A thatched gated entrance leads to the parking area at the front of the property, where there is a side gate leading through to the garden and access to the double carport and outside stores. A paved pathway leads to a pretty thatched porch with wisteria to one side framing the front door.
A welcoming entrance hall has a flagstone floor and windows overlooking the garden, a staircase to the first floor, and doors leading to the various reception rooms. These include a generous drawing room with three oak doors leading to the rear terrace and views across the garden beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has a window to the front and a range of fitted units with granite worktops, integrated appliances and two ovens. A useful pantry cupboard has tiled settle and fitted shelving. Steps lead up from the kitchen to the room beyond, with fitted furniture and French doors to the garden. A utility room and separate boot room give access to the garden and double garage. A lovely sitting room has a dual aspect with a bay window overlooking the garden and a further bay window to the front. Fireplace with open fire and stone hearth. Exposed beams and oak parquet flooring. The dining room has an inglenook fireplace, dual aspect with leaded windows and a staircase leading up to the first floor. The ground-floor shower room has tiling throughout, underfloor heating and two small leaded windows; the shower with fixed screen, WC and a stone wash basin.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has superb views across the garden and adjoining countryside; his and hers fitted wardrobes. There are four further bedrooms, each with views across either the front or rear garden. Useful linen cupboard and family bathroom with a free-standing roll-top bath, corner shower, WC, and wash basin.
There is an attached oak-framed double garage with side access to the boot room and ample off-road parking behind the gated entrance. There are two further garden stores to the front. The gardens to the side and rear of the property measure just under an acre and are surrounded by mature trees and hedging, creating a private idyll on the edge of the village. The cottage-style gardens have been landscaped to create excellent entertaining spaces adjoining the property, space for children's play equipment and a large expanse of lawn giving excellent outside space. Well-stocked floral and herbaceous beds and mature trees, including a 100-year-old walnut tree, Judas tree and fruit trees, including pear, plum, damson and loganberry, intersperse the lawns.
To the side of the property is a beautiful kitchen garden, brick outside the store, shed and compost area. The terrace leading off the drawing room is decked and includes outside lighting. There are glorious views across the lower terrace with lavender borders and lawns beyond. A paved pathway leads around the edge of the terrace and lawn and through the kitchen garden back to the property.
There is a generous swimming pool in need of refurbishment. The pool is enclosed with an aluminium sliding enclosure and is heated, meaning it can be used all year round. There are sliding doors, meaning this space can open to the garden.
