This impressive and spacious period home is full of character and tastefully decorated throughout, providing versatile accommodation over two floors.

Entering the property through double doors you will feel the pressure of modern life melting away, the welcoming hallway leads to an elegant family room with chandeliers, William Morris wallpaper, stunning fireplace, and dual aspect sash windows with shutters – the current owners have celebrated many family occasions in here over the years!

A traditional door leads to a small powder room and WC, continuing along the hallway there are two further reception rooms, the study has a fresh modern interior that compliments the period features, the room is a good size with gas fire and window seating overlooking the front garden. The second reception room is bright and spacious with two large windows, and decorated in neutral colours, the feature fireplace with original mantle and log burner is the focal point of the room and creates a relaxing area for all the family. The original servants hatch remains and connects to the kitchen.

Heading back along the hallway there is a large utility room fitted with cream base and wall units, sink, electric oven and hob and plumbing for washing machine, this leads into the country style kitchen fitted with bespoke units, Belfast sink, Cream electric AGA and free-standing butchers block, the perfect spot catching up over coffee and freshly baked cake. The original servants bell sits above the hatch leading into the second reception room. The conservatory is just off the kitchen and enjoys views of the well planted garden. A barn style door from the kitchen takes you into a large boot room with built in storage and seating, this is a must have in any country home, perfect in the winter for those muddy boots! This leads to the rear of the property where there is a secluded courtyard with flowerpots bursting with colour.

To the first floor there is a small WC and spacious landing that leads to the four generous bedrooms, all of which have been recently decorated and fitted with new carpets so there should be no squabbles over who gets the biggest room – although the master bedroom is significantly bigger and has the potential to create a en-suite and dressing room from the adjoining storage room so this one should definitely be for the grown-ups!

The bathroom has been recently renovated to create a luxurious space with free standing bath, large walk-in shower, a sleek double vanity unit with His and Hers sinks, traditional style radiators with fitted towel rails and underfloor heating complete this space.

They say “it’s what’s inside that counts……” but this charming period property has extensive grounds, equestrian facilities and gardens that are just as impressive as the inside.

This impressive period property gives you all the benefits of an idyllic country home with versatile accommodation and land – without the sacrifices which come with a more remote rural setting!
