A large, bright dining room with far reaching rural views enjoys twin sets of doors leading out to the garden terrace, while the spacious sitting room combines a cosy TV snug with an open fireplace, a more formal seating area, and French doors to a second terrace. From the original hallway, a study/family room provides further flexibility, with stairs rising to the first floor.

Upstairs, the impressive master suite features a large en suite shower room and French doors opening onto a wide balcony with panoramic views over the countryside. There are three further double bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom.

Outside

The property is approached via a gravel driveway offering ample parking and access to a double garage. Beside the driveway sits newly refurbished outdoor office complete with hardwood flooring, contemporary lights and power. Adjacent to this is a second outbuilding with power and lighting currently being used as a shed, offering versatility for a gym/ games room/ office.

The gardens are a true highlight, mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked beds, mature shrubs, and a variety of fruit trees including apple, mulberry and cherry. A wide, raised terrace provides the perfect spot to entertain or simply relax and take in the breathtaking views.

Hidden in the grounds is an impressive treehouse and newly laid wood chip children’s play area.
