The dwelling started life as a humble timber frame bungalow, yet over the years it has benefited from extensive renovations and improvements which have enlarged the property significantly, to encompass a space of around 2,750 sq metres.

Inside, the accommodation is presented to an incredibly high standard and is currently decorated in pleasing neutral tones. The main reception room has a high level of exposure to natural light and has a lovely double-facing wood burner and French doors that open to the garden.

There are a further four bedrooms on the first floor, three of which are large doubles, plus a family bathroom and door to the balcony.

The surrounding gardens and grounds are the true showpiece of this property. The gardens boast an abundance of colourful flowers and mature shrubs, whilst there's also a beautiful old hay meadow, several timber outbuildings, and 32.5 acres of deciduous and conifer woodland.

A notable feature is a covered timber deck area that forms a wonderful hideaway on the edge of the woods - a perfect retreat on a warm summer evening.
