boasts peace and tranquility.

OLD SCHOOL CHARM .

Dressed in neutral tones, this light-filled space offers the perfect retreat. A multi-fuel stove set within an impressive stone surround provides warmth and ambience in those cooler months.
An inner hallway provides access to the driveway; from here, a second sitting room sits to the rear, with double doors opening to the south-facing terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.open to a rear terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. A sociable central entertaining room, an imposing redbrick, inglenook fireplace accommodates an impressive log-burning stove, instilling warmth and welcome. Shelving and storage are available in the alcoves to either side.
FEAST YOUR EYES .
Follow your nose through double doors to discover what's cooking in the kitchen-diner; an impressive open-plan space ideal for modern family living. Pop through the stable door to harvest fresh produce before preparing your culinary delights on the central island topped in granite. Discover a walk-in pantry and select your ingredients to cook up a feast for family and friends.
Tucked off the kitchen, a handy entrance lobby provides access from a driveway. Here there is also a cloakroom with access to the laundry room, a practical place to enter the home after a country stroll. Cabinetry set beneath a block worktop accommodates a Belfast sink and a room from here provides extra storage.
Returning to the kitchen, sneak a peek at the formal dining room, light, bright and great for a more formal soiree.
SOAK AND SLEEP Returning to the hallway, ascend the split-level staircase to arrive on the landing where hints of the home's heritage are evident. Arched doors and frames open to reveal two double bedrooms; one with views over the side and one offering a bird's eye view over the gardens.
Continue along the landing where you will arrive at a bathroom which serves three bedrooms. An enviable double walk-in airing cupboard provides an ideal spot to select towels and bedding.
Adjacent to here is a cosy single bedroom with high ceiling and rooflight windows. Next, discover the guest suite, sited to the rear of the home enjoying dual aspect views and served by its own en suite shower room.
Embrace tranquility in the principal suite, where the high vaulted ceiling is adorned with beams. Spacious and bright, views extend over the landscaped garden to the rear. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage. Served by its own en suite, twin vanity unit wash basins accompany a shower cubicle and lavatory.
GARDEN DELIGHTS .
Enjoy the peace and privacy of the spacious, south-facing garden. Set on a large plot, a formal lawned area is enveloped in privacy hedging, with access through to a second large, lawned garden. Soak up the sun on the patio by the kitchen garden, and harvest fruit from the orchard in autumn and enjoy a carpet of blooms in the spring season.
