The dual aspect allow for excellent natural light, while stairs rise to the first floor.

Fitted with a range of wall and base units, the kitchen offers space for a cooker with exposed brick surround, fridge/freezer, under counter freezer and dishwasher, whilst a separate utility room provides additional practicality with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and chairs, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining, with double doors opening onto the garden and access through to the adjoining family room. A particularly versatile space, the family room enjoys a lovely connection to the outside with two sets of double doors opening onto the garden and would lend itself equally well as a playroom, home office or additional reception space. A cloakroom fitted with a WC and wash hand basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

The impressive principal bedroom is a particular highlight, featuring a splendid vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams and trusses that create a wonderful sense of character and space.

Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom, benefiting from triple-aspect windows that provide an abundance of natural light throughout the day, while bedrooms three and four are both well-sized and versatile rooms suitable for family living, guests or home working. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath with separate shower, WC and wash basin.

The attractive front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a variety of mature trees and established shrubs that create a welcoming first impression. To the rear, the generous garden backs onto open fields, affording delightful far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Thoughtfully landscaped and arranged over gentle tiers, the garden is interspersed with attractive brick retaining walls and steps, with expansive lawned areas bordered by mature planting, flowering shrubs and neatly maintained hedging.
