The house has undergone various alterations over the past 25 years of the vendor’s ownership, particularly to the kitchen/breakfast room with two oven Aga, semi-vaulted ceiling, island, granite worksurfaces and seating area.
The sitting room and snug have open fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove, perfect for winter evenings.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and useful study that has consent for conversion to a bathroom, making it en suite to bedroom one. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor with space and planning permission for an additional shower room.

The house sits within lovely level gardens laid to lawn with seating areas, swathes of lavender, mature trees, hornbeam hedges, pollarded lime trees, well and garden store (former privy). The gardens are a key aspect of this house and provide ample privacy.
