A Kitchen and Dining Space at the Heart of the Home

The overall flow is particularly appealing, with the kitchen and dining area opening naturally into the main lounge, allowing the different spaces to feel connected without losing their individual character.

From the lounge, a hallway leads towards the staircase and first floor, with useful under-stairs storage adding further practicality. There is also a dedicated study or home office, offering valuable flexibility for those working remotely, managing a business from home or simply requiring a quiet space away from the main living areas.

The more recently extended accommodation introduces another dimension to the property.

An Exceptional Extended Living Space

It is a space that feels distinct from the main lounge, offering somewhere to unwind, read, entertain or simply sit back and appreciate the peaceful surroundings.

A further multi-fuel stove adds warmth and character, making the room particularly inviting throughout the year. Windows and patio doors provide an attractive outlook towards the driveway and surrounding grounds, while the natural light gives this part of the home a calm, relaxed feel.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring exposed beams and a walk-in wardrobe that provides excellent storage and dressing space. A traditional wooden door leads into the private en-suite, which is fitted with a white suite, vanity unit, WC and walk-in shower. The outlook from the bedroom further enhances the sense of retreat, with attractive views across the surrounding landscape.

The second bedroom is another generous room, benefiting from exposed brickwork and its own en-suite shower room. This arrangement is particularly useful for guests or family members who would appreciate additional privacy.

Bedroom three features a beautiful original sandstone fireplace, retained as a decorative focal point that reinforces the home's period charm. Bedroom four is a single room, offering flexibility as a child's bedroom, nursery, dressing room or additional workspace.

To the rear, a well-maintained patio provides a practical space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a dedicated area for storing logs for the multi-fuel stoves. The garden extends across several levels, creating different areas to enjoy, while mature planting helps establish a sense of privacy and enclosure.

The outlook across the surrounding trees and countryside provides a lovely backdrop, making this an ideal setting for anyone who values outdoor space and a connection with nature.
