The impressive lounge provides an inviting and comfortable reception space, centred around a characterful mantelpiece with a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for relaxing and entertaining. From the lounge, glazed doors lead through to the conservatory, providing a wonderful additional reception area and an abundance of natural light, with views and access towards the gardens. The lounge also provides access through to the separate dining room and kitchen, while a further entrance from the hallway offers convenient independent access to these rooms.
The dining room is a particularly characterful space, featuring an open fireplace which creates an attractive focal point and lends itself perfectly to both formal dining and relaxed family gatherings. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by generous worksurfaces and excellent storage provision. There is ample space for a large double range cooker, making this a practical and welcoming kitchen for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen leads through to a useful utility room, which benefits from plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, additional storage and direct access to the rear garden, making it particularly convenient for family living and outdoor entertaining.

The ground floor also offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for family members, guests or those requiring single-level accommodation. One bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, while the second enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. The rear bedroom is particularly appealing, with direct access out to the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A dedicated office provides a quiet and practical environment for home working or study, while a conveniently positioned cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.
Stairs rise to the first floor, where two further generously proportioned bedrooms provide an excellent degree of privacy and comfort. Both bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, ensuring that all four bedrooms within the main residence enjoy private bathing facilities.

The upper-floor accommodation provides an ideal retreat from the principal living areas, with each bedroom offering a comfortable and versatile space for family members or guests.

BARN CONVERSION ON SEPARATE TITLE: Beyond the main house, the immaculately presented detached three-bedroom barn conversion offers genuinely independent and highly versatile accommodation, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests or those seeking a separate living space. The ground floor features a beautifully appointed open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, creating a bright and sociable heart to the home, together with two well-proportioned bedrooms. One benefits from an en-suite shower room, with a further family shower room serving the remainder of the ground floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing provides a versatile area that could comfortably accommodate a home office or study space, while the impressive principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views and features a luxurious en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room.

Thoughtfully designed with under floor heating and solar panels the annex is immaculately maintained throughout providing an exceptional level of independent accommodation rarely found with a property of this nature.

OUTSIDE: Outside, the main house is set within approximately four and half acres of mature, private and beautifully established grounds surrounding the main residence, creating an exceptional sense of space, seclusion and tranquillity. The extensive grounds provide a wonderful setting for family life, outdoor entertaining and relaxation, with mature planting and open areas creating a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. The elevated and private setting also allows for far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, adding to the feeling of openness and providing a peaceful backdrop to this impressive home.

A particular feature of the outside space is the private swimming pool, providing a wonderful opportunity to enjoy outdoor leisure and entertaining during the warmer months.
The pool is complemented by a dedicated summer house with changing facilities, providing a convenient space for relaxation, changing and storage of pool equipment, while also offering scope for a range of additional recreational uses.

In addition to the approximately four and half acres adjoining the main residence, the detached barn conversion occupies its own separate parcel of approximately half an acre and is held under a separate Land Registry title.

Together, the two parcels provide an exceptional amount of land and flexibility, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial property with extensive grounds and genuinely independent additional accommodation.
