In addition, there are two very spacious reception rooms, one of which looks out to the front of the property, enjoying countryside views, exposed beams and a gas stove set within a stone fireplace.
The second reception room overlooks the rear gardens, and features a corner recess, ideal for setting up a desk for home working. A staircase leads to a double bedroom above, with window overlooking the rear gardens.
The kitchen is a good size, with plenty of cupboards and work surfaces, fitted oven and gas hob, space and plumbing for additional appliances, windows to front and rear aspect and a door leading outside.
To the first floor, a landing with in built storage cupboards gives access to three bedrooms, including a double bedroom with fitted storage space and a window to side aspect.

There is an area of flat lawn to the front of the property, with an impressive rose display planted across the front wall. To the side of the house is a parking area with space for several vehicles and access to a double garage with electric up and over doors.
The garage also features a storage room to the ground floor, and a very spacious room above, with excellent potential for a multitude of uses, from a home gym, office, hobbies room or simply storage space.
A gate leads you into the rear gardens, which feature a patio area overlooking a large area of level lawn, bordered by well stocked beds which burst with colour during the spring and summer months. A second area of flat lawn lies to the other side of the main flowerbed, and there are two delightful summer houses (one of which is thatched), mature trees to the rear boundary and a second patio-seating area.
