The house takes full advantage of the beautiful principally south-west facing aspect to the rear and provides a charming home.

Internally the sitting room has a fireplace and wood burning stove. There is also a twin aspect family room with an open fireplace and views out into the garden. The accommodation is complemented by a kitchen/dining room with French doors opening out to a terrace with a pergola and fine views over the garden.

Currently the annexe is perfectly suited for use as a home office or games room and the existing owners have also secured planning permission (REF:22/02408/HSE, valid for 3 years from October 2022) to create a self-contained ancillary accommodation with a double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living/dining room with views out over the garden. Outside The wrap around gardens and grounds are a very special feature of the house with broad expanses of lawn which include a croquet lawn/badminton court. In addition there are established borders, a small recently planted orchard, a greenhouse, a timber shed and a well-positioned summerhouse. Paved terraces adjoin the sitting room and kitchen/dining room and provide ideal outside entertaining areas. The grounds extend away from the house and have been planted with a variety of trees, especially selected for their spring blossom and stunning autumn displays. At the front, the house is approached via a pair of five bar gates and a tarmac driveway providing a covered car port and bin store, ample additional parking and a turning space.
