room both of which have far reaching views over the grounds.

On the first floor there is a superb principal suite with a panoramic outlook over the garden as well as four further bedrooms and two bathrooms with all bathrooms having electric underfloor heating.

The grounds are a real feature of Goulds with a superb paddock and stables with a double garage as well as loose boxes making this home potentially ideal for equestrian use. There is also mature orchard from which a substantial amount of apple juice and cider are produced.

As well as the paddock there are many areas to sit and a real feature is the BBQ area with an attractive terrace and new wood fired hot tub as well seating making it perfect for al fresco dining.

The front of the property is mainly laid to lawn with many mature trees and shrubs as well as an outstanding Acer tree. There is also a significant area for parking cars as well as a double garage and further separate garage and
workshop.

The pool is heated via air source and is very economical and there are also solar panels in the grounds. There is also a pool house and Cedar house which get the last of the evening sun making them ideal for a summer drink.

There is also an area of mature woodland with snowdrops and bluebells, all of which contribute to a feeling of tranquillity and peace
