Entering the home, you are immediately greeted with an expansive HALLWAY which features two staircases, handy storage cupboards and provides access to most rooms on the ground floor.

To one end, a generous dining area enjoys direct access through a glazed door onto the terrace. To the other end a fully fitted kitchen with tiled splashbacks and space for an American fridge/freezer. A useful UTILITY ROOM and DOWNSTAIRS CLOAKROOM are discreetly located just off the kitchen giving the home even more practical space.

Centrally positioned behind the welcoming entrance hall, the SITTING ROOM flows effortlessly into a formal DINING ROOM, offering flexibility for both intimate gatherings and larger occasions. Positioned neatly in the heart of the sitting room is a multi-fuel burner with a slate hearth. With two rear aspect windows for the sitting room and double doors to the side this is a lovely light room. The dining room has a window to the rear aspect enjoying wonderful views over the garden.

BEDROOM FOUR is the other room on this level and enjoys delightful views over the gardens, reinforcing the home’s connection to its surroundings.

Two separate staircases, positioned at either end of the house, lead to the first floor where three further bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged.

With dual aspect windows, BEDROOM TWO is light and bright featuring an en-suite shower room, a built-in wardrobe and offers useful eave storage space. BEDROOM THREE is a generous size and offers some stunning countryside views from the double doors and Juliet balcony to the rear of the home.

The garage itself has twin up and-over doors, light and power, and is currently arranged with a workshop area to one side and storage to the other. Just behind the garage is another storage room, perfect for outdoor plants and gardening equipment.

To the front of the house, a formal garden area with grape vines is framed by a beautifully planted bank of herbaceous perennials and shrubs. A raised decked Champagne terrace provides a sublime vantage point for enjoying sunsets.

A sweeping formal lawn wraps around the side and rear, edged with mature herbaceous borders, shrubs and specimen trees.

A paved terrace extends from the kitchen around to the sitting room, creating an exceptional outdoor entertaining space.

In the rear garden there are mature fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, a Rose garden, two greenhouses, an area of hard standing and even a biodiverse pond.
