Ground Floor

Entering through the front door, you are greeted by a large and welcoming formal entrance hall, complete with an impressive staircase rising to the first floor. A door leads through to the kitchen, which spans the full width of the house. This substantial space offers the potential to create a truly striking kitchen/dining/family room. Double doors to the front provide fantastic views over the grounds, filling the room with natural light and offering a wonderful outlook. From here, a door leads to the utility room—a practical space essential for a home of this scale, with a window and door leading to the rear. This area is ready to be transformed into a highly functional utility or boot room. From the kitchen, a door opens into the inner hallway, with a further door leading to the ground floor WC.

Moving through, you will find a versatile reception room, well suited as a formal dining room, large home office, playroom, or hobby space, depending on requirements. Completing the ground floor is the living room, accessed either from the reception room or the entrance hallway. This impressively generous space features a central fireplace, two sets of double doors to the front, and additional side windows, creating a bright and inviting space.

First Floor

The staircase rises to a galleried landing, itself an impressive space, which provides access to five well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe area. The family bathroom includes a pedestal wash hand basin, WC, and panelled bath. While in need of updating, it offers excellent scope for improvement. To the front of the property, a wooden balcony is accessible from both the landing and bedroom four via double doors. (Please note: this balcony is not to be accessed during viewings.)

Parking and Outbuilding

The property is approached via a shared driveway which winds up to the house, enhancing the sense of arrival and grandeur. There is ample parking available to both the front and side of the property. To the left of the house stands a brick-built, open-fronted outbuilding, offering excellent scope to be adapted into garaging, a workshop, or further ancillary space (subject to the necessary consents).

Garden and grounds

The property is complemented by a walled front garden, offering both privacy and seclusion. This area presents excellent scope for landscaping, with potential to create attractive lawns and formal gardens that would further enhance the setting of the home. Beyond the immediate garden, the property is surrounded by its own grounds. To the rear lies a substantial area of woodland, providing not only additional privacy but also a natural haven for wildlife. To the right of the house is a generous paddock, ideally suited to animal husbandry or equestrian use. In total, the house and grounds extend to approximately 6.8 acres.
