Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged across two floors. The principal bedroom suite boasts a fitted dressing room, a full ensuite and the lovely feature of a gallery/sitting area over the family room, perfectly positioned to take in the rural views. The remaining four bedrooms are all generous doubles, each with stylishly appointed ensuites. A dedicated laundry room on the first floor complements the ground floor utility room for added convenience.

Outside

Accessed via a private lane, the property welcomes you through electric gates that open onto a spacious gravel driveway, offering ample parking directly in front of the house and leading to the open bay garaging.
Generous planting borders the driveway and continue along the front and side of the house, enhancing the home’s natural charm. To the rear, the garden extends approximately 20 metres of lawn before transitioning into a beautifully seeded wildflower meadow. Please note the latter part of the garden is classified as agricultural land.

A limestone terrace, echoing the stone flooring found in the kitchen, creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. It wraps elegantly around the house to meet the Cotswold gravel drive, bordered by thoughtfully arranged planting beds that complete this inviting setting.
The detached garage provides two oak framed open bay spaces with an adjoining store room. The first floor provides the potential for a number of uses including an ideal home office/guest suite/studio/games room.
