The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating throughout, whilst a striking double-sided fireplace with inset wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point to both the principal reception rooms.

Accommodation - A welcoming entrance hall provides access to a useful lobby, ideal for coats and footwear, before leading into the well-proportioned sitting room. The sitting room enjoys a charming bay window and centres around the impressive double-sided fireplace with wood burning stove, which is equally shared with the adjoining dining room to create a warm and sociable atmosphere. The dining room enjoys delightful views across the surrounding countryside and opens directly into a uPVC double glazed conservatory, from where uninterrupted views stretch across miles of rolling farmland. Double doors lead onto an elevated decked balcony, providing a wonderful setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining. The kitchen is well served by a generous walk-in pantry cupboard with space for white goods, offering excellent additional storage and practicality. On the first floor are three bedrooms. The two principal bedrooms are particularly spacious, each enjoying dual aspect windows with attractive bay windows and far-reaching rural views from virtually every angle. The third bedroom provides an ideal guest room and benefits from a contemporary en suite shower room. A family bathroom, fitted with a shower over the bath, together with a useful study area on the landing, complete the accommodation.

Outside - The property is approached via a driveway providing parking for two vehicles in front of a larger than average single garage. Attached to the rear of the garage is a highly useful additional room, currently utilised by the vendors as a dog room, although equally well suited as a utility room, workshop or hobby space. The surrounding gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres.
To the front, an attractive lawn is complemented by well-stocked flower borders, mature shrubs and established bamboo, creating an effective screen from the roadside and enhancing privacy. The side garden has recently been landscaped with decorative gravel and raised planting beds, designed for ease of maintenance.
To the rear, a lawn and patio provide an ideal space for family enjoyment, beyond which gated access leads into the wider grounds. The adjoining land benefits from two separate roadside accesses, offering considerable flexibility and ample space for those with trailers, motorhomes, caravans or larger commercial vehicles. A garden shed provides useful external storage, whilst a recently installed soakaway has been added to enhance the property's private drainage system.
