Follow the track up to the farmhouse, set back from the outbuildings providing a private, serene entrance. On arrival to the property, step into the spacious entrance hall with eye catching feature exposed stone wall with stairs leading to the first floor, a grand space where light flows effortlessly from room to room. Turn right into the kitchen, well-equipped with wall and base units, Rangemaster oven with extractor over, one and a half stainless steel sink and space for an American style fridge/freezer. This room overlooks the pretty orchard with planted fruit trees, and leads into a utility room providing access to both a south facing section of garden with patio and a greenhouse and door to the front of the house. The utility houses the Aga oven which heats the room and is perfect for cooking throughout the winter months.
Back into the hallway, you will find the cosy, contemporary living room with bay window enjoying far reaching views. There is a log burner fire, ideal for warming up on those cooler evenings and pretty coving to ceiling, enhancing the traditional feel to this home. From the hall, step down into the dining room with patio doors leading to the main garden with views stretching beyond. This area provides a formal dining space, perfect for family meals on a weekend or hosting for special occasions while entertaining family and friends.
Adjoining the entrance hall is an inner hallway with access to two double bedrooms and family bathroom, a luxury four piece suite comprising a free standing roll top with Bristan taps and shower attachment, pedestal sink, corner shower, WC, heated ladder towel radiator and complementary tiled flooring. Both bedrooms are spacious doubles with dual aspect windows and have ample space for additional furniture.
Follow the staircase to the first floor landing, converted by the current owners to a spacious master suite; a generous double bedroom that is tastefully modernised, enjoying two velux windows overlooking the rolling fields beyond and ample eaves storage with a built in wardrobe. A latch door leads into the attractive en suite comprising a shower, pedestal sink and WC with complementary tiles and dressing area. To the right of the landing is additional eaves storage.
The real show stopping factor to this home is the wealth of land it harbours, sat within wrap around fields to the sides and rear. A private, enclosed lawn garden can be accessed from the driveway with planted borders and a pond. To the rear is a south facing patio area with greenhouse, an idyllic spot to enjoy a good book and a cool drink through the summer months. Beyond this is the orchard, planted with fruit trees while hedges line the land. To the front of the property is a farmyard, providing ample parking in addition to the driveway and three outbuildings.
