On entering through the gates to the property, one is welcomed by the large and level garden that sweeps around three sides of the property, surrounded by mature trees and interspersed with flowing borders and a small rose garden immediately in front of the house. It provides a private and serene feel, especially when at the rear of the property, where the gardens meet open farmland and enjoy far reaching rural views that gently slope off towards woodland beyond. Also at the rear of the property is a one bedroom cottage that benefits from these fantastic views, as well as a private and maintenance free garden of its own. The main house offers light and airy accommodation which is enhanced by many original features. These include sash windows, polished flagstone floors in the hall and kitchen/breakfast room and fireplaces in the principle reception rooms, as well as polished parquet flooring in the dining room. A well-appointed kitchen opens into the garden and has granite work surfaces over wooden cabinets and has fully fitted appliances to include an electric Aga. A wide staircase leads to a large and open landing leading to all the double bedrooms, three with en suite shower rooms, and a super family bathroom with a double ended bath and a separate shower cubicle.
