Great care and attention to detail includes the use of traditional materials to include natural oak ledged doors, limestone and oak flooring and granite working surfaces. The considered introduction of natural light has achieved a bright and spacious layout which can only be appreciated by a full inspection. Features include a reception hall with a Morso stove, a superb vaulted 6.5 metre farmhouse kitchen, utility, separate breakfast and dining rooms, a family room/home office, superb 7.75 metre formal lounge and a studio/bedroom 6 with an en-suite wet room and kitchenette adjacent. There is a ground floor double bedroom with en-suite facilities together with four first floor bedrooms, a further en suite shower room and family bathroom.

To the rear there is a large and highly private garden with comprehensive plantings and several discrete seating areas from which to enjoy the natural tranquility. To the front is a cottage garden with honeysuckle, roses, jasmine and extensive lawns.
