A fireplace provides a focal point, adding warmth and character to this elegant room.
The formal dining room is well-suited to entertaining on a grand scale, with ample space for a large table and a picturesque outlook over the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room is designed for both practicality and sociability, with a traditional Alpha range cooker enhancing the sense of warmth and functionality. An adjoining utility room provides further storage and access to the exterior, ensuring convenience for household tasks.
For more informal moments, the snug offers a cosy retreat, ideal for relaxation or as a secondary sitting area. A well-placed cloakroom is located nearby for guests' convenience.
Four bedrooms are arranged across the ground floor, each enjoying its own appealing outlook. One of these benefits from an en-suite shower room, providing a private sanctuary for guests or family members seeking additional independence. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, thoughtfully designed and well-equipped to serve the remaining bedrooms.
The first floor offers two charming bedrooms, each with its own unique character, tucked beneath the eaves of the house. The principal bedroom is an exceptional space, where a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing allow uninterrupted views across the landscaped grounds and rolling countryside beyond. This room enjoys a sense of privacy and tranquillity, making it a true retreat within the home.
The second bedroom on this level benefits from a cosy, tucked-away position, ideal as a guest or additional family bedroom. Dormer windows provide natural light, while the sloped ceilings add to the inviting feel of the space.
Both bedrooms are served by a spacious Jack and Jill bathroom, thoughtfully designed with both style and functionality in mind. Featuring a bath set into a tiled surround, a separate walk-in shower, and a double vanity with ample storage.   
At the rear, the expansive landscaped gardens are immaculately presented, featuring a large lawn with beautifully planted borders and mature trees. A stone terrace extends from the house, offering the ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond the formal gardens, the property extends into rolling pasture, making it ideal for equestrian use, smallholding activities, or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside surroundings.
