The Dwelling - Occupying a wonderful position amidst rolling countryside, this delightful detached country residence is set within approximately 2.96 acres of gardens and pasture, enjoying a picturesque setting surrounded by mature trees and open farmland. The property offers an appealing combination of character and modern family living, enhanced by a substantial ground floor extension that has created an outstanding open-plan kitchen and dining space overlooking the grounds.

A generous entrance hall creates a welcoming first impression and provides access to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining, whilst the separate dining room offers a more formal setting for family gatherings and special occasions.
A particular feature of the property is the exceptional ground floor extension, which has transformed the dwelling with a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room. Designed as the heart of the home, this light-filled space benefits from extensive glazing and large bi-folding doors that open directly onto the gardens, seamlessly connecting the interior with the surrounding landscape and creating an ideal environment for modern family life and entertaining.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom served by an en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom.
Garden - The property sits within approximately 2.96 acres, comprising gardens together with adjoining pastureland. Mature trees, established shrubs, a traditional apple tree orchard and open lawns create a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst the surrounding countryside provides an attractive backdrop throughout the year.
The land offers excellent opportunities for those seeking a lifestyle property, with space suitable for grazing animals, hobby farming or equestrian pursuits.
Positioned around the courtyard is a range of former stabling, currently utilised as a utility area, study and stores. These buildings provide valuable ancillary accommodation and storage, whilst also offering considerable scope for alternative uses.
