The property is entered via a welcoming porch, leading to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. A standout feature is the characterful family room with inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, complemented by a formal sitting room, dining room and a versatile study/playroom—perfect for home working or growing families.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the hub of the home, fitted in a traditional country style with ample storage, space for a range cooker and Aga, and enjoying attractive views over the rear garden. A separate utility room and cloakroom add everyday practicality.

Upstairs, five generous double bedrooms are arranged off a spacious landing. The principal suite benefits from an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, while a second bedroom also enjoys en suite facilities. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

To the rear, the gardens are generous and predominantly laid to lawn, offering a high degree of privacy. A swimming pool and pool house present excellent potential for refurbishment and value enhancement.

A large paved terrace creates an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The detached double garage includes a WC and staircase leading to a self-contained studio annexe with bathroom and independent access—perfect for guests, Airbnb potential, or a dedicated home office.
