Underwood House is a substantial detached family house, which offers over 3,750 sq. ft of flexible light and airy living space over two floors.

All the living rooms are of excellent proportion and the extensive kitchen/breakfast and family room represents the hub of the house. With its bespoke oak kitchen, large central island, black granite work surfaces and oak floors. The dining room has an antiqued natural limestone floor, beams and a working slate fireplace. The kitchen, dining room and drawing room all have double patio doors that open onto the south facing patio, whilst an additional spiral staircase leads from the rear hall to the main bedroom. Also located on the ground floor is a large bedroom with its own luxury wet room, which with the utility room, could potentially be used as an annexe, if required. Four of the five first floor bedrooms boast a sunny southerly aspect and three of the bedrooms feature en suites, which are fitted to a high standard.

The property is approached off a quiet country lane via five bar gates and over a gravel driveway, providing parking for numerous cars.

There is the option to purchase the house and garden with 1 acre of paddock adjoining to the east of the house with excellent views for those not wanting all of the land.
