A dramatic entrance hall sets the tone, rising to a galleried landing and featuring an eye-catching statement chandelier. From here, the accommodation opens into a fabulous living, dining and kitchen space, where extensive glazing and carefully incorporated internal windows create a wonderfully bright and open atmosphere.

The kitchen is finished with granite work surfaces and an excellent range of fitted cabinetry, together with a five-ring hob, wine cooler, dishwasher and full-height fridge and freezer. Beyond the dining area, a glazed sunroom enjoys a beautiful outlook and opens through full-height doors directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between the house and its rural surroundings.

Providing a quieter alternative to the principal living space, the separate sitting room has a particularly warm and characterful feel. An inglenook fireplace forms the focal point, complemented by exposed brickwork and a magnificent oak beam believed to be approximately 200 years old.

A study provides an ideal space for working from home, while a utility room and separate WC complete the ground-floor accommodation. Underfloor heating extends throughout this level and is served by an air-source heat pump. The front elevation benefits from triple glazing, with ful height double glazing to every room on the rear elevation to maximise the countryside views.

The bright galleried landing leads to four generous bedrooms. One is presently arranged as an additional study and opens onto a large terrace balcony, offering flexibility for anyone requiring more than one home-working space. Two of the bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms and Juliet balconies. A well-appointed house bathroom, incorporating a bath and separate shower, serves the remaining rooms.

The garden is a standout feature of the property. Its award-winning design brings together carefully planned planting and places to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while the open fields beyond provide an attractive and far-reaching backdrop. Two useful garden sheds offer additional storage. To the front, a substantial driveway provides ample off-street parking.
