The accommodation displays exposed timber beams and airy, spacious reception rooms, while outside there are delightful gardens, surrounded by woodland.

The main reception room is the generous sitting room, which has wooden flooring, a dual aspect and a charming stone-built feature fireplace. Double doors connect to the stunning conservatory with its glass roof and panoramic views across the gardens, providing further space in which to relax. There is also a useful ground-floor study, a well-proportioned utility room for storage and laundry appliances, and an open-plan kitchen and dining room, which sits at the heart of the ground floor. The kitchen features fitted units and integrated appliances, while the dining room offers space for formal entertaining.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. These include the principal bedroom with its large, fitted wardrobes. The first floor also has a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower unit.

The property sits on a singletrack lane, which cuts through mature woodland, giving the property a sheltered, private feel. At the front, the in/out driveway curves around a crescent-shaped front lawn, providing parking space and access to the detached garage and carport to the rear. The beautiful gardens include rolling lawns and meadows, wooded areas and a pond, which is a haven for local wildlife and birdlife.
