Boasting a very generous 143 sq metres of floorspace, plus 2 garages, the deceptively spacious and flexibly designed property has, over the years, been skilfully extended and lovingly improved to exacting standards and represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained family home surrounded by some of the county's finest countryside.

Re-fitted breakfast kitchen with utility room and wc off, an extended dining room and a spacious lounge. On the first floor, a galleried landing provides access to bedroom 1 (with scope to add an en-suite facility) and an adjacent dressing room/ bedroom 5; a generously sized bedroom 2 and 2 smaller double bedrooms, a separate wc with a well-fitted shower room completing the accommodation.
