The property is approached via an in and out wide driveway, with timber double gates to either end and from the moment the oak front doors open into the hallway, it is apparent that great care and thought has been given to the layout and design of this lovely home. With oak flooring and joinery and underfloor heating to the ground floor, the principal rooms radiate from the reception hall and offer a delightful dining room with wood burning stove, excellent drawing room with handsome stone Minster fireplace, good sized study and family room, all of which enjoy views over the garden and countryside to the rear. As you would expect with a home of this calibre, the focal heart of the property is the outstanding open plan dual aspect kitchen with extensive ran ge of hand-made units, smart black four oven Aga and comprehensive range of appliances which include Neff Oven and induction hob, wine fridge and American fridge/freezer. The oak framed orangery style breakfast/living area, open plan to the kitchen, with deep windows and French doors, provides a lovely area in which to relax and enjoy a meal, whilst overlooking the garden and countryside vista. The first floor accommodation is approached by a purpose made solid oak staircase which rises to the landing and gives access to an outstanding principal bedroom suite with the bedroom having windows to both front and rear, plus fitted wardrobes, in addition to which is a walk in wardrobe closet, separate store plus beautifully equipped en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, three en suites, plus family bathroom. Bedrooms 4 and 5 are currently utilised as a bedroom, dressing room and en suite, but could easily revert solely to bedroom use if required. To complete the picture, there is a substantial detached garage with self- contained two bedroom apartment above, which would provide ideal guest accommodation. The gardens to the Thatchings lie to the rear and side and have an enviable westerly aspect with an extensive terrace, providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining whilst watching the setting sun!
