The grand tour

The main residence offers a large central hallway, where wood effect flooring laid in a herringbone pattern grants access to all living accommodation within the home. Immediately ahead is the open kitchen and dining room. With an attractive contemporary country-style finish, the space offers a wealth of wall and base-mounted cabinetry set around solid wood work surfaces, with the flooring opening up towards the front of the property to leave more than enough room for a formal dining table, where further fitted cabinetry can be found. Integrated appliances include two under-counter drinks fridges, an lpg gas range cooker, enamelled butler's sink, fridge and dishwasher. Through the side of the kitchen is a large utility room, where further storage can be found, a second sink with plumbing and space remaining for further white goods and appliances, plus a handy walk-in pantry and separate ground-floor WC with shower. The main living space comes just off to the right-hand side of the central hallway, where a spacious yet cosy and sitting room features original timber beams fitted across the ceiling and large red brick inglenook fireplace, complete with solid wood mantle and tiled hearth, currently housing a cast iron wood-burning fire. Courtesy of the dual-facing aspect, the room remains incredibly well lit no matter the time of day, with a set of French doors opening onto its own private patio space. Just off from the sitting room, a second set of French doors opens to reveal the ideal home office space for those working from home, or to potentially be used as the dining area or children's playroom, depending on your needs.

The first-floor landing gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the potential fourth currently serving as a walk-in dressing room. Each of these rooms have built in storage and are more than comfortable enough to host a double bed with additional soft furnishings, with the larger of the rooms having potential to open up into the adjoining holiday let to create one main residence. Each of these rooms have the shared use of a four-piece family bathroom suite, which has underfloor heating & extraction and has been attractively finished with part vaulted ceilings, currently housing Velux windows, with a large corner shower unit, range of vanity storage and freestanding oval bath.

The adjoining holiday let offers its own separate access point towards the rear of the property, where a hallway is the first place to greet you, granting access to the stairs for the first floor, with the main living space coming directly ahead. This is all offered in an attractive open-plan fashion, where the main sitting room space sits to the right-hand side of the property, again benefiting from a dual-facing aspect to keep the space incredibly well lit, with a gas log-effect fire nestled within the corner of the sitting room. The kitchen offers a mixture of wall and base mounted cabinetry set around granite work surfaces and integrated appliances to include dual eye-level ovens, inset hob, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine and a freezer, which is housed in the walk-in pantry, with enamelled sink and open floor space leaving more than enough room for a breakfast or dining table. The first-floor landing gives access into two bedrooms, and a separate bath/shower room and WC.

The second holiday let is detached from the main residence and overlooks the rear gardens. This is an incredibly attractive living space to either be used as a holiday let, or ideally for those looking for multi-generational living. The open-plan design features all solid wood flooring, where the kitchen and dining room emerge to your left-hand side with tall vaulted ceilings featuring exposed timber beams and a gas log-effect fire in the corner of the sitting room. A set of French doors open onto its own private raised wooden deck patio seating area. The kitchen offers a multitude of storage and integrated appliances set around granite work surfaces. These include a fridge-freezer, washing machine, inset-hob and dual eye-level ovens. The bedroom sits at the end of the hallway to the right-hand side, a large open room leaving more than enough space for a super-king bed with additional soft furnishings, whilst an attractive four-piece ensuite bathroom features a large corner shower, oval bath and vanity storage. Both the sitting room and bathroom have underfloor heating.
