The rest of the room provides ample space for the dining table and soft furnishings with multiple access points out to the rear garden. The dining hall is a magnificent space and opens into the office/games room area as well as having full height ceilings and access to the first floor landing. There is also two sets of double doors on either side of the room leading to the side and rear gardens.

The principal sitting room can be found to the rear benefiting from wood effect flooring and an wonderful brick fireplace housing a wood-burner. This in turn opens into the sunroom to the rear which provides direct access to the rear garden and completes the ground floor accommodation. Leading up to the first floor landing you will find a wonderful galleried space with picture windows overlooking the gardens and beyond, and access to the built in airing cupboard. The main bedroom is found to the left, a beautiful vaulted room with exposed beams, benefiting from an en-suite bathroom with free standing bath. The second bedroom offers plenty of space as a guest room and also benefits from a well fitted bathroom with bath. This bedroom also gives access to the final bedroom which can also be accessed from the landing meaning it could be used as a walk in wardrobe if preferred. Amazingly this bedroom also benefits from its own shower room too. The property benefits from double glazing, oil fired underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS As mentioned, to the front you will find a sweeping driveway providing ample parking and front lawns. The private main gardens wrap around the property to the sides and rear with the plot totalling 0.75 of an acre (stms) offering expansive lawns with many fruit trees, plants and shrubs giving plenty of colour during the summer months.

The garden is enclosed with mature hedging and backs onto open fields providing the idyllic space to relax and enjoy the views on offer.
