The property is offered with the benefit of no onward chain.

This charming home is accessed via a private gated drive leading to ample off street car parking to the rear of the property and a pathway leading to the house. A part glazed front door opens into the welcoming entrance hall with a door into the comfortable lounge with wood floor and connecting through to a useful playroom study. A wonderfully bright and spacious family room enjoys a vaulted ceiling with Velux roof windows, double doors and further windows to the side and rear with outstanding views and a square archway into the sociable kitchen breakfast room.

A useful utility room housing the gas boiler and a convenient bathroom conclude the ground floor accommodation. The first floor landing leads to four well proportioned bedrooms with a part vaulted ceiling and exposed beams in two of the rooms. The master bedroom enjoys stairs leading to the second floor and a dressing room study and a contemporary style shower room.

Externally an extensive patio area runs along the side and rear of the house providing a wonderful entertaining area leading to an extensive lawn adjoining fields and impressive views.
