The beautifully modernised kitchen & dining room is a particularly attractive space, with oak worktops, a breakfast bar, extensive storage, integrated dishwasher and double oven, together with underfloor heating. A large window overlooks the woodland, while double glazed doors open directly onto the patio, creating a natural connection between the kitchen and outside space. A doorway leads to the utility room, which is fitted with storage cupboards and worktops over with space and plumbing for white goods, together with a door leading outside. The spacious, triple-aspect living room enjoys plenty of natural light and has double glazed doors leading outside. The room is centred on a multi-fuel wood-burning stove and provides a generous and comfortable reception space. Bedroom 5/office is a useful double-aspect single bedroom, currently used as an office, with built-in storage cupboard. The bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail, together with underfloor heating.

Garden & Paddock

The front garden is laid to lawn, with two single garages, and gates providing access to the rear gardens. One gate leads to a patio area with a useful shed, equipped with power and lighting, together with a pond with an attractive waterfall feature. Steps lead from here down into the rear garden. The south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is bordered by mature planting, with a neat hedge providing a natural division between the garden and paddock. A greenhouse provides useful growing space. The paddock extends to approximately 0.7 acres and currently includes a beautiful wildflower meadow, raised vegetable beds and an orchard containing apple and pear trees. A substantial barn, approximately 30' x 20', is positioned within the paddock and has a double-height interior and twin double doors, offering considerable versatility and scope for a variety of uses. The paddock also benefits from access to the road.

Woodland

Beyond the garden and paddock lies approximately 2.5 acres of mature woodland, creating a particularly secluded setting. The woodland is accessible via several paths leading directly from the garden and paddock, with a further access point reached via a track from the road, approximately 50 metres from the house, which is also owned by the property. The woodland has a lovely natural character, with bluebells and daffodils providing seasonal colour, and offers a peaceful place to explore and enjoy the surrounding nature. A useful concrete shed/wood store is situated at the upper edge of the woodland.
