Entering the property the welcoming reception hall sets the tone for the home, framed by a beautiful arched window and door combination that floods the space with light. From here, the flow of the ground floor leads naturally into the principal living spaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To the left is the heart of the home, the inviting farmhouse style kitchen and dining space, where rustic charm meets modern practicality. A combination of fitted base units and freestanding timber cabinetry provides both character and versatility, while the stone flagged floor adds a natural, timeless quality underfoot and the exposed stone walls frame the space with warmth and texture, along with the original beamed ceiling. The striking red Aga forms both a visual focal point and a practical hub for cooking, enhanced by a bespoke splashback designed by Maggie Mumford. The adjoining dining area offers a welcoming space for both family gatherings and more formal entertaining. There is an integrated dishwasher (which is brand new), washing machine and space for a free standing fridge freezer. Returning to the reception hall to the right is the expansive lounge, stretching over 10.4 meters in length. This light filled space features exposed beams, a solid wooden floor, deep set shuttered window sills and the elegant Victorian style wrought iron spiral staircase that connects the two levels. The generous proportions allow for distinct areas, with one side arranged for relaxed family living, complete with a wood burning stove, and the other offering a more formal setting. A traditional fireplace anchors the room, bringing a welcoming glow and a sense of timeless comfort. Completing the living space on this level is the lower cloakroom, providing convenience for both residents and guests. The fitted under sink storage is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Heading up the spiral staircase to the first floor, the layout offers a versatile arrangement of rooms, thoughtfully connected to suit modern living. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, with a graceful, curved wall that reflects the softness and serenity of this charming home. Triple aspect windows flood the room with natural light, while fitted walk in storage provides practical elegance. This beautiful space is completed by a well appointed three piece ensuite shower room. Bedroom 2 is a wonderfully light and inviting room, beautifully presented with neutral tones and generous proportions. Ample fitted storage is seamlessly integrated, while a door opens directly to the outside via an attractive wrought iron staircase, providing a unique feature and a touch of individuality. Bedroom 3 is equally well appointed, with a bright and airy feel complemented by tasteful décor. Both these bedrooms have ample fitted storage seamlessly integrated and are presented to a high standard, offering comfort, practicality, and a sense of refined country style. Bedroom 4 is a bright and inviting double room, tastefully finished in soft, neutral tones that create a calm and restful ambience. Adjoining this room is a versatile study space, ideal for remote working. This room has also been utilised as Bedroom 5 when required. A large window provides garden views, while the layout easily accommodates a desk and storage. The built-in raised single bed with storage beneath adds both character and practicality, making this area equally suited for occasional overnight guests or as a creative workspace.
The pièce de résistance of the upper floor is without doubt the wonderful family room, a light and welcoming space that blends comfort with charm. Softly decorated and thoughtfully arranged, it offers an ideal setting for relaxation or informal gatherings. From here, steps lead down into the bright Amdega conservatory, a true showpiece of the home. With its expanse of glass and elegant timber framing, this beautiful room captures uninterrupted views of the gardens and woodland, creating a year round connection with nature. Whether enjoyed as a peaceful retreat, a place for hobbies, or somewhere to savour morning coffee and watch the seasons change, it is a space that effortlessly draws you in and invites you to linger. Completing the first floor living is the Family Bathroom, a bright and well proportioned space, combining traditional style with modern practicality. A freestanding claw-foot iron roll-top bath takes centre stage, while a separate corner power shower enclosure offers convenience for busy mornings. Softly painted tongue-and-groove panelling runs around the room, complementing the neutral floor tiles and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. A pedestal sink with period style fittings and a WC complete the suite, while a skylight draws in additional natural light.
