DESCRIPTION

Extending to over 4000 sqft of beautifully presented accommodation, the main house combined with the detached annexe offers multigenerational living and/or home and income potential.
The tranquil setting and delightful landscaped gardens of approximately 1.25 acres allows for the perfect countryside lifestyle within easy reach of local amenities.
ACCOMMODATION
In brief the accommodation comprises; spacious entrance hall leading through to an attractive sitting room, featuring exposed timber ceiling beams and a grand fireplace, fitted with a wood burning stove. This room flows through to the 31ft kitchen / breakfast room, superbly fitted with bespoke wooden base and wall units, a split butler sink and a range cooker. Beyond this is a separate utility with access to the pretty courtyard area and gardens. The dining room has an impressive original fireplace and provides further entertainment space. A good size study is located at the front of the property providing a comfortable area to work from home. The ground floor is completed by a stunning garden room to the rear with a southwest-facing aspect allowing plentiful light to fill the room overlooking the large courtyard garden.
Upstairs there are three good sized double bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect
feature overlooking the garden and benefits from a generously sized en suite bathroom with a roll-top bathtub, a separate shower unit and built in storage space.
THE ANNEXE
