The property welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall featuring a striking roof lantern and a built-in coat and boot cupboard.

This space connects to a large ground-floor double bedroom, which in turn leads into a cosy snug or dressing room with French doors opening out to the rear garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout these rooms, offering consistent warmth and comfort.

A stylish ground floor bathroom includes a bath and a dual shower enclosure. The modern kitchen/breakfast room boasts ample storage, a boiling water tap, integrated appliances, and a stable door to the side garden. It flows seamlessly into the dining room, which features a charming log burner. A west-facing sunroom, bathed in natural light from its triple aspect and with French doors to the garden, offers a bright and inviting space — also enhanced by underfloor heating for year-round enjoyment. The laundry room, accessible from both the hallway and kitchen, includes a WC, sink, plumbing for white goods, and an airing cupboard.

Stairs from the hallway lead to a light-filled, spacious first-floor landing with built-in storage. The principal suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite bathroom complete with an electric mirror featuring Bluetooth connectivity. Three further double bedrooms are also found on this floor, served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a panelled bath and drench shower head.

Outside, the property offers several highly versatile outbuildings. These include a detached home office with a kitchenette and cloakroom — perfect for business use or holiday rentals. A detached garage provides parking and storage, while a double carport is attached to a workshop equipped with power, lighting, running water, and secure storage. A substantial barn with vehicular access via an electric roller shutter, along with three-phase electric and an additional storeroom, offers extensive storage and workspace potential.

The plot offers in excess of an acre, featuring a grazing paddock with a secure fenced boundary, making it suitable for various uses, and the wrap-around garden is mostly laid to lawn, with patio areas, a secure play area, a summer house, and a garden shed. This home offers a unique combination of spacious living, modern amenities, and versatile outbuildings in a beautiful rural setting, perfect for both family life and business opportunities.
