Property
The main house is accessed from four separate entrances, primarily our vendors use the stable door leading from the front patio area that opens to the kitchen/breakfast room, where the character of the building shows in abundance. Our eye is drawn to the original floor pamments and exposed timbers, whilst a window over the ceramic sink looks onto the wild flower orchard and fills the room with natural light. A range of modern yet classic units are set against timber work surfaces and space is made for a range style cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen leads to the rear lobby which becomes the utility room. A door opens to the garden with the perfectly placed lavatory adjacent, whilst at the rear of the utility we find the perfect home office space, providing the ideal spot to work within the home whilst feeling detached from the hustle and bustle of family life. Stepping back through the kitchen we enter the sitting room where again the history of the building is ever apparent. An imposing brick chimney houses the wood burning stove and offers a cosy focal point to the room, the pamment flooring continues from the kitchen and a door opens to the dining room. The formal dining room provides a central 'hub' to the home perfect for entertaining and family life alike. Light pours into the room from the westerly facing aspect further enhancing this spacious room. The fireplace houses a wood burner for display, which provides a cosy focal point to the space and our stairs rise to the primary landing. To the front a door leads into a reception hall/library which provides a link between the main house and annexe and would lend itself ideally as an addition to the annexe should that space need to be independent. A door from here leads out onto the driveway. Completing the ground floor of the main house, the most recent addition of the garden room provides a modern contrast to the original home. Accessed via French doors in the dining room this stunning room enjoys a vaulted ceiling and bi-folding doors leading into the garden, offering the perfect spot to enjoy the outside throughout the year. On the first floor the we find three double bedrooms leading off the landing and each benefiting from their own bathroom facilities. The principle bedroom is a spacious double that leads to a dressing area where we find a range of wardrobes and the bathroom. The bathroom boasts a separate bath and shower, twin sinks and a w/c. From the dressing area a linking door opens to the landing in the annexe. Back on the landing we find bedroom three, this is the smaller of these double rooms and boasts a compact shower room with wash basin and w/c whilst bedroom two set at the head of the landing is a generous double which enjoys a large en-suite bathroom.

The Annexe
Accessed from the reception hall/library in the main home we enter this large annexe via the kitchen. The fully functioning kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units that include an integrated double oven, hob and sink. Contrasting worktops, tiles and flooring complement the space whilst a window above the sink looks onto the driveway. From here we step into a large central lobby that offers a range of storage cupboards and access to both the bathroom and separate shower room. The lobby in-turn opens to the sitting/dining room of the annexe where the space really comes into its own. This vast room approaches 24.ft and is filled with natural light from its dual aspect. Stairs rise to the first floor and a cupboard below offers further storage. On the first floor the landing opens to the double bedroom as well as providing access on this level to the main home if required. The bedroom is a comfortable double enjoying fitted wardrobes and an over stairs cupboard. The annexe can be used as an integral part of the main house as the current owners use it.

Gardens & Grounds
From The Street we enter the property via an extensive driveway that passes the impressive wild flower orchard that forms the frontage of the home. The orchard is framed with established hedging and enjoys a southerly aspect. A range of fruit trees fill the space whilst wild flowers appear throughout the seasons. Here we find a green house in situ. The drive widens as we approach the frontage of this stunning home to provide ample parking and turning space in front of the range of red brick outbuildings. The outbuildings approach a total of 1000.sq.ft offering a range of working space and garaging. An EV charging point is conveniently situated at the front of the home. Heading to the rear we find an impeccably planned, landscaped entertaining area leading from the bi-folding doors to the garden room. This space echoes the attention to detail evident throughout the home where we find a variety of seating areas, raised beds and a pond enjoying the westerly aspect, perfect for the afternoon and evening sun. This area opens to the main rear garden which is laid to lawn and framed with an extensive range of flowering beds that fill the garden with colour and scent whilst being designed to be low maintenance. At the head of the plot a summer house sits adjacent to the large koi carp pond, whilst a potting shed and timber building currently serving as an observatory are set to the rear of the outbuildings.
