As soon as you open the entrance door to this beautiful family home you are immediately struck by the historical meaning and value within, including exposed beams and herringbone brickwork throughout most of the property. The entrance hallway with its flagstone flooring takes you through to the beautiful reception room with feature inglenook fireplace and log burner, plus a door leading you into the bespoke kitchen fitted with a good range of eye and base level units, worktop space, inset butler style sink, central wood block island and some integrated appliances with space for others if required. An inner lobby leads from here and through to the convenient downstairs cloakroom and a courtesy door to the side takes you out to the walled garden. The second reception room is a charming bright space, being of dual aspect therefore allowing plenty of light to flow through, with views overlooking and leading to the gardens. There is another feature inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove for those cosy nights in with plenty of space for your sofas and chairs surrounding it.

Heading up to the good sized first floor landing you will find doors leading you to the main bedroom with some fitted wardrobes and its three-piece ensuite shower room, in addition to the large double sized second bedroom, also with fitted wardrobe space. The spacious family bathroom is beautifully finished with free standing roll top bath and separate shower cubicle, with part tiled walls and floor to complement.

Externally the property is set behind a part walled and hedged frontage giving it plenty of privacy, with a driveway providing parking for a couple of vehicles and gated access to the gardens at the rear.
