A double glazed window provides a lovely outlook over both the side and rear of the property, while a UPVC door opens into a spacious Conservatory. This delightful spot is perfect for unwinding and soaking up the idyllic surroundings with views over the patio and garden towards the rolling green fields beyond.

Upstairs, the Main Bedroom and the third Bedroom both offer outlooks over the front of the property, while the second Bedroom boasts fabulous countryside views and overlooks the rear garden. A very useful Wet Room is also located on this level, complete with a WC, wash hand basin and shower area, adding to the home’s overall convenience.

The rear garden is undoubtedly a true highlight of this property. Immediately adjacent to the conservatory is a lovely patio area - the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful countryside views. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden provides an expansive space that’s ideal for families and a dream come true for gardening enthusiasts. Beautifully arranged flowers, plants and shrubs add colourful decorative touches, creating a haven alive with the sounds and sights of nature. A charming secret garden, thoughtfully fenced off from the main lawn, features a lovely seating area - a perfect retreat for a quiet cup of tea or a good book. A useful outside shed and a paved path leading around to the driveway add practicality and charm.

This home truly embodies the perfect blend of rural charm and everyday convenience, offering a tranquil lifestyle in the heart of the Devonshire countryside.
