The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units with fully integrated appliances and granite worktops, centred around a large island with a breakfast bar and ample space for dining and seating furniture. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the open plan reception room, a spacious and characterful area featuring exposed stone and brickwork, windows to two elevations allowing plenty of natural light, and a Charnwood multi-fuel stove.
A useful study is accessed from the entrance hall, leading through to a rear hallway that provides access to a large utility room. This space offers additional storage and plumbing for white goods and also connects to a bathroom completing the ground floor accommodation.

Three of the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which includes a whirlpool bath, separate rainfall shower, twin basins set in quartz worktop and fitted vanity units, a low-flush WC, and a heated towel rail. The fourth guest bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room.

Double timber gates open onto a gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a detached stone-built double garage with an electric door. The gravel continues around the property, leading to a range of outbuildings and including two stables and a hay/wood store.
A gravelled patio area surrounds the property, offering plenty of space for outdoor furniture and entertaining, bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds. Beyond this, the lawned garden slopes gently upwards, dotted with mature specimen trees that provide both privacy and year-round interest. A charming summerhouse with an additional patio area, power and Wi-Fi completes this idyllic outdoor setting.
