The triple aspect sitting room complete with multifuel stove and large doors out into the southerly facing garden is a most welcoming room. Under the current Vendors guidance, the kitchen breakfast room has been modernised and updated and now offers a plethora of solid oak work tops, storage with soft close hinges, concealed lighting and appliances including: double oven, plate warming drawer, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The breakfast area is the place to while away the time having a huge picture window overlooking the garden towards the woodland and double doors open onto the terrace an ideal spot for some al fresco entertaining or to just sit and enjoy the natural surroundings. The large utility/boot room provides plenty of space for outdoor clothing and footwear as well as housing the boiler and having fitted worktops with cupboards under, sink and space for appliances with a door to the side terrace.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to a first-floor landing off which all the bedrooms lead.

The en suite shower has been refitted to the same standard as the bathroom and offers a corner shower, WC, wash hand basin and again a dual heated towel rail. The second bedroom, with its eave storage, is of a good size having a large window overlooking the paddock toward the barn on the western side.

Bedroom 4 also offers wonderful rural views over the fields, eaves storage and is currently used as a dressing room.

Outside
A pair of garages sit either side of the T shaped driveway pillared and gated entrance. Other buildings include the 30’ x 20’ double height barn with twin doors in the paddock, log store, greenhouse and garden implement store.

Gardens
Where does one start is the question. The front garden is open plan with lawn behind a low stone wall with stained timber rail fencing and studded with shrubs that harmonise with the Devon hedgerow on the edge of the fields opposite. Access to the rear garden is down either side of the house and on one side is found a southerly facing courtyard style terrace complete with tumbling water fall feature and ornamental pond. Not a bad place to have a mid-morning mug of something listening to the soothing sounds of the water. It is clear to see over the years a lot of thought has gone into the plants and shrubs within the garden and at this time of year they provide a wonderful colourful break before the woodland beyond. Old azaleas waft their scent across the lawns whilst rhododendrons and the mature trees provide structure particularly along the Devon bank dividing the garden from the paddock.

Paddock
This has its own entrance from the lane outside and being relatively flat could provide for other uses subject to consents but currently has a wildflower meadow in the middle, raised vegetable beds in part beside the hedgerows and set off to one side of the afore mentioned barn an orchard has been created with apple and pear trees.

Woodland
This can be accessed via several paths and slopes leading in from the formal gardens or paddock, but the easiest route is along the side of the neighbouring property, down a track that also serves as a public foot path running through the woods and neighbouring fields. At this time of year, the Bluebells put on a great show and earlier in the year the Vendors advised the same goes for daffodils. The woodland sits either side of the path and some of the slopes were quarried in a small way so there plenty of opportunities for children to makes dens and hideouts while the grownups can sit by the burbling shallows of the early stages of the River Mere and enjoy natures surround.
