The ground floor also includes a cloakroom, a utility room, and a further bathroom, providing well planned and highly functional spaces throughout. An inner office has been thoughtfully created at the heart of the home, with a door leading into a ground floor bedroom.
An inner corridor continues through to the sitting room, a cosy yet generously sized space featuring an inglenook fireplace with inset wood burning stove, creating a wonderful focal point. Stairs rise from the ground floor to a landing area, from which the two first floor bedrooms and family bathroom can be accessed.
There is also a useful gallery/upstairs sitting room, which could alternatively serve as an additional bedroom. This space is a particularly impressive feature, with high ceilings and an abundance of light and space.
STEP OUTSIDE
The property includes extensive grounds with well kept paddocks and three spacious fields, combining level and gently undulating terrain ideal for grazing, livestock, equestrian use, or those seeking privacy. Their natural divisions offer flexibility for rotational grazing, hay production, or creating separate turnout areas.
One field features a picturesque lake which is stocked with trout – perfect for those who enjoy fly fishing as well as a central island and timber pontoon. A dedicated seating area overlooks the water, providing a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the abundant wildlife throughout the year. The grounds include a small, established apple and fruit orchard.
A useful selection of outbuildings offers excellent practicality for those with equestrian interests or small holding needs. The main barn currently serves as a well equipped workshop, complete with power, making it ideal for a range of agricultural, hobby, or storage uses.
The land also includes long stretches of river frontage, adding both charm and lifestyle appeal. The river gently curves along the boundary, creating attractive natural edges to the fields, and offering peaceful areas where you can enjoy the sound of flowing water and the wildlife that frequents the banks. This frontage provides a wonderful sense of seclusion and a genuine connection to the natural environment.
Closer to the house, the property features a good sized, enclosed garden mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and planting. This area provides a safe and private space for outdoor enjoyment and includes an attractive patio adjoining the house, ideal for dining, entertaining, and making the most of the tranquil setting. The garden also benefits from further river frontage, giving a serene outlook and enhancing the overall ambience of the outdoor spaces.
