The magnificent kitchen breakfast room is a 2016 extension to the house with wall-to-wall bifold doors enjoying west facing light. It is part of an appealing, open plan, family/living area that connects to the decked courtyard terrace through bifold doors as well as to the dining room. The kitchen has a large island unit with induction hob, Silestone worktops, a boiler tap, integrated appliances including two Neff hide & slide ovens, a larder cupboard, pan drawers and a warming drawer. To the rear is a utility/storage room that holds the boiler and off the staircase hall is a useful laundry room.

The magnificent 40 ft drawing room provides a wonderful family/entertaining space with bifold doors opening south onto the sheltered rear garden. It comes with a contemporary multi-fuel log burner, motorised ceiling screen projector and adjacent 'wine room'. The purpose-built office has multiple work stations and contemporary fitted units.

On the first floor, the five bedrooms are arranged around two landings, each with their own staircase. This provides the possibility of creating a self-contained, two storey annexe within the property, and judicious plumbing supports this. The principal bedroom has wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and a large en suite with bath and walk-in shower. The remaining four bedrooms are doubles - one has a dressing room and one a fitted wardrobe - and there are two house bathrooms, both with high specification fixtures and fittings. There is potential to extend into the loft subject to planning permission.

Outside - The property is set back behind a low brick wall with railings and sliding electric wrought iron gates open to a generous gravelled area providing ample parking for six cars or more. The gardens surround the house on the south, east and west connected by a path on the northern boundary. The front garden has a concealed corner with two productive apple trees as well as a generous area of lawn; a secure high fence with gate leads to the rear. The rear garden is skilfully landscaped for entertaining. It comprises a large decking area connecting to the principal ground floor rooms of the house and is designed for sitting out and enjoying all-day sunshine. An additional raised seating area provides views of the open fields that surround the rear of the house. The delightful 'Tiki Bar' provides a welcome supplement to the entertaining options available; it includes a bar, custom-made seating and a gas barbeque.
