It's a peaceful setting rural and secluded, with open fields next door. Inside, the house has a warm and characterful feel throughout. The entrance hall sets the tone with rich colours, ornate wallpaper and thoughtful detailing, leading through to a series of flexible living spaces which you can adapt to suit your accommodation needs.

To the front, you will find a beautifully atmospheric farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room. With exposed brickwork, a wood-burning stove and rustic finishes, it is a room that naturally invited gathering and relaxed everyday living. The sitting room provides a cosy yet elegant retreat, centred around its own wood burner and enhanced by patterned wallpapers and a stunning stained-glass window. From here, French doors open into a beautiful orangery where large windows and a lantern roof draw the outdoors in, creating a bright and uplifting space for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden throughout the seasons.

The ground floor accommodation is particularly versatile, currently offering a generous bedroom to the front, along with additional rooms that could serve as further bedrooms, a study or dressing room depending on individual needs. A beautifully appointed shower room, featuring a large walk-in shower, completes this level.

Upstairs, a spacious bedroom suite sits beneath the eaves, filled with natural light from roof windows and complemented by its own en-suite bathroom, which features characterful beams, offering a peaceful and private retreat within the home.
