Adjacent to the sitting room is the formal dining room, an ideal space for hosting dinner parties or family gatherings with ease and sophistication.

At the heart of the home lies the beautifully designed open-plan kitchen/breakfast/garden room. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of stylish contemporary units and incorporates high-quality Siemens integrated appliances, including a double oven and dishwasher and a central island with a gas hob and additional storage beneath adds both practicality and a focal point for socialising with friends and family.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the light-filled garden room, which enjoys views across the landscaped rear garden—an ideal setting for enjoying morning coffee or quiet reflection.

Ascending from the entrance hall, a central staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing, giving access to four substantial double bedrooms, each beautifully presented and thoughtfully proportioned. The impressive dual-aspect principal bedroom offers generous accommodation and enjoys an elevated outlook over the private rear garden, paddock, and the rolling countryside beyond—framing the perfect rural vista. This serene bedroom features four built-in wardrobes, offering ample storage and is complemented by a stylishly appointed en suite shower room.

Designed for both function and indulgence, the bathroom includes a bathtub, separate shower, low-level W.C., and a vanity unit—perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Stepping out from both the sitting room and garden room, a generous stone patio provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing with a view across the beautifully landscaped rear garden. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained, the garden offers a seamless extension of the home’s living space—perfect for outdoor enjoyment throughout the seasons. Extending to approximately 0.37 acres, the garden wraps around the side and rear of the property, offering both space and seclusion. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are framed by well-stocked flower beds, mature trees, and established hedging, creating a rich tapestry of seasonal colour and providing a high degree of privacy.

Beyond the formal garden lies a substantial paddock, extending to approximately 2.485 acres, offering a rare and valuable opportunity for buyers seeking space for equestrian use, a smallholding, or simply additional land for lifestyle or business purposes. Whether you're a horse owner, hobby farmer, or someone looking to combine home and work in a countryside setting, the land presents a wealth of possibilities. Accessed via a private track that runs alongside the property, the paddock is reached through a wooden five-bar gate from the entrance of the development. This dedicated access ensures ease of movement for vehicles, equipment, or livestock without impacting the privacy of the main residence and garden. Backing directly onto open countryside, the paddock enjoys the same unspoilt rural outlook as the house itself, further enhancing the lifestyle potential and natural beauty of the setting.
