with a practical utility/boot room and a groundfloor shower room. From here, the space leads to the principal reception areas, including a substantial sitting room featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a log burner. A large window along one side floods the room with natural light and provides attractive views across the garden. From the sitting room, there is access to the gym/garden room, a flexible space that can also serve as a study as required.

Located on the opposite side of the property, the kitchen is well-appointed with a run of cabinetry, a central island, and ample space for both dining and informal seating. Characterful exposed roof trusses enhance the space, while sliding glazed doors open directly onto a decked terrace, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow. Leading on from the kitchen is family room, providing an additional reception area ideal for everyday use. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom with views over the rear of the property. A staircase from the sitting room rises to the first floor, where a galleried landing overlooking the space below adds to the sense of openness and light. This level comprises a family bathroom and the remaining bedrooms, including the principal suite, which benefits from its own en suite bathroom. Built-in storage is available in several rooms, and the overall layout has been carefully designed to maximise natural light and functionality throughout.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a broad parking area at the front. The gardens, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and post-and-rail fencing, surround the house and enjoy open countryside views. Positioned centrally within its plot, the house benefits from a thoughtful mix of hard and soft landscaping that provides both privacy and structure. To the rear, a paved terrace adjoins the kitchen and living spcace, offering direct access to the garden and space for outdoor dining. A timber deck beneath mature trees features a built-in hot tub, while box hedging and specimen palms form a formal approach to the rear entrance. To one side, a covered, open-fronted structure offers sheltered seating and log storage, office/gym. A detached, planted-screened outbuilding houses the garage and multiple storage rooms.
