This dual purpose area offers the perfect space to step into after working in the garden or enjoying the stunning walks that surround the house whilst in the evenings providing the ideal spot to enjoy the sunset. From here we step into the kitchen/dining room, at over 24.ft this room meets all the expectations of a family, farm house kitchen. A modern range of units frame the kitchen with superb amounts of working space above, a fitted dishwasher, double oven and hob feature whilst three large windows fill the room with natural light. The dining area offers space for a large table and opens to both the rear lobby and sitting room. At the rear the lobby opens to the utility room, rear porch and ground floor bathroom whilst one side of the double dog leg stair case rises to the half landing. Stepping back through the kitchen we enter the sitting room which mirrors the superb proportions of the kitchen/dining room. Two windows look to the front aspect whilst a third from the library area looks onto the pond. An imposing feature fire place houses the wood burner and brings a cosy focal point to this delightful room. At the rear we step into the lobby where the other side of the staircase rises to meet the half landing, a door opens to the study at the rear where we find an original fireplace, bread oven and copper still in situ, from here we step into the second conservatory which enjoys a view of the pond and open fields beyond. From the half landing our stair case splits to access the master bedroom suite on one side and the three separate bedrooms opposite. Our three bedrooms offer two generous doubles set to the front aspect and a large single at the rear. From the opposite staircase we find the master suite which completes the accommodation, this vast bedroom measures 21.ft and boasts a range of built in storage, a door opens to the en-suite where we find a bath, separate shower, wash basin and w/c.

Outside
From Abbey Road we approach Starnacre Farm via a private drive way which passes through a quarter of a mile of stunning open fields. At the head of the drive a pair of five bar gates open to the impressive shingled parking and turning area which in-turn leads to the double cart lodge, workshop and barn, these attractive buildings are a more recent addition and we benefit from having power and light connected in the workshop as well as an inspection pit. Passing the cart lodge we find an area of nature garden, which is filled with wild flowers and established trees and shrubs, from here we see the pond which continues around the rear boundary of the property. Returning to the parking area we open the gate to the formal gardens and are greeted by the house. A path leads us to the front door whilst the superbly kept lawns surround the property framed by the extensive pond. A range of flower beds fill the spaces with colour whilst reeds and grasses are set to the banks. A timber decked viewing platform offers the perfect spot to enjoy the water and the far reaching views beyond.
