Behind its attractive façade lies a home filled with light, thoughtful design and a wonderful sense of space, ideal for both family life and entertaining.

The entrance hall is both welcoming and spacious, setting the tone for the rest of the ground floor. The sitting room is delightful with double aspect windows and imposing open fireplace, providing a focal point and creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for relaxing or socialising. A charming snug also offers flexibility as a second reception room, home office, or even play room. A brick fireplace with log burner, exposed stone wall and warm tones throughout give a cosy and rustic feel.

At the heart of the property is the kitchen, which has recently been updated to create a stunning modern country style. Practical, it features a kitchen island, Butler's sink, comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances and walk in pantry. With its open plan layout and ample work surfaces, this is a space designed for family living. The utility/ boot room, also recently updated, has been cleverly designed to maximise functionality with ample space for washing machine and dryer, separate sink, as well as storage - perfect for coats and muddy paws. In addition, the property also benefits from a dining room, a great space for socialising and entertaining. Further storage and a downstairs WC complete the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom and guest bedroom both feature an en suite shower room and built in wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms which are facilitated by a family bathroom. Each bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook.

Outside, the garden is generous, mostly laid to lawn, and framed by wonderful countryside views and privacy. A series of patio areas and a raised decking provide ideal spots for alfresco dining. A gravelled pathway also leads to an outdoor kitchen area, a great feature for summer entertaining. To the front of the property is driveway parking and a double garage.
