Offering almost 4,000 sqft of highly versatile accommodation, this substantial home has been designed to provide generous living space alongside flexible sleeping arrangements, making it well suited to modern family life, multi-generational living, or those seeking space to work from home. The ground floor is centred around a substantial kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Falcon range cooker and integrated appliances, creating a practical yet well-designed space for both everyday living and entertaining.

From here, the layout flows into a generous open-plan living and dining area, where a double-sided log burner provides a focal point between the spaces. Sliding doors open directly onto the garden, drawing in natural light and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. A separate lounge offers an additional reception space, while the snug provides flexibility for a variety of uses.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, with two double bedrooms located on the ground floor alongside a family bathroom, separate WC and utility room. The principal bedroom occupies part of the first floor and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en suite wet room. In addition to the main house, the detached annexe and substantial loft room above the garage provide further bedroom accommodation or flexible space for guests, multi-generational living, home working or hobbies, depending on individual requirements.

Externally, the grounds have been thoughtfully arranged to provide a range of usable spaces. A south facing courtyard offers a private, non overlooked area for seating and outdoor dining, complemented by established gardens and open lawn areas. The plot extends to approximately half an acre and is fully enclosed, providing both privacy and security.

Further enhancing the property is a detached triple garage, equipped with electric doors, three phase power supply and a working two post vehicle lift, alongside a fully insulated workshop space, making it particularly well suited to those requiring additional storage or workspace. The property also benefits from a private borehole water supply, installed in 2008, and a Klargester treatment plant serving three properties.

In addition, a separate studio space has been fully excavated and prepared in line with building regulations, with plumbing and underfloor heating provisions already in place, offering clear potential for further development subject to requirements.
