Ground Floor
Step through the entrance door into a welcoming lobby which opens into a spacious central reception hallway. A wide, winding staircase draws the eye upward. To the right, you'll find the first of three reception rooms - a bright and airy family room with dual-aspect windows, bathed in natural sunlight thanks to the home's south-westerly orientation.
A connecting door leads into the living room where charming ceiling beams, a feature fireplace with its original beam, a raised quarry tile hearth, and an inset media wall with an integrated fire create a cosy and characterful space. Triple-aspect windows flood the room with light, with the largest offering a beautiful view of the church.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the full-width, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area - a perfect social hub for family life. The sitting area features a log burner, and there's ample space for a large family dining table. The kitchen is well-equipped with an array of shaker-style cabinets wrapping around three sides, complemented by oak countertops with inset sink and the distinctive and striking multi paned large feature window, a nod to the buildings former past life in the 1800s as a shop.
First Floor
A wide, winding staircase rises from the hallway, passing a half-landing with a stunning view of the church, and arrives at a large central landing. Here, you'll find three beautifully proportioned bedrooms.
The standout is the principal master bedroom suite, featuring a charming exposed brick fireplace as its focal point and two rear-facing windows overlooking the garden. The room benefits from its own private en suite shower room, complete with underfloor heating, full-height natural stone tiling, a large frameless walk-in glazed shower with rainfall head, a vanity unit with wash basin, WC, and a tall ladder-style radiator.
The principal family bathroom is equally well-appointed, fitted with a contemporary suite that includes a panelled bath with mixer tap, overhead rainfall shower and secondary handheld shower. There's a vanity unit with storage beneath an inset wash basin, a concealed cistern WC, and a side window offering another picturesque view of the church and churchyard.
Top Floor
On the top floor, you'll discover a delightful bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, exposed brick chimney breast, and a glazed side window that looks out over the lane. An easy-tread staircase with storage beneath leads up to a charming mezzanine play area.
The second bedroom on this floor is another fantastic double, offering breathtaking views of the village church and a flowering cherry blossom tree - an idyllic setting, especially in spring.
Outside
To the side of the property, a driveway provides access to off-road parking. Remote-controlled double electric gates open to reveal an expansive block-paved drive, running alongside the house and leading to a double garage, carport, and further parking beyond.
The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, offering the perfect space for family life and entertaining. Despite being set in the heart of the village, the garden provides a wonderful sense of privacy.
