The property offers generous family accommodation over three floors and stands within lovely gardens and with the benefit of a small paddock at the rear, along with a range of traditional outbuildings which provide additional storage/workshop areas.

The front door is accessed through a gate from the roadside - this is the formal entrance however the side entrance would be used for more day to day activities.  The rear is approached through a gated entrance with cobbled driveway with off-road parking for a number of vehicles.  

From the side, entering the rear entrance hall leads to the boot room with fitted cupboards and the utility room, with sink, worktop, cupboards and space for appliances.  The rear entrance hall in turn leads to the kitchen which has a bespoke range of fitted units with pantry cupboard, granite worktop, space for a range cooker and large fridge/freezer.  Off the kitchen is the family breakfast room which has a stone tiled floor and large under-stair cupboard. 

From the breakfast room you can access the large drawing room which is  light filled with a high ceiling and two large sash windows with traditional wooden shutters.  There is an open fireplace with granite and wooden surround.  The room has been newly carpeted.

From the drawing room, you can access the main generous hallway with beautiful tiled floor leading onwards to the dining room.  There is also a cloaks/downstairs wc. The good sized dining room has a solid wood floor and exposed beams.  The central feature open fireplace with cast iron and wood surround has fitted cupboards in the side alcoves.

Also leading from the hallway and the breakfast room is an office, and then a cosy snug with solid wood floor, wood burning stove and sash windows (with secondary glazing).

The main turned staircase leads from the central hallway.  There is a generous bedroom with en-suite bathroom, then there is a master suite comprising designer bathroom with free standing bath, separate shower cubicle, washbasin and wc.  There is a small walk-in wardrobe and then on to the master bedroom which has electrics for a TV to be positioned facing the bed.  Leading from the bedroom are stairs up to a generous dressing room (or 6th bedroom).  There are private stairs from the master bedroom leading down to the rear hallway/kitchen area.

On the third floor are three further bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom.

Outside there is a generous range of traditional outbuildings over two floors offering storage or workshop areas.  There is a private rear courtyard area which gets the sun all day and a walled garden sits at the side of the property.  The side lawn leads onto a large open field space behind the outbuildings with the opportunity for a vegetable garden.  The gardens around the property are fully stocked having been carefully tended by previous occupiers.
