Boydens proudly presents an exceptional opportunity to own this expansive family home set on a generous plot, boasting a large four-bedroom main residence, a separate detached two-bedroom house and a detached office space, offering versatile living arrangements to suit a variety of needs.

As you enter through the gated entranceway, you're greeted by a vast block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and all living accommodation can be accessed from this driveway, while further double gates offer access to the rear garden.

The main house offers adaptable living spaces, featuring three reception rooms on the ground floor alongside an open-plan kitchen dining room, complete with luxurious marble work surfaces, a Butler sink, and an Aga stove. The dining area leads seamlessly into the spacious conservatory, adorned with tiled flooring, radiators, and captivating views of the rear garden. Additional rooms on this level include a utility room and a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, discover four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom boasting a balcony overlooking the rear garden and an ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms offer built-in storage cupboards, while a guest bedroom with eaves storage completes the accommodation, all serviced by a family bathroom featuring a Chadder and Co-suite.

Adjacent to the main house, across the driveway, lies the separate detached two-bedroom annexe. Accessed via a wide entrance hall, this annexe comprises a fitted kitchen/dining room with a separate rear door and electric oven and hob, as well as a spacious lounge with sliding patio doors offering views of the surrounding farmland. Upstairs, two double-sized bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom on the ground floor level.

A detached office space, ideal for running a business or as a home office, has been thoughtfully created and features a kitchenette area with a Butler sink equipped with water and drainage.

Externally, the property boasts a brick-built dog run, a substantial rear patio extending from the main house with views of the garden, which features extensive lawn areas dotted with mature trees and shrubs, along with a summer house and a wooden storage shed at the rear.

In summary, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy spacious and flexible living arrangements in a serene setting, with the added convenience of separate accommodation and office space, making it an ideal choice for those seeking versatility and tranquillity combined.
