The property itself offers ideal family accommodation, and having been extensively upgraded and extended in the last 20 years is presented in excellent order and includes extensive original outbuildings.
An impressive tree lined drive is accessed via electric wrought iron gates, setting the tone for this superb property. The sweeping drive follows the curvature of the landscaping, wrapping around the far side of the property and beyond to the rear.

The kitchen has been well fitted with an excellent range of units and central island, with the room being extended to create a large open plan space suitable for separate areas for dining and lounge furniture. A charming bright red electric AGA adds personality to the space and ties the spaces together. To the rear of the room there is a utility room and cloakroom.
Also on the ground floor, is the principal bedroom, which like the lounge, boasts far reaching front aspect views. The room benefits further from glazed patio doors to the garden, wall to wall built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room including under floor heating, double sinks, wc and shower enclosure.

On the upper floor is an incredibly spacious landing, with built-in cupboards running the whole length, offering unparalleled storage space, and a reading nook below the velux window. There is an additional walk-in cupboard with light.
Viewers will undoubtedly be impressed by the views which can be enjoyed from the large bedroom/office, featuring a vaulted ceiling and Juliet balcony. This room offers great versatility to the home, making an envious bedroom or impressive home office/studio. The accommodation is completed by a generous bedroom, which has dual aspect velux windows and ample space for free standing furniture.
Outside, the property is set within approximately two and a half acres of superb landscaped garden grounds, mainly laid to grass areas with an immaculate range of rockeries, shrubs, bushes and mature trees. There are two peaceful patio areas accessible from the family room and principal bedroom respectively. A hexagonal summerhouse can be found in the far corner, allowing for secluded seating.
A large double garage is found within the original estate wall and is fitted with light, power and an electric up and over door.
