Description

An Idyllic Country Home with Wonderful Grounds, Outbuildings and Far-Reaching Field Views

Nestled within an idyllic and highly sought-after rural setting, this charming, detached home offers a rare combination of character, generous accommodation and an enviable connection with the surrounding countryside. Beautifully positioned to enjoy far-reaching views across adjoining fields, the property provides a wonderful sense of peace and privacy whilst remaining a practical and versatile family home.

At the heart of the property is the superb open-plan kitchen and dining space, creating a naturally sociable hub for the home. The vaulted ceiling gives this room an impressive sense of volume and light, while the generous proportions provide plenty of space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen opens directly into the dining area, making this a particularly inviting space in which to gather with family and friends.

Further reception space is provided by a separate sitting room, offering a more intimate setting for relaxing, while the additional dining room provides excellent flexibility and could equally be used as a family room, playroom or home office. There is also a useful utility room and cloakroom, together with a further ground-floor room which lends itself well to use as a study or occasional bedroom.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom, together with the family bathroom. The layout offers considerable flexibility for family living, guests and working from home. Outside, the property is where its rural appeal truly comes into its own. The surrounding 2 acres of grounds provide a wonderful backdrop, with mature planting, established trees and open views across the countryside creating an exceptionally peaceful setting.

There is ample opportunity to enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining and simply making the most of this beautiful location. A particularly attractive feature is the excellent range of outbuildings, including two stables and a substantial additional building currently arranged as kennels. These provide an exciting opportunity for those seeking equestrian facilities, additional storage, workshop space or accommodation for hobbies and leisure pursuits, subject to any necessary consents.

Combining character, space and an enviable rural setting, this is a genuinely special home. The combination of the vaulted open-plan kitchen and dining area, versatile reception accommodation, generous bedrooms, extensive outbuildings and wonderful field views makes this an exceptional opportunity for those looking to enjoy a more relaxed and rural way of life.
