There is a separate utility room leading from the kitchen with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and has further storage cupboards.

Leading from the kitchen into the cozy lounge with beamed ceilings, character brick-built feature fireplace with log burner and fitted white shutters to the windows, a perfect place to relax on cold winter nights. The fourth bedroom currently leads on from the lounge with fitted white shutters, this could also be converted to an office or further snug if an additional bedroom was not needed. A small corridor leads to three further bedrooms all immaculately presented and a family bathroom with bath and electric shower over, the master bedroom benefits from fitted white shutters, an en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe.

DETACHED ANNEX: The detached annex has been just as thoughtfully designed and refurbished as the main property and everything is fully insulated and electrically heated. The front door opens into the lounge/kitchen/diner and has everything you could possibly want for multi-generational living. The fully fitted kitchen offers plenty of storage and even has its own central island for dining and additional storage, a built-in hob and space for a washing machine. There is a modern shower/wet room which is part-tiled and a double bedroom with built-in mirrored wardrobes. Outside there is a seating area for morning coffee/lunch or a glass of wine to take in the stunning views and tranquil setting. A perfect annexe for taking care of older relatives or to be used as an AirBNB and additional income.

OUTSIDE: The properties are approached via a private winding driveway, ensuring that they are completely hidden away and no noise can be heard from the road. A five bar gate opens into the driveway for parking many vehicles and both properties are completely detached from each other. There is a triple garage which has power and light and a fitted electric car charging point, on the main house, there is an outside tap for convenience. The garages could be converted to further accommodation/AirBNB (subject to planning).
