Set behind a generous gravel driveway with ample space for several vehicles, the home welcomes you with a pretty porch framed by climbing greenery and classic red brick accents.
Inside, the layout is both practical and inviting. The entrance hall opens into two well-proportioned reception rooms - one currently serving as a cosy snug, the other a spacious living room warmed by a log-burning stove, perfect for quiet evenings or family get-togethers.
At the rear of the home, the kitchen/diner is the heart of the house. It’s a sociable space with a warm, country feel, centred around a traditional Aga and framed by bespoke cabinetry. French doors lead directly to the south-facing garden - a private and sunny haven with a gravelled terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and surrounded by well-tended borders and mature hedging. Much time has been spent on landscaping the garden with further additions such as the greenhouse, providing a haven for gardeners. Rounding off the ground floor is the particularly useful shower room next to the utility area.
Upstairs, four good-sized bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests, or working from home. The main bathroom features both a bath and overhead shower. With its classic materials, spacious layout, and peaceful village surroundings, this home is ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life without compromising on comfort or character.
