About the Inside.

Step through the original oak front door into a spacious and inviting entrance hall, currently styled as a music and sitting room. This versatile space connects to all the main reception areas, offering a warm welcome with its characterful design. The quarry-tiled flooring flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which features a charming red Aga nestled within an inglenook. From here, stairs lead to the first floor, while a door opens into a generous boot room/utility area with garden access and a convenient cloakroom.

To the right of the entrance hall, you'll find a cozy sitting room overlooking the front garden. A wood-burning stove set in a stone fireplace and exposed beams enhance the room’s traditional charm. Glazed doors lead into the garden room at the rear, a bright and spacious area with limestone floors and exposed stone walls, perfect for dining or entertaining. Just a few steps up is a study, featuring flagstone flooring and French doors that open onto the rear terrace. This room also offers access to both the boot room and the main hall.

Two staircases, one from the sitting room and another from the kitchen, lead to the first floor, where you'll find two large double bedrooms, each with dual aspects and built-in wardrobes. Both bedrooms are beautifully decorated, featuring deep windowsills and striking exposed stone fireplaces.

The principal double bedroom includes a contemporary en-suite shower room with a frosted glass door, while a connecting door provides access between the two double bedrooms. The modern family bathroom offers a freestanding bath and a separate shower.

The top floor is home to two additional double bedrooms, which share a well-appointed shower room, making this a perfect space for family or guests.

About the Outside.

The front garden is beautifully enclosed by a traditional stone wall, featuring a paved path leading to the charming porch. A mature wisteria cascades over the front of the home, adding a touch of elegance alongside an assortment of trees and shrubs. At the rear, a stunning stone terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, with a charming well serving as a unique focal point. The level lawn is tastefully landscaped, bordered by a vibrant herbaceous bed filled with cottage-style plants and flowers. A majestic apple tree, along with mature magnolias, offers seasonal colour and interest throughout the year. At the far end, a vegetable garden lies adjacent to a discreetly positioned shed for added convenience.

Further along the lane, a single garage with an electric door offers secure parking, while the spacious studio or games room above provides excellent versatility.
