The sitting room is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.

The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys an abundance of character thanks to its striking vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The generous proportions provide ample space for informal dining, whilst views across the gardens further enhance the rooms appeal. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with its own door leading directly outside.

The first floor provides well proportioned accommodation comprising four bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, perfectly complementing the property's period origins.

Approached via a five-bar gate and cattle grid, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival, with an expansive driveway providing extensive off road parking and access to the detached double garage.
