4 bedroom house

Set back from the road a five bar gate opens to an impressive long gravelled driveway to the front of the property where there is ample parking turning space and access to detached double garage with office space to the rear and studio over.

The property has been sympathetically modernised over the years in order to retain its character whilst still providing a wonderful family ambience. There are two brick inglenooks, beamed ceilings and an impressive reception hall, which the galleried landing overlooks. The garden room is a stunning addition and both the sitting room and dining room are generously proportioned with feature fireplaces and beamed ceilings. At the rear of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of Shaker-style units and off the kitchen there is a rear lobby with a downstairs cloakroom and utility room.

On the first floor there is the stunning galleried landing with the space currently utilised to provide a library and reading area. The four bedrooms are all accessed from the landing whilst there is also a second flight of stairs to the large attic space with excellent head room, which follows the L-shape of the house. At the rear of the property on the first floor is the master bedroom which offers dressing area, en suite bathroom and views across the gardens and beyond to the surrounding fields.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with various themed areas. There are two ponds, a natural pond with weeping willow drooping over and an ornamental pond with a bridge. There are vegetable and herb gardens and a sheltered patio to the rear of the house.

Within the grounds is a detached double garage with an office room to the rear and a large studio room above - a wonderful home office or hobbies room.
