This remarkable residence combines timeless charm with modern comfort and boasts breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding open countryside — a true haven for those seeking space, tranquility, and a luxurious countryside lifestyle.
Steeped in character and set behind a generous driveway, this stunning home immediately impresses with its handsome stone façade and welcoming entrance porch, which leads through to a beautiful, inviting hallway. From here, the home flows into a series of generously proportioned, versatile living areas.
The formal lounge is a particularly striking space, complete with an exposed brick chimney breast housing a cosy log-burning stove – the perfect focal point for family gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire. French doors lead seamlessly into the sun room, which features a magnificent double-glazed roof lantern and stylish bi-folding doors that open onto a generous patio area. Windows provide uninterrupted views of the garden and beyond, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
A separate family room also enjoys access to the garden via patio doors and features a traditional-style fireplace with another log burner, making it a wonderfully warm and inviting space ideal for relaxed living or entertaining guests.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive open-plan dining kitchen — a true statement space. With exposed timber beams to the ceiling and a comprehensive range of classic country-style units, this dual-aspect room combines rustic charm with modern convenience. It includes built-in cooking appliances, a central island perfect for food preparation or casual dining, and ample room for a dining table. It’s a setting that invites both daily family meals and entertaining alike. Completing the ground floor is a generously sized study, ideal for home working, and a well-appointed guest WC.
To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to the luxurious, dual-aspect master bedroom suite, featuring a stylishly appointed en-suite shower room and elevated countryside views. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfort and character, as well as a traditional-style family bathroom with mains-fed shower over the bath.
Externally, the grounds surrounding the property are equally impressive. A sweeping driveway offers ample off-street parking and leads to an attached garage, while an attractively maintained lawned garden to the front enhances the kerb appeal. To the rear, a formal garden complete with lawn and multiple patio seating areas offers an idyllic outdoor retreat for enjoying the serene surroundings.
Adding even further value and versatility is the attached stable block, which is currently utilised as a home gym and games room but could easily be reinstated for equestrian use if required.
The property also offers the opportunity to purchase approximately 6 acres of grazing land subject to offers in the region of £25.000. This acreage offers scope for grazing, smallholding, or further development, subject to any necessary planning consents.
