The principal lounge is both elegant and inviting, centred around a striking fireplace with a log burner, creating a natural focal point for both entertaining and quieter evenings.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed kitchen, designed to balance character with practicality. Exposed feature beams and sections of original brickwork lend warmth and texture, while classic shaker-style cabinetry provides timeless appeal and generous storage. A freestanding central island creates both a social focal point and additional workspace, perfectly complementing the traditional Aga.

A library offers a truly distinctive retreat, enveloped by bespoke floor-to-ceiling shelving and boasting a striking feature fireplace, it provides a refined setting for quiet reading or studying, incorporating a cleverly concealed television housed within an antique cabinet, this space effortlessly blends traditional character with modern convenience.

The dining room is a wonderfully spacious and light-filled setting, enhanced by characterful exposed brickwork. With ample room for a large dining table, it provides an elegant backdrop for both formal entertaining and relaxed family gatherings, with natural light further elevating its welcoming ambience.

A separate utility room ensures practicality is effortlessly integrated, with direct access to the garden, while a well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor.

First Floor:

Ascend the stairs and the first floor continues to impress, offering four generously proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged to maximise space, light and character. All of the rooms are enhanced by exposed beams, adding warmth and a subtle reminder of the home’s heritage, while large windows invite in an abundance of natural light.

The principal suite provides a luxurious sanctuary, combining comfort with refined detailing. This impressive space benefits from a private en-suite bathroom and a spacious walk-in wardrobe, creating a calm and well-balanced retreat, ideal for both relaxation and practicality.

The remaining bedrooms on this floor are equally well-appointed, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working, all while retaining a cohesive sense of style and character throughout.

The main family bathroom has been designed with a boutique, hotel-inspired feel, featuring an impressive freestanding copper bath set against striking full-height deep teal tiles, alongside a separate shower. The result is a space that feels both indulgent and thoughtfully curated.

Second Floor:

The second floor reveals a charming gallery landing, adding a sense of openness and architectural interest, and leading to two further bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the house for enhanced privacy.

Both rooms are rich in character, with dramatic exposed a-frame timbers and vaulted ceilings creating a striking visual impact. These architectural features not only enhance the sense of volume but also give each room a unique identity, blending rustic charm with a refined finish.
