Ground floor
The hall provides a fitting entrance to a property of this stature with oak finishes, including the staircase. There are separate reception rooms which both contain fireplaces and each have bay windows overlooking the grounds. The bespoke fitted kitchen has shaker style units, features granite worktops, integrated appliances and there is an island containing cupboards and drawers and also a larder with a power point. Directly off the kitchen there is a dual aspect family room with a gas coal effect fire, which leads to and forms part of the rear single storey living area of the house, which we believe was converted from former barns which served the main house during its time as an estate gardener's cottage. This area, combined with the family room offers annex potential and consists of a study, a snug area, bedroom four, a shower room and a utility room with the study and bedroom having fitted furniture/wardrobes.
First floor
The master bedroom has a considerable range of fitted furniture as has bedroom three with bedroom two having recessed wardrobes. The first floor is served by a shower room and a separate bathroom, with both having been updated to a good standard. The master bedroom and bedroom three benefit from vaulted ceilings.
Architecture
The original house is thought to have been constructed in 1857, with later additions/alterations. The property, which is Grade II Listed is constructed in stone with attractive gabled elevations under a peg tiled roof. The windows are beautifully maintained including lattice detail with stone mullions and matching sills. There are numerous interesting features throughout.
Garage, parking and grounds
There are grounds of approximately half an acre with extensive parking on a large gravelled driveway. There is a double garage with electrically operated doors and an EV charging point. The house sits centrally in its plot and therefore has wrap around gardens offering a high degree of privacy. Other features include mature trees, an orchard area and varying pathways with flagstone patio areas. There is a wide range of mature shrubs, plants, hedges and a vegetable plot. A unique feature is a World War Two air raid shelter, currently used for wine storage.
Location

The village has its own facilities including a Post Office, Public House and hairdressers.
