Come on in...
The front entrance to the property opens into the dining room, where the beamed ceiling and large fireplace begin to tell the tale of the home's history. Once a former public house, there is a welcoming atmosphere from the instant you walk through the door.

Across the inner hallway, where engineered oak covers the floor, you will find the sitting room, a spacious and cosy reception space to relax in the evenings. There is a study with a bay window to the front, original wooden floorboards and a brick fireplace, ready to close yourself off from the hustle and bustle of the house and work in peace, ideal for those who work from home. There is also another room that has been used as a playroom, complete with built-in storage to keep toys organised and tidy. There is also a handy downstairs WC.

At the end of the property is a considerable extension, creating a magnificent family living room. The fireplace houses a log burner ready to light on those chilly winter evenings, allowing you to get comfortable in front of the TV. At the rear of this room, a small step leads up to a raised area, currently housing a desk to work from but could also be a lovely, light reading corner, with space for an armchair ready to sink into and get lost in a good book. Patio doors lead out onto the private courtyard, allowing light to pour in and offering a glimpse of the flowers that bloom in the flower beds behind the house. Leading off this raised area is a glazed conservatory passage, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine even when it's cooler outside.

The Heart Of The Home...
The kitchen and utility area is a functional space featuring top-quality German kitchen units installed by Watermark Kitchens. The units have a subtle wood effect and are topped with Mirama Bronze natural stone worktops. The kitchen features a double Belfast sink with an instant hot water tap and water softener, as well as an induction hob, extractor, and built-in eye-level oven and microwave. A built-in fridge, freezer, and dishwasher complete the appliances, ensuring that this kitchen has everything you need to create your favourite dishes for the family. The floor is tiled in limestone, which perfectly complements the tone of the neutral kitchen units and the exposed stone wall, the original exterior wall of the property, reminding you of the heritage this home embodies. Raised up two steps is a breakfasting area overlooking the rear garden with space for a dining table. This leads through to the utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, and a back door leading out to the gardens.

Time For Bed...
Climb the stairs to the first floor, and you will find four lovely bedrooms, each with their own personality and charm. The principal room features a selection of modern built-in wardrobes, providing excellent storage, as well as a modern, recently fitted en-suite shower room. There is a large glazed walk-in shower, a wash hand basin in a vanity unit, and a WC. The floor and walls are tiled in a calming, neutral colour to ensure that this principal bedroom suite is your very own relaxing haven.

The second bedroom is a spacious double room, offering a lovely space for guests to stay. There are two further bedrooms, which are slightly smaller.

The family bathroom, also recently fitted with a modern suite, has a large glazed walk-in shower as well as a full-sized bath. Perfect for soaking your troubles away after a busy day. There is also a wash-hand basin in a vanity unit and a WC, and again, the tiling is calming and neutral.

In the roof space, accessed by a narrow staircase, is a large room. Partially boarded, this offers fantastic storage, as well as the potential for future development, subject to the relevant permissions. This space could be transformed into a home office, a playroom for the kids, or even an additional bedroom, making it a versatile and valuable asset to the property.

Glorious Gardens...
Facing southeast, the lawned garden is a sun trap. With beech hedging to the front and plentiful fruit trees, there is privacy from passers-by, not to mention the apples, pears and cherries that you can harvest in the autumn for crumbles, pies and jams galore. There are also raised veg plots to grow your own.

Tucked away and sheltered from the breeze is the landscaped patio area, ideal for an al fresco lunch whilst the children play freely in the garden. Enjoy a summer BBQ and a crisp, cool drink or two. After years of entertaining, this remarkable home has not lost its sociable feel, and your friends and family will love coming to parties and dinners here.

At the rear of the property, beneath a pergola, is a private courtyard garden.

At the front of the property is a small terraced area with enough room for a few chairs, the perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by.

There is a large timber outbuilding, separated into two separate spaces internally. With power and light, this offers fantastic storage or workshop space. Additionally, it features an EV car charging point.
