Turning right into the sitting room you are greeted with wooden beams and a feature stone-built fireplace with log burner with plenty of storage either side. The room is swathed in light as it opens into the large dining kitchen which is great when entertaining. Whilst modern and contemporary in finish, the kitchen emulates the traditional farmhouse style with cushioned quarry tiles and space for a large kitchen table. This room is bathed in south facing light with plenty of windows, French doors leading to the garden, and back door.

      The dining room is another light and bright room, with double aspect windows, beams and stone fireplace with log burner. From here, the stairs ascend to the first floor onto a large landing which is central to each of the bedrooms and has additional storage. The principal suite consists of a well-proportioned bedroom with inbuilt storage and leads into a large en suite bathroom which is beautifully appointed with both bath and separate shower.

The lawned garden is raised and leads out onto views over the open fields to which a summer house takes advantage and has another patio area. Low in maintenance, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and has mature hedging. A large apple tree with rope swing makes for a lovely spot to look back at the property.
