This bright additional reception room enjoys oak flooring and French windows with glazed side panels along the south facing wall, filling the space with natural light and providing views across the terrace and gardens.

The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, which includes fitted wardrobes and a luxurious free standing roll top bath set on a raised plinth, offering wonderful views. A second bedroom with fitted wardrobes and windows to the front and side sits alongside a shared shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC. In the rear wing, accessed from the half landing, is a third double bedroom with an attractive Art Deco style fireplace. The family bathroom features a free standing bath, walk in shower, basin and WC. At the end of the landing is a flexible room currently used as a music or playroom, which could alternatively serve as a further bedroom and has access to the rear staircase. The top floor offers a bright double aspect bedroom with attic storage, as well as two additional spacious bedrooms.
Annexe
The annexe, completed in 2021, has operated successfully as an Airbnb and and has been finished to a contemporary, high specification standard with full insulation. The ground floor includes a sitting room, kitchen and dining room and two shower rooms, with a bedroom on the first floor. Its layout allows for one of the bedrooms to serve as a study or office for the main house, with its own independent external entrance.
Gardens
Externally, the property is approached from the lane via a gravel drive. A five bar gate to the right leads to a large gravelled parking area. To the left is the annexe with its own paved terrace and further parking. A second five bar gate near the top of the drive leads to the single garage, which has power and lighting and provides access to the side entrances of the house. The grounds are largely laid to lawn with a more natural, wilder area along the southern boundary and a collection of mature trees. The south facing flagstone terrace beyond the snug offers an ideal spot for entertaining.
