A home filled with wonderful family memories, it has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed for over three decades, and now offers a lovely opportunity for a new family to make it their own. Offering generous and versatile accommodation, complemented by beautiful established gardens and a substantial workshop with its own separate gated access, this is a rather special property, coming to the market for the first time since its construction.
An entrance porch opens into a welcoming L-shaped entrance hall, with stairs turning and rising to the first floor, together with a conveniently positioned downstairs cloakroom, fitted with WC and hand wash basin.
The fitted dining kitchen is a lovely family space and has undoubtedly been the heart of the home over the years. Thoughtfully arranged with an extensive range of fitted units, generous work surfaces and plenty of room for a family dining table, it is a wonderful setting for everyday family life, from breakfast together to those leisurely Sunday lunches with all the family. Windows overlook the beautiful gardens, providing a delightful outlook throughout the changing seasons. A practical utility area forms part of the kitchen, offering additional storage and space for laundry appliances.
A separate dining room provides an attractive setting for family gatherings and more formal occasions, whilst the particularly spacious sitting room is a wonderfully welcoming reception room, with a feature fireplace incorporating a gas fire, creating an inviting focal point. Large window allows natural light to fill the room, with lovely views extending across the gardens towards the open fields beyond and patio doors providing access to outside. There is ample space for comfortable seating, making this the perfect room in which to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Completing the ground floor is a dedicated study, ideal for those working from home, yet equally suited to a children's playroom, snug or additional reception room. A connecting door leads directly into the attached double garage, a particularly practical arrangement for everyday family life. The property has LPG central heating, with the boiler located within the garage and an LPG storage tank serving the heating system in the front garden.
Stairs turn and rise to a spacious first-floor landing, enjoying excellent natural light and providing access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

A peaceful and inviting bedroom with ample room for substantial furniture, it is complemented by a separate dressing room area with built-in storage, together with a beautifully appointed en-suite. The en-suite is attractively fitted with a shower enclosure, hand wash basin and WC, further enhanced by the comfort of underfloor heating.
Bedrooms two and three are both generously proportioned double bedrooms, offering ample space for bedroom furniture, with bedroom two enjoying lovely views across the gardens and surrounding countryside to the rear, whilst bedroom three overlooks the front of the property. Bedroom four is a smaller double bedroom, also enjoying a pleasant outlook to the rear and benefiting from built-in wardrobe. This versatile room would be equally well suited as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.

The gardens are a true delight and undoubtedly one of the most special features of this lovely home. Lovingly established over many years, they offer a wonderful combination of colourful planting, generous lawns, peaceful seating areas and productive garden spaces, all enjoying a lovely sense of privacy with open countryside providing a beautiful backdrop.
Immediately adjoining the house is an attractive sun terrace, perfectly positioned for relaxing or entertaining whilst overlooking the delightful garden pond. An established wisteria climbs the rear of the property, creating a particularly beautiful display during the flowering months.
The gardens open to lawns, framed by an abundance of mature shrubs, flowering borders and ornamental trees, with stepping-stone pathways meandering through the lawns and inviting you to explore the different areas of the garden. A further circular sun terrace provides a lovely place to sit and enjoy the far-reaching views, perhaps with an afternoon cup of tea or a glass of wine on a summer evening.
A summer house nestles within the garden, offering a peaceful retreat for a quiet afternoon with a book or simply somewhere to enjoy the surroundings. There is ample space for growing children to play, family gatherings and summer entertaining, with plenty of quieter corners in which to relax and appreciate the tranquillity. The greenhouse, and selected garden furniture are also included in the sale.
Tucked away within the established hedgerow, an attractive archway provides a delightful surprise, opening into a separate enclosed vegetable garden. This lovely productive area is ideal for those who enjoy growing their own produce and adds another dimension to these already beautiful grounds.
Beyond the vegetable garden, a gate leads into a substantial additional area of grounds, where an impressive workshop, complete with electricity, provides an exceptionally useful and versatile space. The workshop is complemented by a garden store and covered storage area.
A particularly outstanding feature is that this entire workshop area benefits from its own separate gated entrance and long driveway directly from the road, allowing access completely independently of the main house and its gardens. This is a tremendous advantage and opens up a wealth of possibilities for those requiring workshop facilities, extensive storage, space for hobbies, a collection of vehicles or other interests, without interfering with the privacy and enjoyment of the family home, subject to any necessary consents.
The property also benefits from solar panels, providing an additional practical feature to this already versatile home.
The individual arrangement of the grounds adds to the character of the property, creating a lovely separation between the established gardens surrounding the house and the additional workshop area beyond.
With its generous accommodation, magical gardens, far-reaching countryside views, extensive parking and the exceptional benefit of separately accessed workshop facilities, this is a rather special property, offering a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a truly delightful setting
