A door to the other side of the entrance hall gives access to the dining room, also with a door to the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, and provides access to under-stair storage. Off this is a fully-tiled en suite family shower/wet room and a door to a triple aspect rear porch to with a door to the parking area and sizeable outbuilding.

On the first floor the property offers a front aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage, an additional part-vaulted dual aspect double bedroom and a w.c..

The property is approached through a six bar gate over a driveway leading past the house to an area of hardstanding to the rear. This provides extensive private parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to a vaulted brick-built outbuilding comprising inter-connecting garage, workshop and store rooms and benefitting from an attached rear lean to, the whole suitable for a variety of uses.

The property also benefits from a detached timber barn with an attached open-sided store. The generous garden lies predominantly to the front and side of the property. It is laid to lawn, bordered by hedging and stock-fencing, and offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create an ideal space for entertaining and al fresco dining, maximising the stunning views over farmland to front and rear and rolling countryside beyond.
