The home has a wonderful open layout which is just perfect for entertaining with each room flowing effortlessly to the next. The stunning breakfast kitchen is no exception, with 420 square feet of family living space, vaulted ceiling and two sets of French doors leading respectively out into a pretty walled garden to one side and to the large secluded, tree-lined grounds and courtyard to the other.

The ground floor is rounded off with a garden room, a large study with wood burner and built-in cupboards and shelving to alcoves, a practical utility room/cloaks and a downstairs shower room/wc, which also serves the bedroom above.
If one ventures up to the first floor, the state of impress continues with the half landing featuring a beautiful stained glass window.

The master suite boasts a spacious five-piece en-suite bathroom with two sinks and a free-standing cast iron bath and separate shower cubicle. The remainder of the bedrooms are well catered for by a family bathroom with shower. Bedroom five is another double sized characterful bedroom with large built in walk-in wardrobes and rests separately above the shower room and cinema room creating the opportunity for a granny annex which could be fully self-contained with its own private access.
Externally, the substantial plot is a real horticultural treat with swathes of lawn surrounding the property, afforded a high degree of privacy by Laurel, Beech and Conifer hedging, an abundance of Rhododendron, Pieris, Camellia, Pyracantha, Ivy, Roses and Wisteria, and a wealth of established, protected trees, including a number of cherry trees and a magnificent Hornbeam, believed to be the oldest tree in Aughton, creating a real park-like quality. A long driveway provides plenty of parking and gives access to the detached double garage, whilst there is also useful brick-built storage and an outdoor WC.
