The home offers a perfect blend of traditional character and modern convenience, making it an ideal choice for families or those seeking a quiet retreat with easy access to local amenities.

The front of the property is set back from the road, offering private off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a rare and valuable feature in this tranquil rural setting. The well-maintained gardens surround the home, creating a private and inviting atmosphere, with mature hedging and a variety of plants adding to the natural charm. From here, the views of the surrounding countryside are nothing short of breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop to daily life.

To the front of the property is the spacious main living room which is elegantly decorated and centered around a contemporary multi-fuel log burning fireplace, providing both a visual focal point and warmth during the colder months. The layout of this room feels both open and cosy, with plenty of space to accommodate family gatherings or quiet evenings in.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the open-plan family dining kitchen, which lies centrally within the property. This thoughtfully designed space combines a classic farmhouse-style kitchen with modern touches, making it both functional and stylish. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall, base, and tower units, complemented by premium work surfaces in a contrasting finish. Integrated appliances are seamlessly incorporated, ensuring that cooking and meal preparation is both efficient and enjoyable. The dining area sits just beside the kitchen, with ample room for a large dining table, making it the perfect setting for family meals or hosting friends. To the rear of the property, a recent extension offers a second living room, flooded with natural light thanks to the triple-aspect windows. This room is spacious and airy, ideal for relaxing or as a more informal living area. It overlooks the private gardens, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Adding further flexibility to the downstairs accommodation is a modern shower room, located just off the central living areas, along with a generously sized fourth ground floor bedroom. This room benefits from its own access, making it ideal for a range of uses, including as a guest suite or even a home office. With en-suite-style facilities and privacy from the main living areas, it offers excellent potential for use as a self-contained annexe or accommodation for a dependent relative.

Upstairs, the property is equally impressive, with three well-proportioned family bedrooms. Each room is decorated to a high standard and enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, adding to the sense of peace and privacy that comes with this home. The rooms are bright, spacious, and versatile, easily adaptable to suit a range of needs, whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or need additional space for a growing family.

Externally, the property’s rear garden is a true highlight, offering a large, well-maintained premium patio terrace that encircles the home. This outdoor space is perfect for entertaining guests, enjoying family barbecues, or simply relaxing in the open air while taking in the beautiful countryside views. The central lawn is surrounded by a mix of established plants, trees and shrubs, creating an inviting and tranquil outdoor environment. Additionally, the garden features a brick-built outbuilding that could be used for storage or potentially converted into a workspace or hobby room.
