Wrapped in delightful landscaped gardens on a total plot of approximately 0.3 of an acre, with panoramic countryside views.

Accommodation - Twin sets of double doors invite you through the porch and into a welcoming and striking reception hall. To the right you will find a show-stopping double height reception room with vaulted ceiling, feature stone wall and solid fuel burning stove. The room is currently used as a dining room, but has previously been used as a sitting room. Glass-paned double doors lead through to the garden room which takes full advantage of the westerly aspect, attractive views of the garden and the open countryside beyond.
At the head of the reception hall, steps lead down to a study area and stairs rising to the first floor. Across the hall you will find a lobby with a fitted cupboard and access out to the front of the property and the village lane. The open-plan farmhouse kitchen is equipped with an extensive range of bespoke units and a central island offering plenty of storage and workspace above. A four oven Aga sits to the left-hand side, while you will also find plumbing and space for a dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a pantry cupboard and a double Belfast sink. A stable-style door leads through to a large sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and log-burning stove providing the perfect focal point. Natural light fills the room through twin sets of French doors and windows. To the left of the fireplace is the snug. From the sitting room is the utility room and downstairs shower room. A connecting door takes you through to a boot room, which in turn leads to a storeroom.
Upstairs the Minstrel gallery-style landing leads through to an inner landing where you will find the principal bedroom that features a vaulted ceiling, king-truss beams, ample fitted storage cupboards and views of the garden and countryside. The ensuite bathroom features a corner shower cubicle, bath, WC and wash hand basin. The second bedroom also takes in the attractive views and features an ensuite bathroom. You will find a further double bedroom and two connecting bedrooms that could serve as a teenage suite, if required. The family bathroom features a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.
Outside - Approached via a five-bar wooden gate you will find ample space for parking on the gravelled drive. A further herringbone block-paved drive leads round to the garaging, which features twin sets of timber barn-style doors. An extensive manicured lawn is flanked by well-stocked mature borders, feature areas and enclosed by hedging. You will also find an attractive pergola above a dining/seating terrace where you can enjoy al fresco dining.
