INTRODUCTION Dating back to circa 1850, this beautiful family home has been stylishly updated by the current owners and enjoys panoramic views across the countryside to the rear. With it's own charm and character that includes some original beams and fireplaces, complete with wood-burning stoves, the property was also thoughtfully extended in 2021 with the addition of an Oak frame forming part of the sitting room and overlooks the landscaped gardens. On the ground floor the house has a lounge, dining room, sitting room, spacious kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are then four good size bedrooms, the master of which is ensuite and family bathroom. To fully appreciate everything that this true hidden gem has to offer, in addition to its wonderful location, an early viewing is undoubtedly a must.
