The stunning deVOL fitted kitchen is thoughtfully designed with sockets hidden within the units and has a central breakfast bar with sink and integrated dishwasher. Double patio doors from both the kitchen and breakfast room spill into wraparound sun terraces. Across the hall, there is a spacious deVOL fitted utility room which serves as a very valuable space for country living with a built-in freezer and an adjoining WC. Within the older part of the house, there are three reception rooms comprising a dining room with panelling and wood burner, a living/sitting room featuring another wood-burner and charming window seats, and a study which also has beautiful panelling, stone flooring and side access.

The first floor layout includes four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite is a particularly impressive feature, comprising a double bedroom with timber vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling gable window end overlooking the garden, a dressing room adjoins, and a luxurious stylish en-suite bathroom is fitted with a centred roll-top bath and large walk-in shower unit. On the second floor, there is a further characterful bedroom with an ante room, and loft storage beside.

In addition, the property has a self-contained annexe currently utilised as a home office and gym with shower room. This superb versatile addition can suit various other needs including housing a dependent relative or a live-in nanny. Adjoining the annexe is a carport and storerooms.
