Step inside and you'll immediately feel the warmth and character that flows throughout the home. The impressive double-height entrance hall creates a striking first impression, with exposed brickwork, feature windows and a beautiful staircase drawing your eye upwards. Light pours in from every angle, creating a welcoming space that feels both grand and inviting.

The main living room is a room designed for every season. Generous in size yet wonderfully cosy, it centres around a charming brick fireplace complete with wood-burning stove. Picture winter evenings spent beside the fire, whilst large windows frame ever-changing views of the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.

Offering an abundance of worktop space, traditional cabinetry and room for large gatherings, it's perfectly suited to everything from busy weekday breakfasts to festive celebrations with family and friends. Flowing seamlessly from here is the stunning sun room; a tranquil space bathed in natural light, where sliding doors open onto the gardens and skylights draw the outdoors in.

Flexibility is woven throughout the property. A further reception room currently serves as a home office but could easily become a fourth bedroom, playroom or snug depending on your needs.

Upstairs, three beautifully proportioned bedrooms offer peaceful retreats from the day. The principal suite enjoys garden views and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are generous, bright and perfectly suited for family members or guests. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Completely self-contained and full of charm, this delightful one-bedroom cottage provides endless possibilities. Ideal for relatives seeking independence, visiting guests, holiday accommodation or even supplementary income, it offers its own living room, kitchen, bathroom and spacious double bedroom. Private, comfortable and entirely separate from the main residence, it is a valuable addition that future owners will undoubtedly appreciate.

Outside, the grounds are simply exceptional.

Carefully designed and lovingly maintained, the gardens offer a series of distinct spaces to relax, entertain and enjoy. Expansive lawns, colourful borders, mature trees and thoughtfully positioned seating areas create a sense of peace and privacy rarely found. Whether hosting summer gatherings on the terraces, enjoying a quiet morning coffee amongst the planting, or watching children and grandchildren explore the gardens, every corner has been designed to be enjoyed.

Adding further appeal is a charming detached stone outbuilding offering exciting potential as a studio, workshop, home office, gym or entertaining space.
