The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, arranged over two floors, with a wealth of potential.

Originally built in the 1930s, the house has been fully refurbished by the current owners over the past 25 years, though it would now benefit from general updating throughout.

The property is entered through an attractive oak front door into a welcoming hallway. To the right is the heart of the home: a bespoke oak kitchen fitted with an Aga and a large central island, perfect for family living and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen sits a sun room, where bi folding doors open directly onto the south facing patio.

Also on the ground floor is a spacious double reception room featuring a multifuel log burner within an oak surround. From here, a door leads into a self contained one bedroom ground floor annexe. Attached to the main house but with its own independent entrance, the annexe comprises a bedroom and bathroom, offering superb flexibility for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or potential income. It could also be easily re-incorporated into the main house if preferred.

To the side of the property is a practical boot room, a WC, and a utility room fitted with a Belfast sink.

A staircase rises to the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys an en suite bathroom, Juliette balcony, and walkin wardrobes. There are four further double bedrooms on this level, one of which benefits from an en suite, along with a generous family bathroom.

The property is approached via a sweeping private driveway, offering plentiful parking alongside a detached double garage with an attached workshop/store, wine cellar, additional storage, and a gardener's WC. Behind the garage sits a generous south facing greenhouse.

An external staircase on the garage leads to a spacious games room-an exceptionally versatile area ideal for use as a studio, home office, annexe or, subject to the necessary planning consents, further conversion.

A range of outbuildings accompanies the main house, including two stables with an adjoining tack room, a hay store with an attached log store, several additional stores, and a hen house. There is also a larger double doored barn, with mains water and electricity serving both the stable block and tack room.

The mature gardens extend to approximately one acre and include sections of boundary wall, sweeping lawns, a variety of fruit trees, and a productive kitchen garden with fruit cage. Beyond the formal gardens lies a small copse and paddocks, all enveloped by open farmland.
