The family room provides a cosy space for seating and includes an attractive brick fireplace with a wooden mantel and an inset Morso multi-fuel stove. On the opposite side of the hall is the dining room, once more offering flexibility should a purchaser require a hobby/play room or a home office within the property. The main sitting room is dual-aspect and exceptionally spacious, with a set of patio doors opening out to the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light. This comfortable reception space includes a reclaimed oak beam adding some character, a Draycott stone fireplace with a reclaimed elm mantle and a gas-fired Jotul ‘coal effect’ stove.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of American oak fronted floor and wall units and offers an integrated Bosch eye-level electric double oven and a gas hob with an extractor over and integrated fridge. In addition, the kitchen has a breakfast bar, space for a good size table and chairs as well as an external door to the garden and access into the utility room.

There is also an external door to the garden and direct access into the integral garage.

The first floor is finely-proportioned with the accommodation extending over the integral garage, providing a wonderful balance of space. The property benefits from four bedrooms plus an extra room adjoining bedroom four. Ideal as a fifth bedroom, a dressing room or nursery. This additional room also offers scope to be converted into an en-suite bathroom (with dressing area), if desired. One of the main selling points of this fantastic family home is the master bedroom, which has the advantage of an en-suite shower room. Located at the rear of the property, the master bedroom and bedroom two both benefit from built-in storage in the eaves, plus the most magnificent, far-reaching rural views. Backing onto open countryside with a beautiful oak tree neatly in frame, the property is idyllically positioned, with the outlook to match. Completing the first floor accommodation is the well-appointed family bathroom, which comprises a bath with tiling around, a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a separate shower cubicle.
