At the end of the long private driveway stone pillars mark the entrance to the property with the land starting at this point on both sides. As you continue along the drive a great view of the house opens up in front of you, however you can't help your eyes being drawn towards the view!
Entrance to the property is via a storm porch with hardwood pillars and wrought-iron scrollwork. An oak entrance door opens into an entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor, open plan to the living area of the kitchen and a part glazed oak door leads off to the main reception areas. There is also a large built-in cloaks storage cupboard and slate floor that is repeated throughout the entire ground floor, with underfloor heating.
The main reception areas sit to the right hand side of the hall the first of which is the dining room. This was originally the main living room before the property was extended. It opens directly into the garden room with direct sight lines and featuring a stunning fireplace which is open on both sides (currently a decorative feature only with accent lighting but the chimney could be reopened and a log burner installed if required). French doors open onto the patio beautifully framing those spectacular views. The garden room (the name really doesn't do it justice) has been a fabulous addition with its impressive vaulted ceiling and oak beams, full height windows extend up into the apex providing wall to wall wrap around views and bi-fold doors open the room up fully to the outside.
On the opposite side of the property sits a large double aspect living/dining kitchen. This is a really sociable family space with plenty of room for seating arrangements as well as a breakfast table or breakfast bar. Fitted with a comprehensive range of oak base and eye level units including glazed display units with internal lighting, under unit lighting, one and a half bowl sink unit, tiled splashbacks, granite worktops, integrated dishwasher, Belling range cooker, extractor hood over and space for an American style fridge freezer. French doors again frame the view to the front and give access out onto the patio.
Off the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room with wooden worktop, stainless steel sink unit, wall mounted storage cupboard and a stable door to the side. Off here is a boiler room and drying room/WC with low flush WC and pedestal hand wash basin plus the oil boiler, hot water cylinder and drying rail.
On the first floor arranged around a central landing are four bedrooms with built-in storage. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room fitted with a three piece suite comprising low flush WC, pedestal hand wash basin and corner shower enclosure together with tiled splashbacks, a chrome heated towel rail, built-in storage areas and Velux skylight.
There is a family shower room newly refitted with a walk-in shower, low flush WC and pedestal hand wash basin.
Outside
To the front of the house and adjacent to the property is a large paved patio that wraps around to the side and provides fabulous space for outdoor entertaining. In front sits a lawned garden with a dry stone boundary wall and post and rail fencing. To the left hand side of the house is a generous vegetable plot. Just over 11 acres of grazing fields and woodland wrap around the house with all but one of the fields with their own water supply provided by a fresh water spring that also feeds into the Stable Barn. There are four separate well maintained grazing fields, fenced by post and rails/stone walls/hedges. All are secure for horses and sheep. The steel-framed barn with internal stables is located further up the driveway sheltered against the hillside with extensive parking and turning space in front, ideal for turning and parking trailers and horseboxes. The barn has a lean to hay store. Change of use from agricultural to equestrian was passed which reverts back if it is no longer used for that purpose. The barn has power, spring water supply and broadband which is run via an ethernet cable from the main house. Inside the barn are three internal stables and a tack room. In addition there are two lockable storage rooms.
