Accommodation

Internally, the property combines characterful features with generous space. The sitting room features an open fireplace with attractive surround, built-in shelving and storage to either side. French doors lead through to a bright conservatory, where extensive windows frame the gardens and countryside beyond. The conservatory also opens onto a raised decked area, providing an ideal space for outdoor seating and enjoying the exceptional outlook.

The ground floor further comprises a separate dining room, together with a double bedroom and a well-appointed shower room. The kitchen is fitted with a selection of wall and floor cupboards, vinyl flooring, a Royal Rayburn and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A front-facing window overlooks the driveway, while a small entrance lobby provides access to the front of the property.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working. The bedrooms are predominantly fitted with carpeted flooring and benefit from built-in storage or shelving, while the side-aspect windows enjoy attractive views over the rolling countryside. The floor is completed by a family bathroom with bath, WC and a wash hand basin, together with a separate WC and an airing cupboard.

A further staircase leads to the second floor, where two attic rooms provide additional versatile space. Both rooms benefit from carpeted flooring and dormer windows, with light and power provided. One room houses the property's water tank. These attic rooms are not connected to the property's wider heating system.

Outside, the property is approached via a private road leading to a driveway with parking for up to two vehicles. A detached garage benefits from power and lighting and is accessed via double wooden doors.

A gated entrance from the driveway leads around to the side and rear garden, where generous lawned areas are enclosed by fencing, mature shrubs and established planting. The gardens enjoy far-reaching panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and a raised millboard-style deck adjoining the conservatory creates a delightful spot for outdoor dining, entertaining or relaxing.

Additional practical space is provided by a utility room which is situated to the front of the property, with vinyl flooring, a sink and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility room also incorporates a separate enclosed WC. Adjacent to this is an external store with power, water supply and a side window overlooking the garden.
