With stunning views from every floor, direct access to National Trust land, and a peaceful, private setting, it’s a rare opportunity to own a truly special period property.

Ground Floor

Entering the property from the porched front door, you're greeted by a generous entrance hall. To the right, two spacious reception rooms offer plenty of flexibility - one currently serves as a formal dining room, and the other as a comfortable sitting room with doors out onto the patio and garden. The current owners have carefully restored some of the original flooring, adding charm and character to the space. Through to the other side is a downstairs cloakroom, while the kitchen and breakfast room offer a welcoming space for everyday living.

First Floor

Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, offering ample space and comfort. There are two well-appointed bathrooms, and from the bedrooms, you can enjoy stunning views over the nearby National Trust land and the wrap-around garden, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop.

Second Floor

On the second floor, you'll find a further two bedrooms, both generously sized, featuring built-in storage. If you thought the views from the first floor were impressive, the landscape from this level is truly breathtaking. This floor offers great flexibility and, since the property is not listed, it could perhaps be readily transformed into a spectacular master suite, with stunning views of the surrounding area.
