Find Out A Little More .... - The entire ground floor is laid throughout with elegant oak parquet flooring, perfectly complementing the array of exposed beams, cottage doors, detailed architraves, rustic brickwork, and a traditional timber staircase.

A central front hall provides access to the sitting and dining rooms. The sitting room, a cosy retreat adjacent to the kitchen, enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and features an open-grate fireplace as its welcoming focal point. The double-aspect dining room extends to some 24 ft and showcases an inglenook fireplace with recessed nooks framed by aged beams, housing a wood-burning stove set on traditional stone flags.

The kitchen/breakfast room, also spanning the depth of the house, connects conveniently to the rear hall and is bathed in natural light from south- and west-facing windows on three sides. There is ample room for a family dining table and a relaxed seating area before a further log-burning stove set within a brick fireplace. The attractive country-style kitchen is fitted with solid wood cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances, a range cooker, and a Butler sink, and is enhanced by recessed downlighting.

The cellar is accessed via a hatch and a stone staircase and has natural light through a window.

The central staircase rises to a galleried landing, open to the top floor, where there is a dressing room and a walk-in airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. The home’s four characterful bedrooms are arranged over the two upper floors. The principal suite occupies the entire second floor and features a vaulted ceiling with skylights and extensive eaves storage. Its luxurious bathroom is on an impressive scale, complete with a freestanding copper bath, a walk-in rain shower, double vanity unit, concealed wc, and a generous walk-in storage cupboard. The three remaining bedrooms, all generous in size and full of character, are located on the first floor. Each benefits from an en suite bathroom, and each is south facing, with Bedroom 2 illuminated by natural light on three sides.

Outside - The house is attractively set back from the country lane behind a wide grass verge (belonging to the property) and elegant railings that enclose a formal front garden. A gravel path bordered with lavender leads invitingly to the front door. The gravel driveway passes through a metal gate and sweeps through to a generous parking and turning area behind the house, adjoining a range of attractive stone outbuildings.

The principal two-storey outbuilding (approximately 578 sq ft) has been sympathetically repointed and re-roofed in slate. It incorporates a double garage with a fully boarded room above, accessed via an external staircase, and is ready to be converted into a home office or studio. Forming the north-west boundary, a single-storey stone outbuilding with solar panels houses three practical garden stores. Additional outbuildings include a workshop (formerly the stables) which has recently had a new pantile roof fitted and also features solar panels, and a cart shed offering further scope for development.

At the rear of the house lies a walled courtyard garden, perfectly secure for children and pets. A wrought-iron gate opens into the main rear garden, which is laid to lawn and beautifully landscaped with raised perimeter beds brimming with colourful perennials. An extensive west-facing terrace enjoys afternoon and evening sun, centred around a traditional covered well. Beyond, the family garden extends southwest to a broad expanse of grass, ideal for recreation and family play. It is fully enclosed, partly walled and partly fenced with post-and-rail to allow open views across the surrounding grazing pastures. In one corner lie three generous vegetable beds and a dedicated cut-flower garden, as well as a paved corner suitable for the erection of a greenhouse.
