Amongst the many impressive features that the property offers is a wine cellar and a fully self-contained annexe, which is ideal for visiting guests and has also provided a useful source of additional income as a holiday let over recent years. There is also a delightful south-facing walled garden at the rear, with a gated driveway and off-road parking for a further vehicle.

Visitors are welcomed into the spacious reception hall, with exposed original floor boards and a lockable staircase which leads down to the wine cellar.

Across the hall, the dining area provides another warm and cosy family space, with English oak flooring, a wood burner and an open-aspect to the superb kitchen/breakfast area, which is another of the house's most striking features. The room was extended and re-configured by the current owners, creating a vaulted glazed roof, which floods the space with natural light. The kitchen includes an extensive range of bespoke storage units under granite work surfaces with a range cooker, a large pantry, a separate larder cupboard and a range of appliances. At the back of the kitchen, the well-sized laundry room provides a further range of bespoke storage units and useful utility space, with a door into the ground floor cloakroom and a stable door opening out to the garden.

Bedroom 3 also offers an en-suite shower room, with a cloakroom adjacent on the landing. Bedroom 4 is another comfortable double room which is currently utilised as a dressing room, with fitted wardrobes extending around three walls, providing an extensive range of hanging, shelving and drawer space.
