Description - A delightful home situated at the end of a private drive offering great accommodation for a family in this rural but connected location. The property boasts a mix of period charm and modern finishes, immaculately presented throughout.

A solid oak doorway leads into a welcoming hallway with a quality tiled floor that flows into the kitchen dining area. To the end of the hallway past the stairs is a useful utility and downstairs cloakroom. A large kitchen dining family room offers a modern classic shaker style kitchen with large central breakfast bar dividing the area with wood burning stove centrally located. A great social space for the modern family. Through the kitchen is a good sized study for those who will be working from home with great storage and the ability to shut the door at the end of the working day. On the other side of the hallway is the large lounge with cosy wood burning stove for those family evenings. This in turn leads into a useful conservatory which opens into the immediate garden area.

Upstairs the house boasts four good sized bedrooms, immaculately presented and beautifully decorated as is the whole house. Three doubles give options for main bedroom and guests areas and a good sized single room could be considered a tighter double room. A central bathroom looks after the family with bath and shower over to accommodate all.

Externally the property has so much going for it a visit is needed to truly appreciate what it has to offer and the feeling of space in its rural location. Whilst immediately surrounding the house is a more formal garden with picket fences, topiary and mature beds. An extensive paddock runs away from the house that could be used to accommodate animals as it has done so previously and outbuilding would offer options here. A potential annexe is also an option with good space between it and the main house for privacy and independence. A lake with deck could be further developed for those into fish or just to relax around with a fire pit late into the evening. If self grown produce is your thing then the world is your oyster.
