The Property

Entering the property via the front entrance porch we step over the charming brick floor and push open the door to the main accommodation. The space that greets us is exceptional, an open plan hub of the house which retains a wealth of character akin to the original cottage. The reception snug is the first of our rooms which seamlessly flows into the kitchen and dining room alike. Timber flooring underfoot enhances the space whilst the wood burning stove sits in our fire place providing a warming focal point. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of hand made units that sit below a contrasting work surface. A double bowl sink is set below the window that over looks the patio area and space is made for our cooker and fridge freezer. Continuing open plan we step into the dining room where french doors open to the patio, under foot we find an attractive tiled floor that contrasts against the exposed brick wall bringing character to the entire space. At the rear of the property we find the family room where light floods in through the two side windows and charming bay that looks onto the rear garden. Herringbone wood flooring finishes this room and feature fire place provides our focal point. Heading back through the house we pass the utility, porch and lavatory and find the sitting room. This generous yet cosy family space again is filled with light from front and rear aspect windows, an open fire place gives home to pot style wood burner and timber flooring finishes the room. On the first floor we find our four bedrooms the master of which enjoys a bay window over looking the rear gardens and fields beyond, a window seat provides the perfect spot to take in the view. The family bathroom provides a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, w/c, wash basin and a bidet. A t the far end of the landing we find the shower room accessed via the dressing room. This completes the accommodation.



Outside

From the road we approach the property via the extensive graveled parking area which sits to the front and side of the house and in turn leads to both our front and rear entrance doors. From here the space opens to the main gardens where a variety of areas compliment the three quarter of an acre plot. To the boundaries established hedges frame the plot whilst at the rear these are mainly low lying enabling us to enjoy the uninterrupted field views. To the south side of the house a charming patio area opens from the dining room and provides the perfect outside space to entertain from. A timber pergola complements the patio and a feature pond provides a focal point. In the main garden we pass a range of planted of beds, along with an established vegetable and fruit garden before approaching the garden stores and workshop. A raised deck terrace gives home to a timber 'tree house' and a classic railway carriage is found providing a charming feature and additional storage.
