With brick and flint elevations and in recent years sympathetically extended, this period property is arranged over two floors with an abundance of natural light and space. Upon entering the house there is a good sized entrance lobby with an exposed flint wall leading through to a stunning 28 ft long vaulted Neptune kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating and French doors leading to the south facing patio and garden. Beyond, there is a large, dual aspect sitting room and separate family room, both with feature fireplaces and fitted with log burners. Completing the ground floor there is a large boot room, cloakroom, internal hall and a substantial fully fitted utility room. Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom, there are a further three bedrooms and a further family bathroom. Including the annexe, five bedrooms in total.
Accessed directly from the kitchen and sitting room, the south facing patio offers ample space for al fresco dining overlooking the landscaped south facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of borders and raised planters overlooking an adjacent paddock. The self contained flint built annexe is a particular feature, located at the bottom of the garden, with a newly fitted en suite shower room making it ideal, in our opinion, for air B&B or guests to stay. Beyond is a large storeroom and off street parking accessed by a shared gravel driveway.
