The lounge is a delightful bay-fronted reception room positioned to the front elevation, featuring a multi-fuel stove set upon a stone hearth with a wooden mantle, creating a warm and cosy focal point. Adjacent to the lounge is a charming sitting room, complete with exposed wooden flooring and dual aspect windows that allow natural light to flood the space.

Positioned to the rear of the property, the kitchen, which has recently been updated, is fitted with a contemporary range of units and integrated appliances, opening seamlessly into a spacious living dining area that provides an excellent space for modern family life and entertaining, with direct access onto the garden. Off the kitchen is a useful pantry cupboard and a separate utility room, which in turn leads to a ground floor shower room.

To the first floor, the impressive principal suite spans one side of the property and enjoys dual aspect windows that frame beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. The room also benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
