A door to the front of the property opens into a central hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation with a storage cupboard beneath.

Tastefully fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units in a farmhouse style, the kitchen includes wooden work surfaces plus an integrated dishwasher, an electric oven and an induction hob. Furthermore, there is an aga which heats the hot water, and a stunning exposed beamed ceiling.

A rear hall from the kitchen then leads through to a downstairs WC and a separate utility room, offering plumbing for a washing machine and a second sink. There is external access from the utility room opening out to the rear of the house.

On the first floor, this impressive period home has four bedrooms, which include a well-proportioned master with lovely rural views. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom, as well as a shower room, also located on the first floor.
