Butts End

Built in the late 1980s, Butts End is a detached, stone-clad, farmhouse-style home set in a large plot, with gardens front and rear and countryside views. A generous porch frames the front door, which opens into a square-shaped hall with a galleried staircase to the first floor and doors into the ground floor living spaces. To the right is the sitting room with triple-aspect windows and a stone fireplace with wood burner. Another door leads into the study with built-in storage and glass doors onto the rear courtyard. There's a dining room with views to the front and side and a door into the kitchen. This room, like much of the house, is a good size and is in need of updating; there's plenty of opportunity to renovate this property into a great family home. Wooden kitchen units offer plenty of worktop space, the cooker is electric and the sink is under the window looking out to the rear yard. Next to the kitchen, there's a walk-through pantry that adjoins the boot room and utility.

Upstairs, the banisters frame the central staircase and doorways lead to each of the four bedrooms from here. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite. There's a family bathroom, large airing cupboard and three double sized bedrooms, all with storage and lovely views across the surrounding countryside.

Two stone pillars sit either side of the driveway entrance to Butt's End, the gravel drive winding round to the rear of the house, where there is plenty of parking space in the yard. The whole plot (1.55 acres) is enclosed by hedging on three sides, with the paddocks on the fourth. At the front, there's a large garden, mostly laid to lawn and with a few trees, mature shrubs and flower beds along the hedge line. At the rear, there's a large yard that runs the full length of the outbuildings and has fencing and gates that can be used to enclose livestock if required. There's a path that connects the yard and the paddocks, both which are enclosed by wooden fencing and surrounded by rolling fields.

At the rear of the yard, beyond a drystone wall, there's another garden, mostly level, with lawn and a few fruit trees. A gate, framed by an arched opening cut into the hedging, leads into one of the paddocks. The outbuildings include a large wooden shed, a garage, tack room and three stables.

In all approximately 1.55 acres. EPC: E.
