The main residence is full of character and warmth and comprises of 3 bedrooms altogether. The entrance hall, with tiled flooring and built-in storage, leads to a ground floor shower room and a practical utility area. The sitting room, complete with an ornamental stone fireplace and exposed stone wall, is a wonderfully light and inviting space, thanks to French doors opening onto a decked terrace and the garden beyond. The adjoining dining room features a period fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while terracotta tiled floors and wooden worktops add rustic charm. This space opens into a well-equipped country-style kitchen/breakfast room with cream cabinetry, wood-effect surfaces, integrated appliances, and a central peninsula separating the two areas. A concealed staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing leads to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a thoughtfully appointed bathroom with a wood-panelled bath and traditional fittings.

Connected to the main house yet also independently accessible, the single-storey annexe provides a private living space ideal for guests or extended family. This light-filled, double-aspect living room and kitchen area is fitted with units and includes integrated appliances. The bedroom offers ample storage, and the en-suite shower room is attractively tiled and well-appointed.

The two-storey cottage wing is a charming self-contained annexe with its own entrance, offering complete independence. On the ground floor, the entrance hall houses the oil-fired central heating boiler and overhead clothes airer, while the bathroom includes both handheld and overhead showers. The sitting/dining room is a true period gem, with an Inglenook fireplace, quarry tiled floors, exposed beams and brickwork, and original features. A second kitchen is well-fitted with appliances and wood-effect work surfaces, providing everything needed for a fully independent living space. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, complete this delightful cottage-style annexe.

Outside, the grounds are as impressive as the interiors.
