Step inside this remarkable family home and you’re greeted by a charming entrance porch, setting the tone for what lies beyond. At its heart is a show-stopping kitchen — the true hub of the home — where style meets practicality. Whether you’re whipping up a family feast, entertaining friends, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine by the feature multi-fuel burner, this space is sure to impress. Sleek, modern integrated appliances, generous storage, and thoughtful design make it as functional as it is beautiful.

Flowing seamlessly to the rear, a bright and inviting living room offers the perfect haven for cosy family evenings or lively gatherings. From here, double doors lead into a well-proportioned dining room, which in turn opens onto a delightful conservatory. Bathed in natural light and boasting sweeping views over the garden and open countryside, this is a room you’ll never want to leave, and it opens to the composite decked patio & hot tub. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility area paired with a stylish shower room.

Upstairs, the first floor has three generous bedrooms, each offering a serene retreat for rest and relaxation. The rear bedrooms capture the beauty of the surrounding countryside, making mornings just that little bit more magical. The family bathroom is thoughtfully appointed with a plunge-style bath, a separate shower cubicle, a sleek wash basin, WC, and discreet built-in storage. The loft is partially boarded for storage — and, with the right permissions, offers potential to extend.

Beyond the main residence, a detached outbuilding presents exceptional versatility. Comprising an office, storeroom, and a generous games room, it’s ready to become anything you desire: a self-contained annexe, a guest suite, or even an income-generating rental.

Finally, there is a larger-than-average detached garage complete with workshop area — the perfect haven for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or simply those in need of exceptional storage.
