Internally the property offers a light and airy feel with many rooms having dual aspects and exposed beams and internal brickwork reminiscent of the original structure occupying the site together, with oak internal doors, deep skirting and architraves.
The main accommodation comprises an initial dual aspect entrance hall leading through into a simply stunning open plan living/dining kitchen offering close to 650sq.ft. of floor area and benefitting from windows and doors to two elevations, making use of it's south to westerly aspect, with a fantastic vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The living/dining area links through into a tastefully appointed kitchen with high specification integrated appliances, having a useful utility room leading off that provides a good level of storage.
The main living room again affords windows to two elevations including bifold doors to the south westerly side, having a contemporary log burning stove and leading through into a ground floor master suite which is an impressive double bedroom with a good level of integrated storage and ensuite facilities. To the first floor there are three further double bedrooms, the larger of which also benefits from ensuite facilities, with a separate beautifully appointed family bath/shower room.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies an attractive plot tucked away in a corner of the close with generous off road parking, a double garage and beautifully landscaped gardens to the south and north westerly side both of which afford an open aspect across adjacent fields and down to the River Trent and escarpment beyond.
Overall this is a stunning home tucked away within this quiet hamlet but still located within easy reach of local communications and nearby amenities.
Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
