Description
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully extended by the current owners, the property seamlessly combines period charm with practical family living. Character features include exposed timber beams and traditional latch doors, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the home.
The accommodation centres around a spacious yet cosy lounge, complete with a Clearview multi-fuel burner, providing the perfect setting for relaxing evenings. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room serves as the heart of the home, complemented by a generous boot room incorporating utility facilities and a convenient ground-floor shower room. A substantial conservatory enjoys delightful views across the mature gardens and surrounding grounds, offering an ideal space for year-round enjoyment.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Two double garages provide excellent storage and present exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, home offices, holiday lets or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and local authority consents.
