This adaptable area is as ideal for party entertaining as it is for quiet family evenings. The spacious kitchen includes, amongst other features, an iconic 4 door Aga with additional Aga oven and gas hobs, a hot water tap, a large island with breakfast bar and granite worktops, and Miele appliances. To the front of the house there are two reception rooms with bay windows and feature working fireplaces.

Access to the attic is from the landing, and the property has a lawful development approval for an attic conversion into another bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room. Externally, the property is approached by a gravel drive providing ample off road parking. Through the side gate there is under-grass webbing to allow for year-round access to the garage which is towards the bottom of the garden. The main garden is to the rear and while predominantly laid to lawn, has a variety of mature trees and hedging with border planting and shrubs. The garden is broken into zones, giving a great sense of interest, and at the back of the plot, hidden behind a yew hedge, is the vegetable garden complete with green house, raised beds and watering system. In all the plot is around 0.378 acres. The south facing roof of the house has solar panels which generate income as well as reducing electrical expenses. To the south side of the main house is the Coach House, a two-floor annex which provides a self-sufficient space, perfect for guests staying for longer periods. It has a double bedroom, living space and kitchen, and a shower room. Having been recently used as a working from home base, the main house has high speed fibre-optic, and the Coach House has hard-wired Ethernet. This wiring extends up the garden where the owners have planned to convert the garage into a studio. The property has planning permission granted on 13 Feb 2019 to extend. For details, please see:
