The property is a beautifully presented Grade II listed detached country home, which has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners to an outstanding standard, offering 13.52 acres and over 4000 sq. ft. of accommodation, located in a secluded position yet within close proximity to local amenities.

The property benefits from extensive gardens and grounds, which includes a double garage with secondary accommodation and a storage and garden store. There is also Sonos music system in some rooms and monitored alarm system in both the house and garage.

The front door opens into a front porch, leading to a sizeable, exposed brickwork entrance, providing access to all the principal living areas. The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a fabulous space with a large island with seating, fitted wall and base units, and fully integrated Bosch appliances; patio doors provide access to the garden. To the rear of the property is the formal sitting room with a feature fireplace and multiple windows, flooding the room with natural light.

A separate utility room with w/c, a home office, and a useful study with a log burner complete the ground floor.

There are four bedrooms, all with integrated storage on the first floor, with a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook with a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, as well as a walk-in dressing area and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with underfloor heating and free-standing bath. There is further loft access to the second-floor attic.

The property is approached via an electronically operated gated entrance leading to the double garage and parking area with space for multiple cars. The garage is split over three floors with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, garage space on the ground floor with a storage and garden store on the lower ground floor.

The extensive grounds include a formal garden mainly laid to lawn with lovely terrace areas with seating. The grounds are enclosed and bordered by enchanting woodland and hedges to the fields beyond. In all, the property extends to about 13.52 acres.
