To the rear, beautifully established gardens provide a private sanctuary rarely found within village settings, offering space to entertain, grow produce, relax and enjoy the outdoors throughout the seasons. Internally, the property offers multiple reception spaces, four generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, a stunning open-plan kitchen family area and versatile accommodation ideally suited to growing families, home working, multi-generational living or those simply seeking more space both inside and out.
