A rear lobby offers external access and leads to a versatile ground floor bedroom with adjacent shower room, ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
Upstairs, a stunning galleried landing with glazed balustrades and a contemporary bridge creates a dramatic focal point, leading to the bedroom accommodation. The principal suite enjoys lovely views and an en suite shower room, alongside three further bedrooms, one with cloakroom en suite. A beautifully appointed family bathroom with vaulted ceiling completes this exceptional home.
Annexe Lodge and Grounds

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with more formal planting and framed by mature trees, creating a high degree of privacy while enjoying far-reaching countryside views.
A substantial detached lodge provides versatile accommodation, comprising three bedrooms alongside a kitchen and reception space, ideal for use as an annexe or guest suite. A useful outbuilding, will prove suitable for storage or hobbies, and extensive driveway parking for numerous vehicles.
