Interior Description:
The farmhouse-style kitchen breakfast room, with triple aspect windows, is a spacious heart of the home. It features an oil-fired Rayburn. The
Rayburn provides hot water and when
it is switched off through the summer months, the solar panels provide electricity for the hot water. The boiler provides central heating for the entire house. The room has Terracotta floor tiles, and plenty of room for a breakfast table. A door leads to a more formal dining or family room, with built-in cupboards and a glazed door opening onto the side terrace with pizza oven. A light-filled hall houses a staircase to the first floor, a deep storage cupboard beneath, and access to the utility room and cloakroom. There’s also a glazed door leading outside to parking area at the front. The expansive triple-aspect living room spans the depth of the property and includes a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal
point. Large glazed doors open directly onto the garden, making it a perfect space for relaxation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, along with a glazed door leading out to the terrace, providing panoramic views of the countryside.
Bedroom two is also a well-appointed spacious double with an en-suite shower room and offers a peaceful retreat. The Third bedroom is a spacious double with a round window and skylight, adding to its character. The smallest bedroom is currently a walk-in wardrobe but can be converted back to a single bedroom/study. It also benefits from sun tubes to ensure ample natural light. A large family bathroom features a corner bath, low-level W.C., and pedestal sink.
The property has a large, gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with access to the workshop and the studio above.
The gardens are laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, offering privacy yet allowing views across the adjacent farmland. There are several outbuildings, including sheds and a pizza oven with a deck area, which is conveniently located next to the dining room door for alfresco dining. A spiral staircase leads from the garden to the timber balcony outside the master bedroom which wraps around the front and side of the house. The south-
facing balcony provides stunning views towards the nature reserve.
The property includes a self-contained studio flat, above the vast garage/workshop and is accessed by an external metal staircase.
The studio features high vaulted ceilings and large south-facing dormer windows overlooking the farmland. It is a spacious room with an en-suite shower room, electric hot-water and heating and offers potential for a variety of uses, including as a holiday let, guest accommodation or business premises such as a treatment
room.
In summary, this is an extremely good-sized property, in need of some updating but offering potential for extended family living or dual occupancy while its peaceful village location provides the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenience.
