Sitting Room: Featuring beautiful oak flooring, a stone fireplace with a wood burner, a large window to the front, and a generous walk-in storage cupboard.
Living Room: Highlighted by an original granite inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and bread oven, filled with character and light from the large front window.
Kitchen Breakfast Room: A large, L-shaped space with an oil-fired Rayburn, and whilst the current owners have not put a new kitchen in, they have updated the electrics, so it is ready for the new owner to pick their own style and layout. The kitchen leads to a utility room, a door to the outside, a rear hallway/boot room, and a downstairs cloakroom.
Stairs from the front hall lead to a spacious landing, providing access to all bedrooms. Immediately off the landing are steps up to an occasional room, ideal as a children’s playroom or occasional bedroom (bedroom six), with an external door and staircase to the rear courtyard below.
The other five bedrooms are all good-sized doubles, with two featuring en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms benefit from a luxury bathroom with a freestanding bath, a walk-through shower, and elegant fittings.
From the landing, there is also a walk-in airing cupboard with built-in storage shelves.
Step Outside The property is accessed via a private entrance leading up to the driveway with ample parking. There is a detached garage with space for four vehicles and additional open parking. The property sits on approximately three acres, with a wide border at the front featuring a young beech hedge, roses, and shrubs. A paved patio area to the side of the house provides access to the kitchen. The rear of the property, accessed from the rear hall, features an attractive paved courtyard with a pergola and water feature, offering plenty of space for a large dining table and a lovely spot to enjoy the late afternoon and evening sunshine. A level lawn area lies to the side, while the main garden, behind the garage block, is a level area of lawn with mature hedging and trees to the boundaries, making it very private and suitable for various uses. There is also a fenced-off area behind the courtyard, currently used for chickens.
