• No onward chain
• Many preiod features
• Grade II listed
• Master bedroom with ensuite
• Three double bedrooms
• 2.5 acres of gardens and grounds
• Five stables with fenced paddocks

Driving between the mature trees and wooden gates, lawns sweep away from you on one side and there is a spacious tarmacked parking area, with the house and stable block in front of you and an attractive double garage behind. Next to the garage, there is further parking and paddocks to the side of the stable block.

A large paved patio area merges with the driveway and joins the house to the stable block. Borders with mature shrubs and flowers hide the stable block and line the patio leading to the front door.

The front door brings you in via a rather gorgeous triple aspect timber framed entrance hall, with flag stone floors, exposed beams, and hardwood leaded windows.

It really is quite a stunning atrium and flows into the dining room.

This is a fabulous room with exposed beams accenting the walls and ceiling, fitted carpets and leaded windows overlooking both the front and back gardens. There is also a glazed door here leading onto a large south-east facing patio at the back of the house, which is perfect for entertaining or relaxing with a book in the sun and has lovely views of the paddocks and countryside beyond. Doors also lead off from here, to the kitchen and the sitting room.

Kitchen
The kitchen is a bright and spacious room, with quarry tiled floors and windows overlooking the back garden and stables. Bespoke country wall and base units have plenty of work top space and there is a 1.5 bowl sink with drainer and mixer tap under the window with garden views. A gas hob with electric oven and integrated extractor hood is cleverly fitted into a corner and there is plenty of space for a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and even a freezer. There is a door which leads into a tiled entrance porch, with a well appointed WC and a second door leading out to the stables.

Sitting room
This is a delightful and cosy dual aspect room with stairs leading up to the first floor. There are fitted carpets, exposed beams and a large and very beautiful inglenook fireplace with flag stone hearth and a log burner.


First floor
The stairs brings you up to a pleasant and spacious hallway with wooden floors, a window overlooking the front garden and a hatch to the loft. This is lovely extra space, which makes a great study area and the door to bedroom two is found here, before it narrows to a corridor from which the master, bedroom three and the family shower room can be accessed.

Bedrooms two and three are beautiful wooden-floored rooms, with exposed beams, radiators and leaded windows with fantastic views across the paddocks and countryside at the back of the property. There is a large built-in wardrobe to the side of the chimney breast in bedroom two.

The family shower room, which serves bedrooms two and three has a white suite comprising a low level WC, pedestal wash basin and walk-in shower.

Master bedroom
The master bedroom is a good sized double bedroom which benefits from an en suite including a low level WC, pedestal wash basin and bath.


Gardens and grounds
The property is set in 2.55 acres of gardens and grounds which are bordered by mature trees, shrubs and fenced boundaries. Adjacent to the house are five stables with a useful tack room and a holding paddock. Beyond this are two further paddocks with trees sparsely planted throughout.
