The accommodation is arranged to create a light-filled home, with an emphasis on space, character and open views across the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.

Alongside this is a spacious, dual aspect family room with doors out to a side terrace. A cloakroom and study are found off the hall with a well fitted utility room and a wet room adjacent to a door to the rear courtyard. The heart of the house is a fabulous vaulted kitchen featuring oak a-framed beams. This large living area has ample room for seating by a wood burner and has substantial dining space. In addition to this there is a luxuriously fitted and fully equipped kitchen with peninsula worktop/breakfast bar.

The connecting vestibule has double doors opening to a sitting room with a wood burner and wooden floors continuing through to a second kitchen/dining room. This space is double aspect with glazed doors to the terrace and a range of hand-built cabinetry. From the sitting room is an entrance hall leading to two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom to one and a main shower room serving the second. Being on the ground floor this area makes the perfect relative suite. Returning to the main house, the first floor comprises three en-suite double bedrooms.
