Across the hall is a character home office with features including revealed beams and a timber staircase pillar - a perfect work-from-home space.

The lounge is a true showpiece: a room of outstanding character anchored by a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a thick-set beam and stove. Flagstone flooring, exposed timbers and a beamed ceiling complete this atmospheric space, ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings by the fire.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning farmhouse-style kitchen, designed for both function and family. Featuring an Aga, gas hob, and microwave, the bespoke cabinetry includes a twin ceramic sink beneath a garden-view window. A walk-in pantry adds convenience, while the decorative 'Excelsior 1890' range serves as a striking character centrepiece.

The generous dining area, set on a flagstone floor, is perfect for gatherings large and small.

Off the kitchen, an elegant dining room with beamed ceiling, skylights, tiled floor, and French doors to the garden creates the perfect setting for dinner parties and celebrations.

A converted oversized double garage now serves as a versatile cinema/games room-an expansive space for relaxation, entertainment, or a home studio.
