The kitchen
The kitchen forms the heart of the home, combining cooking, dining and family spaces in one generous open-plan room. A central island provides a natural gathering point and hosts practical storage while an Aga-style range cooker sits beneath a chimney extractor. Multiple sliding doors open on to the terrace and gardens, with further doors to the hall and living room ensuring easy circulation through the ground floor.

The dining area
Set within the open-plan layout, the dining area offers a dedicated space for entertaining and family meals. It sits beside wide sliding doors that lead directly to the rear terrace, creating a seamless connection to the garden. The area flows into the kitchen and snug, making it ideal for both everyday dining and larger gatherings.

The snug
A cosy snug adjoins the dining space and enjoys a clear view over the garden. A contemporary wood-burning stove forms a striking focal point for the room and promises warmth during cooler months. Double doors link the snug to the separate living room, while sliding doors open on to the terrace for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

The living room
The living room provides a calm and private reception room away from the main open-plan area. A broad picture window frames views over the front garden and cul-de-sac, and glazed double doors connect back to the snug for flexible use. This well-proportioned room offers space for relaxed evenings or more formal entertaining.

The hallway and cloakroom
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the home and leads to the principal ground-floor rooms. A timber staircase rises to the first floor and off the hall, a cloakroom provides a WC and pedestal wash basin for guests and family convenience.

The primary bedroom
The primary bedroom is a generous double room with a large front-facing window. Discreet built-in storage maximises floor space and helps to maintain a calm atmosphere. A door leads through to the en suite shower room.

The primary en suite
Serving the main bedroom, the en suite features a fully tiled shower enclosure with clear glass screen, a vanity unit with integrated basin and storage, and a WC. A frosted window brings in natural light whilst maintaining privacy.

The second bedroom
Currently arranged as a study and sitting room, the second bedroom is a spacious and adaptable double room. A deep built-in cupboard provides useful storage, along with another built-in cupboard on the adjacent wall. A large window overlooks the front of the house and allows plenty of light, making this an excellent guest room or home office.

The third bedroom
The third bedroom is another comfortable double bedroom enjoying views over the rear garden and farmland beyond. Built-in storage is neatly concealed behind draped curtains, and the simple layout offers ample space for a bed and additional furnishings.

The fourth bedroom
Offering flexibility for a range of needs, the fourth bedroom is ideal as a guest room, nursery or home office. A wide window frames attractive views across the surrounding countryside, creating an inspiring setting for work or hobbies. Its practical proportions allow the room to adapt easily as family requirements change.

The family bathroom
The family bathroom is finished in neutral tiling and offers both a bathtub and a separate corner shower enclosure. A vanity unit with basin provides storage for toiletries, and a close-coupled WC completes the suite. A large window looks out across the adjoining fields and fills the room with daylight.

The garden
Immediately behind the house, a stone terrace and seating areas are ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Sliding doors from the kitchen, dining and snug areas open directly on to this space, creating a natural extension of the living accommodation. The terrace is bordered by vibrant flowerbeds, specimen shrubs and climbing plants trained against the brick walls.

Beyond the terrace, meandering gravel paths lead through richly planted borders to private seating nooks overlooking farmland owned by Sir Harrington. Colourful perennials, fruit trees and ornamental grasses provide year-round interest, while a low fence marks the boundary without interrupting the sweeping rural outlook. The beautifully landscaped garden offers a tranquil sanctuary with no neighbouring development anticipated.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
