Substantial detached 5 bedroom period house enjoying a splendid quiet lane setting affording far reaching countryside views.


Understood to have origins dating back to the mid 19th century and much improved and sympathetically extended in more recent years, this outstanding home offers particularly flexible living accommodation with bedrooms on both ground and first floor complemented by spacious reception rooms and charming gardens providing the occupants with an excellent degree of privacy. This ideal family home offers a successful combination of period charm and character coupled with modern day living standards with features including air source heat pump heating, together with modern bathrooms and impressive "live in" kitchen/breakfast/family room.

The light and airy accommodation currently in brief comprises an entrance porch opening to a reception hall with fireplace. Stairs lead off to first floor and a door to cloakroom. The superb "live in" kitchen/breakfast/family room is an ideal space for entertaining and a room which can be used all year round, including a well equipped kitchen with range cooker and island.
