The kitchen
The entrance porch opens into the large family kitchen and dining room with beautiful limestone tiled flooring, classic cream kitchen cupboards with a large pantry unit, wood block worktops and a two-oven Aga.

There is plenty of space for a large farmhouse dining table, creating a wonderful, “heart of the home” entertaining space. From the corner of the kitchen, stairs lead up to one of the first-floor bedroom areas. Here you will find two good-sized double bedrooms with wonderful character exposed wooden beams.

The utility and cloakroom
Off the rear of the kitchen is an inner hallway that leads to the cloakroom WC and a very useful utility room with stainless steel single sink with a drainer, kitchen cabinets, a built-in dishwasher and space for a washing machine or washer-dryer. Also accessed from here is the integral garage with double wooded doors and a doorway that leads out to the rear courtyard garden.

The reception room
Located to the left of the entrance, the substantial living room features a welcoming log-burning stove set into a traditional inglenook fireplace. The room includes French doors on both sides, creating a bright and airy atmosphere with lovely views of the front garden and access to the rear courtyard. A versatile and generous space ideal for family relaxation and entertaining.

The family bathroom
Continuing from the living room, the main bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, wash hand basin and toilet, with panelled walls and a traditional style suited to the home’s character.

The fifth bedroom/office
Situated on the ground floor, conveniently located adjacent to the family bathroom, this fifth bedroom is currently used as an office. With a window offering views to the front, it would also make a comfortable single bedroom or nursery.

The primary bedroom
At the end of the hallway is the master suite. The good-sized master bedroom has dual aspect windows overlooking the front garden and the rear courtyard and an ensuite shower room with toilet, inset vanity basin and separate shower enclosure.

The primary en suite
The en suite to bedroom one is well-appointed, featuring a toilet, inset wash hand basin and a separate shower enclosure. Finished with classic neutral tones, the room is bright and practical, with everything required for comfortable daily use.

Mezzanine floor
From the corner of the living room is a set of stairs leading up to the first floor and a wonderful mezzanine that looks down over the living room. From here there is access to the fourth bedroom.

The fourth bedroom
Accessed from the mezzanine, a double bedroom features Velux windows, a built-in wardrobe, under-eaves storage and an inset vanity basin. Enjoying a peaceful location, it is ideal as a guest room or principal bedroom.

The second bedroom
From the kitchen, a separate staircase leads up to another first-floor area and two good size double bedrooms. To the left of the landing is a good-sized double bedroom with a small separate living space and large Velux windows.

The third bedroom
Located adjacent to the second bedroom, the third bedroom is a lovely double room with large Velux windows overlooking the rear courtyard and the front garden. This room also benefits from a large built-in wardrobe and under-eaves storage.

The garden
The gardens at The Parlour are one of its most striking assets. Enclosed by a brick wall and mature hedging, they provide privacy, colour and space in abundance. Lawns are framed by thoughtfully arranged borders brimming with seasonal planting, with a blend of roses, shrubs, perennials and climbers offering year-round interest.

A charming patio runs along the home, ideal for outdoor dining or morning coffee. Beyond this, a large circular seating area enjoys full views of the front garden, including the lawn, ornamental trees and mature well stocked borders.

The courtyard
To the rear of the property, a further garden space offers a more intimate and sheltered setting. Bordered by red-brick walls and trailing ivy, this courtyard-style area includes a paved terrace perfect for container gardening and additional raised beds for herbs and vegetables. A stable door leads directly into the utility room and cloakroom, allowing this space to serve as a practical and peaceful retreat.

The driveway and parking
Approached through a gated gravel driveway, the property enjoys excellent privacy. The drive provides ample space for multiple vehicles. The integral garage has direct access to the utility and cloakroom and provides an additional storage area or extra parking.

Services
The Parlour benefits from mains electricity, mains water, a private Drainage Septic Tank, an oil boiler system boiler for Central Heating and Hot Water (Trianco system TRO 20/25 BF) and an oil-fired dual oven Aga.
