Beyond the front door, the warm embrace of this home is immediately evident, with pamment tiled floors, exposed timbers and quintessential carpentry showcased at every turn.

Generous ceiling heights are filled with reams of natural light via windows adorned with lovely countryside views. A large family bathroom serves these bedrooms whilst one also benefits from an en-suite WC.

The accommodation continues to sprawl up to the second floor, where no less than three further double bedrooms can be found, boasting all the charm of being set amongst the eaves with fully vaulted ceilings.

Naturally a noteworthy feature of this home is the enviable plot in which it sits; eight acres (STMS) of grounds boast an array of formal gardens and sprawling sun terraces to enjoy long summer evenings with friends and family.

The further grounds on the other side of the country lane showcase two well-defined paddocks with a central field shelter and water supply.

Elsewhere, the grounds provide the space for an array of outbuildings; including two large garages with adjoining store, and a full run of stables with tack room alongside the spacious hard standing.
