The formal dining area connects seamlessly to the spacious living room, which enjoys a large front-facing window, ample space for entertaining, and a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. Further along the property is an additional reception room, currently used as a home office, which would also make an excellent family room.

The entire ground floor is exceptionally light and airy, with carefully considered design throughout. A tandem-length garage is also positioned to the side of the property.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a superb retreat, featuring smart pocket doors leading to a dressing room and onward to a luxurious en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, with the second bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious and elegantly appointed four-piece family bathroom.

Externally, the front of the property offers a block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking for several vehicles, along with access to the garage via a roller shutter door. The front garden is attractively landscaped with railway sleeper planting, mature shrubs, trees, and a paved pathway leading to the entrance.

A secure side gate leads to the rear garden, which has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a peaceful and private outdoor setting. It features multiple paved seating areas, terraced lawns, mature planting, and a versatile summer house/garden room with power and lighting. The rear garden is not overlooked, offering a tranquil and secluded space ideal for relaxing or entertaining in this sought-after rural location.
