The breakfast room has triple aspect view out to open paddocks and benefits from a cloakroom W/C, with space for utilities and a butler sink/hand basin. A rear door gives access to the grounds and gardens. Back from the kitchen further double doors lead to a conservatory that offers lovely views over the main garden and in turn give access to the gardens also. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a further utility style room offering base level units, cupboards and access to a storage room.

Stairs from the hallway lead to the first-floor landing where all bedroom accommodation can be found. Two large double bedrooms sit to the front of the property bedroom 1 featuring a fireplace.

Tucked away at the end of a long private track, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of peace, privacy and rural seclusion. The track leads to a driveway positioned to the side of the house, in front of the garage, providing a car port and convenient off-road parking for several vehicles.

A charming picket fence with well established garden and herbaceous borders, with a pedestrian gate opening onto a stone pathway that leads to the entrance door. The front garden has been attractively arranged with shingle, complemented by a variety of established plants and shrubs, creating a calm and inviting outlook.

The principal garden is located to the side of the property and is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by hedging and fencing with a selection of shrubs throughout. A number of sheds and outbuildings provide useful external storage.

To the rear of the home, and accessed directly from the house, is a generous shingled yard area offering additional outdoor space. From here, fenced boundaries and traditional five-bar wooden gates open out to the paddocks beyond. Extending to just over two acres, the land not only enjoys far-reaching views but also provides an excellent equestrian opportunity.

The paddock is further complemented by a well-constructed stable block comprising two stables and a well-proportioned tack room, making this an ideal setup for those with equestrian interests.
