A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has an inner door opening through to the sitting/dining room.
The property’s main reception room, the sitting/dining room is finely proportioned, with two windows at the front looking out over the stunning gardens. The sitting room incorporates a pretty fireplace with shelved alcoves on either side, exposed beams, plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and the staircase to the first floor, with a storage cupboard beneath.

A door from the dining area then leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching oak floor and wall units. This dual-aspect room includes the boiler for the oil-fired central heating, further built-in storage and continues into the adjoining living room. The second of three reception rooms, the living room is versatile and could be utilised as a separate dining room if desired. Also with windows to the front and rear, the living room gives access to a useful utility room with a WC, and through to the family room via a small inner hall. The family room is generous in size with a window and an external door to the front of the house. A second staircase from the inner hall then rises to a home office or fourth bedroom. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both with a front aspect (facing south) with a wonderful outlook. The bedrooms on this level are separated by a central family bathroom. A staircase then provides access to the second floor, where there is one further double bedroom, a shower room and entry into accessible loft storage.

OUTSIDE
Approached from Barrow Lane, a gated entrance at the rear of the property leads to a block paved driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The driveway then leads to a detached double garage which is partly divided, with two ‘up and over’ doors at the front, an inner door, a window on each side, light and power. There is an area of garden to the rear, mainly laid to lawn with plenty of space for seating. The oil tank for the central heating is also located on this side of the property.
