The house itself stands within an impressive plot of over an acre (sts) with breath-taking field views in every direction. There is an adjoining field to the East being some 2.5 acres and in addition  a further block of land just across the road extending a further acre giving a total acreage of in excess of 4.5 acres, potentially making it ideal as an equestrian property.

The home combines period features such as exposed beams and a traditional open fireplace with modern comforts throughout. The ground floor includes a welcoming lounge with open fire, a separate dining room, and a stunning garden room that floods the home with natural light and provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The fitted kitchen, complete with Butler sink and Rangemaster, adds practicality, while a utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with potential dressing area, and a family bathroom with a four-piece suite. Overall the living space extends to some 1,641sqft and features oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing.

Adding exceptional potential, the property includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe ideal for guests, extended family, or holiday letting but is currently in need of completing. Also a triple garage with three-phase electricity and ample driveway parking behind secure five-bar gates.

Outside, there are formal gardens featuring distinct areas including a Mediterranean-style patio, Japanese-inspired section, rose garden, and woodland spinney — all perfectly designed for outdoor living and relaxation but now in need of restoration but extending to over an acre.
