The Property - An impressive, detached home, offering spacious and highly flexible accommodation.

Upon entering you are welcomed by a generous entrance hall. To the left lies Bedroom 4, along with a utility room providing access to the garden and surrounding grounds. Continuing along the hallway to the right lies Bedroom 5 and a downstairs shower room, a study (with potential to serve as Bedroom 6), and a cosy snug, each benefitting from doors opening directly onto the garden. A well-proportioned conservatory adjoins the snug, creating an ideal space for relaxation.

On the opposite side of the hall is a substantial kitchen/dining room complemented by a pantry to the rear, as well as a spacious reception room, currently arranged as a sitting room, which also enjoys direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, all enjoying views across the surrounding land, alongside a family bathroom. The principal bedroom further benefits from a dressing room and en suite facilities.

Outside - The grounds extend to approximately 10 aces, comprising three level fields, one of which is further divided into four paddocks, together with the main garden. All fields are equipped with automatic water troughs.

The stable block is currently arranged to provide five stables, along with a separate tack room, feed room and covered storage area. The stables benefit from power, hot water and automatic drinking systems.

In addition, there is a double garage with electricity, positioned behind a large hardstanding area that offers ample off-road parking.

A further feature is a strip of woodland between fields, which includes a derelict flint well house. Subject to the necessary planning consents, this could offer potential for additional accommodation.
