Accommodation

Entered via a central hallway, the property showcases original oak flooring that flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining room and spacious sitting room. The garden-facing sitting room, centred around a wood burning stove, enjoys a tranquil outlook, while a further door leads to an inner hallway serving three bedrooms and a separate shower room.

The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an en-suite shower room with a double shower. A generously proportioned, extensively glazed garden room opens via patio doors onto the grounds, offering elevated views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

The kitchen and adjoining dining area present excellent potential to be combined into a large, open-plan living kitchen, if desired. The kitchen itself is fitted in a contemporary style, with integrated appliances, ample space for dining, and direct garden access. A further double bedroom, a separate study, and a family bathroom with a four-piece suite complete the accommodation.

Outside

The property stands within mature grounds extending to approximately 0.73 acres in total. Backing onto open fields, the rear garden enjoys a favourable south-easterly aspect, with a small spinney positioned close to the rear boundary. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden gently slopes away from the house and provides a wonderful sense of space and seclusion. Within the grounds sits a substantial brick outbuilding offering further potential.

Brick Outbuilding

Located within the rear garden, the brick outbuilding currently comprises three rooms, a covered patio area, and a gardener’s WC. This highly versatile space offers excellent potential for use as a studio, home office, or possible self-contained annexe, subject to the relevant planning consents.

Services

Mains water, gas and electricity are connected. The property has a private drainage system connected to a septic tank and majority uPVC double glazing.

The property has a ScubaTANK® which is a fully WRAS-approved booster set and tank system and maximises water storage within a minimal footprint. Pumps are installed inside the insulated tank, resulting in extremely quiet operation.
