Double doors open on either side of the central chimney breast and lead into the garden room, with an expanse of windows and further French doors to the garden, reclaimed painted beams and another wood burning stove, while this whole area can be opened up if desired to create one large sociable living space.

To the back of the house, kitchen breakfast room is beautifully fitted with a range of bespoke Kitchens Etc base and wall cabinets and a central island, with Corian worktops and an oversized butlers sink. Integrated appliances include a 3-oven oil fired Aga, Neff dishwasher and a Samsung American style fridge freezer. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs in the room.
Leading off the kitchen, the boot room/utility is also very nicely fitted with matching cabinets and storage cupboards, a further sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A large cupboard houses the pressurised water cylinder, and the property also has a water softener. The back door opens from here to the garden and gives easy access to the parking area and garaging.
Upstairs the bedrooms are distributed over two floors; the first-floor galleried landing is particularly spacious and light with room for comfortable seating if desired.
