A dedicated study, peacefully positioned overlooking the garden, provides an ideal environment for home working, reading or quiet retreat.

The sitting room opens directly onto the garden, allowing the house and grounds to flow naturally together. Beyond the immediate terrace and lawn, a mature copper beech hedge and garden arch create an enticing entrance into the principal garden.

Here, a generous entertaining terrace provides an idyllic setting for summer lunches, evening drinks and alfresco dining. A lovely lawn is framed by mature flower and shrub borders, while an ornamental pond, fruit trees and specimen planting create an established and quintessentially English garden atmosphere.

Carefully considered planting and mature boundaries provide colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons, while numerous secluded corners offer places to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Beyond the formal garden, a charming sleeper bridge leads towards the paddock, creating a natural transition from landscaped garden to open countryside.

Extending to approximately 3.22 acres, the paddock is an outstanding feature and adds another dimension to this exceptional village home.
