The formal dining room, enriched by period furniture and a decorative chandelier, is bathed in natural light from a large window and warmed by a wood-burning stove - ideal for intimate family meals or festive celebrations. The games room offers excellent flexibility whilst the study can provide both home office, reception room or even a ground floor bedroom if required. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, where traditional wooden cabinetry, Stanley stove and period features create a welcoming hub for daily life and entertaining. Four beautifully appointed bedrooms each boast large windows, scenic views, and period-style furnishings. One bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en-suite bathroom, while the others are served by stylish, modern bathrooms featuring walk-in showers, and illuminated by abundant natural light.

Set amidst an expansive rural landscape, this property promises a lifestyle defined by privacy, serenity, and stunning natural beauty. The extensive gardens are a true highlight, offering lush lawns, mature trees, and vibrant daffodils bordered by traditional stone walls and outbuildings, all framed by panoramic countryside and mountain views. Multiple patio and outdoor seating areas invite al fresco dining and relaxation, while the proximity to a scenic lake and rolling green fields, as well as its 12 acres of planted woodland make this home a dream come true for nature lovers.

Additional features include a bright and functional utility room with skylights and generous storage, and classic architectural details throughout. There are three unconverted barns which offer a multitude of storage outbuildings, workshop space, wood stores and a substantial garage with mezzanine level. This unique property blends traditional charm with modern comforts, offering an unrivalled retreat for those seeking a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living.
