reception hall creating an ideal entertaining space. The house is decorated in neutral tones throughout creating a light and spacious feel. The kitchen/dining room links through to the large family room and this combines to make a fabulous family living space ideal for today's modern lifestyle. The kitchen is well fitted with painted wooden cabinets and an electric Aga, and there is a charming fireplace with woodburning stove at the dining room end. The drawing room has an attractive open fireplace and large windows overlooking the garden. There is also a generous sized study with an Art Deco style, part-glazed wall. Upstairs a wide landing area is filled with natural light, off which there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, all good-sized and with a charming outlook across the gardens. In the family bathroom there is a sauna, currently used for storage but which could be reinstated if required. A door from the landing opens onto a balcony that runs along the front of the house. A spiral staircase leads up to a wonderful additional living space, currently used as a playroom/family room overflow accommodation.

The house is approached from the lane across a sweeping gravel drive. The beautiful gardens surround the house with a formal lawn at the front and a more intimate garden area to the rear and side of the house. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees, hedges and shrubs. There is a timber framed car port with space for 2 cars, and plenty of additional parking. There are also two very useful garden stores, originally stables.
