Now a much loved and sensitively updated family home with character throughout and particularly stylishly refitted kitchen and bathroom, and with the added benefit of timber double glazing to the front and mains gas central heating. A traditional entrance porch and hallway is positioned in between the two main reception rooms, both good size and full of character, adjacent to which is a utility room and ground floor cloakroom/WC. To the rear of the ground floor stands a magnificent kitchen with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, stylish units, breakfast bar, stone fireplace with wood‐burner, together with small pane windows and French doors to the courtyard and garden. To the first floor, a turning staircase with Georgian handrail accesses all four bedrooms, three good size with a single/study in between. A generous and luxurious bath/shower room has had a 'no expense spared' refit with roll‐top bath, attractive stone tiling and authentic fittings. Outside, further accommodation or annexe potential lies within the outbuildings to the rear of the garden, which is much deeper than what is apparent from the roadside. A fairly level and family/pet friendly lawned area leads from the courtyard to a range of buildings with many uses ‐ the detached and cladded studio, currently a music room, offers perfect office space or occasional fifth bedroom in the summer months, an adjacent stone‐built workshop and attached store (a former piggery) provides masses of storage or even the opportunity of conversion into further accommodation, subject to all the usual consents.
