With adaptable accommodation, gardens surrounding the property, and a flexible studio space, this is an ideal home for those seeking character, space, and sustainability.

The main house features a welcoming lounge with parquet flooring and a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a cosy snug or home office with its own wood burner.

Above the garage sits a spacious studio, currently used for yoga, but offering fantastic flexibility as a potential annexe, guest suite, office, or creative space.

The wraparound gardens are beautifully maintained, featuring flowering shrubs, mature bushes, a greenhouse, and a garden room/shed. Enjoy open views across neighbouring fields, enhancing the peaceful, rural feel.

This home is also eco-friendly, benefiting from solar panels and a pellet boiler for efficient, sustainable heating. Additional features include double-glazed windows throughout and off-road parking for two vehicles.

Selling a property can be an exciting, emotional, nervous and exhilarating experience. Whichever way it goes, I’m on hand to help you every step of the way. I will visit you at your property and discuss your personal circumstances and the reason for the sale of the property. This can very often shape the marketing price, timescales and marketing package. My marketing package is tailor made for each property depending on your circumstances. You can choose to include floor plans, photos and a property video and when appropriate professional drone footage and photos. The property can be advertised on Rightmove, other property portals & my own website and on social media channels, as well as tapping into my list of potential buyers. I work on a no sale no fee basis; in other words, you pay nothing until the property sale is completed. My mission is to make your experience as stress free and smooth as possible. I do this by offering full flexibility to you and your potential buyers and my vast experience in this industry means I can guide you through to completion by problem solving and spotting potential problems early on. I have a dedicated an experienced Sales Moving Manager who works alongside me to make this all happen seamlessly. I have strong working relationships many solicitors, mortgage experts, removal firms and energy assessors, if you require any of these services. These companies are local independent companies. I am your very own personal estate agent and I sell all types of property, and because I’m powered by eXp UK, I don’t have to worry about the technology or property portals, allowing me to concentrate on what I do best, which is to help people move and sell.
