Surrounded by open fields and far-reaching views, this idyllic location offers peace and privacy while still being within easy reach of local amenities, schools, and transport links.

Step Inside A huge entrance hall with beautiful wooden floor welcomes you in leading to the internal hallway. To your left is the useful, dual aspect, bright study, nicely set away from the social hub of the home for peaceful home working, and across the hallway is an expansive sitting room again with tasteful wooden flooring, which has been cleverly zoned to offer sofas for relaxing and an area for more formal dining too. A gorgeous fireplace with open fire makes this a cosy space in winter – it would be easy to fit a wood burner if preferred. Both ends of the room have French doors to the terrace making this a fabulous south facing, summer entertaining space, whilst in winter the views of snowy fields are just as stunning. Back into the hallway is the cloakroom to your right with wonderfully practical storage for coats, and shoes, so handy in a country home. Straight ahead an impressive kitchen/diner has been created in a two-storey extension with a gorgeous, low maintenance tiled floor complete with underfloor heating, Calor gas cooking, and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The kitchen feels very farmhouse style, with central island, wooden worktops and easily caters for a crowd with the large electric range oven and gas hob yet feels warm and welcoming with ample space for sofa seating too. This is a favourite area for the current owner with the dining area showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of the gardens and fields beyond with double doors to the terrace. Off the kitchen is the utility room/boot room with its own outside door, handy after a stomp across the fields with the dogs and also an amazing walk-in pantry offering a wealth of storage any chef could only dream of. Practical And Futureproof The current owner has added contemporary user-friendly features including walk-in larder, walk-in wardrobe, plus stylish ensuites, and all with a focus on maximising the spectacular views. The home has also been reinsulated and double-glazed throughout, enhancing warmth and economy and whilst the oil-fired central heating has been fully overhauled for efficient heating solar panels provide hot water. With air conditioning becoming more of a necessity than a luxury in our hot summers, you already enjoy it here, making warmer months more comfortable and the fireplace provides a cosy snug space in winter. Exploring Upstairs The winding oak staircase leads to a generous landing where, to the left, is a bright double room with dual aspect windows and superb countryside views. Next are two larger bedrooms, nicely separated by a sizeable cupboard for linens. One bedroom offers a stylish ensuite shower room, the other, currently set up as a huge twin, has a bank of fitted wardrobes – both offer views of fields and farmland. Across the landing the family bathroom provides a shower over the bath, ideal for children to bathe and scrub off the mud from a day in the country. The principal suite is like visiting a country hotel. Not only is there a substantial bedroom, but the walk-in wardrobe has hanging space, shelving and even bespoke shoe storage whilst the ensuite bathroom is positively luxurious with roll top bath, his and hers sinks and a large shower too – imagine an indulgent long soak when the hustle and bustle of the day is over and you can hear only the birdsong in the silence. The icing on the cake is the double doors to the balcony deck, inspiring you to take deep breaths, relax and enjoy the tranquillity of being immersed in the land. Step Outside Set back from the road a sweeping in and out driveway offers extensive parking with ample space for multiple vehicles and a double carport with a large first-floor room with plumbing, ideal for a home office, games room, gym, or studio. For multigenerational families or possible ancillary income this offers so many possibilities subject to appropriate planning permissions of course. The south facing garden itself is an absolute haven, perfect for entertaining, for venturing into grow your own territory, for gardening, or simply relaxing and the current owners have enjoyed many happy times barbecuing with friends and family. The extensive lawns welcome guests for games of rounders, badminton and croquet or just watching children and dogs play. There is always a spot to find sun or shade in the grounds, with a sweet summer house too, complete with new roof; watching the changing seasons across the farmland is a privilege few homes offer, along with listening and watching wildlife visitors including hares, pheasants, woodpeckers, blue tits, and owls.
