A welcoming reception hall creates an immediate impression of space and quality, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond.

The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive and provide excellent flexibility for modern family living. The elegant drawing room enjoys attractive views across the gardens and offers a wonderful space in which to relax and entertain. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for larger gatherings and family celebrations, whilst a further sitting room and separate snug offer valuable additional living space, ideal as a home office, playroom, or cosy retreat.

At the heart of the home lies the spacious kitchen and breakfast room. Filled with natural light and enjoying pleasant views towards the paddock and gardens, it provides an excellent day-to-day family space with ample room for informal dining. A separate utility room enhances the practicality of the layout and provides direct access to the garage.

To the first floor, a generous landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, incorporating a dressing area and en-suite shower room to create a comfortable and private retreat. Three further bedrooms are served by two house bathrooms, ensuring the accommodation is equally well suited to growing families and visiting guests.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

The property is approached through secure gates onto a substantial driveway providing extensive parking and access to the generous garage with storeroom and utility room. Surrounding the house are beautifully maintained formal gardens featuring sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees, established planting and a variety of seating areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day.

A charming beck runs along the edge of the grounds, enhancing both the character and tranquillity of the setting. Beyond the formal gardens lies a substantial paddock enclosed by mature hedging and enjoying glorious open views across the surrounding countryside. Whether utilised for recreation, gardening interests or simply as an extension of the already impressive grounds, this additional land significantly enhances the property’s appeal.
