An original staircase rises from the main house to two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all enjoying delightful views over the surrounding gardens and neighbouring countryside.

The property is set within beautifully maintained wrap-around gardens that surround the house and provide a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

A substantial raised composite entertaining terrace provides an ideal space for al fresco dining, outdoor gatherings and relaxation whilst enjoying the far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The gardens extend around the property, creating a variety of seating areas, open lawned spaces and secluded corners from which to enjoy the peaceful rural setting. The mature grounds are complemented by a greenhouse, productive planting areas and established hedgerow boundaries, making the property particularly appealing to keen gardeners and those seeking an idyllic country lifestyle. The generous plot affords excellent privacy while maximising the stunning open aspects over neighbouring farmland and rolling countryside beyond.

Agent's Note: In addition to the main gardens, the property benefits from a further area of land currently arranged as a productive vegetable garden and additional gravelled parking. This area is separated from the principal plot by a section of common land, over which the property enjoys established access rights. A public footpath crosses the common land, providing access to the neighbouring field and surrounding countryside.

Agent's Note: The vendors advise that a new ridge/topper was fitted to the thatched roof in 2024. In addition, repairs and replacement of roof tiles were undertaken to the adjoining tiled roof sections where required.
