Entering through the composite door into the reception hallway, there is a staircase to the first floor and doors off to the open plan lounge diner, bathroom, study, bedroom and kitchen. The open plan living and dining room offers oak flooring and plenty of natural light through windows on three sides, each with stone window sills. These windows provide a lovely elevated view of the surrounding countryside. A Rais log burner serves as the central feature of the room, adding warmth and character. The kitchen offers practical preparation surfaces featuring an inset composite sink with a chrome mixer tap and adjacent drainer, all complemented by matching upstands. It is well-equipped with a range of cupboards and drawers, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a freestanding fridge freezer. There is a freestanding Rangemaster Professional+ electric oven, complete with a six-ring electric hob and extractor fan. Additional storage is provided by useful pantry cupboards. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility area mirrors the kitchen's design with matching preparation surfaces, cupboards, and drawers, as well as an integrated washing machine and space for a freestanding freezer. Off the kitchen is a rear porch which features a guest cloakroom with a WC and wash hand basin, and a door leading outside.
There is a spacious double bedroom with dual aspect windows, offering plenty of natural light. This bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom, which features a tiled floor and a modern white suite. The ensuite includes a wash hand basin with a chrome mixer tap, set atop vanity base cupboard for added storage, a low-level WC and a double shower unit with a rainfall shower head. Additional features include a ladder-style heated towel rail, extractor fan, an electric shaver point and disabled door. Additionally, there is another ground floor double bedroom with dual aspect windows, as well as a versatile study, ideal for working from home or serving as an extra bedroom. Across the hallway, a well-appointed bathroom features tiled flooring and a modern white suite, including a wash hand basin with a chrome mixer tap, set atop vanity base cupboards for extra storage.
