**WATCH OUR VIDEO TOUR **

The Coach House is one of three properties redeveloped in 2005. Set back from the road, it is approached through electric oak gates with an intercom and extends to approximately 3,238 sq. ft. The stone exterior, double-fronted design and covered porch give the house traditional character, while a modern rendered section and full-height aluminium window add a contemporary touch. The driveway provides parking and leads to the detached double garage.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with generous storage and a cloak cupboard. An oak staircase leads to the first floor, galleried landing. The living room has exposed beams, a log-burning stove and a full-height aluminium window overlooking the side garden. Glazed doors open outside. All windows and doors have been replaced within the last 3.5 years, including new patio doors and a bespoke aluminium double-height feature frame installed within the last few months. There is also a family room, dining room, study and ground-floor cloakroom.

The dining kitchen has a good range of fitted units, granite work surfaces, and a central island. Appliances include a five-ring electric hob, extractor, range-style cooker, dishwasher and microwave, with space for an American-style fridge freezer. The adjoining utility room has additional storage, a sink and laundry space.

The oak staircase rises to a bright galleried landing, which provides access to all six first-floor bedrooms and the family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom enjoys pleasant views and has a range of fitted wardrobes. Its modern en suite is fitted with a shower, WC and vanity wash basin, together with underfloor heating. Bedroom two is a generous double bedroom with fitted storage and its own modern en suite shower room. Bedrooms three, four and five are well-proportioned rooms served by the family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC. The sixth bedroom is a useful single room that could also be used as a nursery or additional study. All bedrooms are fitted with spacious cabinetry.

The plot encompassing the house, garden and paddock is approximately one acre, creating an attractive and private setting around the house. The paddock has the potential to be used for a pony, hobby livestock or as an orchard. The grounds combine landscaped areas with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. A paved terrace wraps around the house the back of the house, providing plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with direct access from the principal living areas. To the side, a timber pergola shelters a further seating area for relaxing and enjoying the garden. A gated pond forms an attractive feature, while the paddock provides useful additional space for grazing or general amenity use.

The gated driveway provides ample off road parking for numerous vehicles, beside the house and continues to the detached double garage. Fitted with twin electric timber doors, the garage offers secure parking and useful storage space.
