Introduction:

Situated within the heart of this picturesque and sought-after village, this detached residence provides impressive accommodation and occupies a substantial plot measuring 0.37 acres. The original dwelling dates circa 1809 and has subsequently benefited from various extensions to create a generously sized family home. Boasting original character with sympathetic improvements throughout, the ground floor provides three receptions rooms, a large kitchen/diner with an inglenook cooking area, re-fitted utility/WC and a conservatory overlooking the garden. The first floor offers five bedrooms, the master of which incorporates an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and is served by a high specification en-suite. In addition there is a well-appointed family bathroom. Externally this property really stands out, there are two driveways affording parking for multiple vehicles and a double width garage. The established rear garden is a haven to wildlife and abuts agricultural land to the rear. The garden is divided in to two sections, the first being a conventional garden ideal for entertaining, the second is a large vegetable garden with enough space for chickens and sheds. There is a large outbuilding adjoining the garage but accessed from the garden, this plastered and decorated room is currently used as a gym but would also make an ideal playroom, large office or hobby room.
