Interior The accommodation is arranged across two floors and offers a particularly flexible layout. A generous entrance hall leads to two ground-floor bedrooms, a shower room and separate WC, making this level suitable for family members who prefer single-level living. To the rear is a spacious living room opening into the dining area, while the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys direct garden access. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, including a sizeable principal room and a rear bedroom overlooking the garden and fields beyond. The home is clean and usable but now requires modernisation, giving the next owner an excellent opportunity to update the décor, kitchen and finishes to suit their own style.
Exterior The plot is a defining feature of the property. To the front, a lawned garden with established planting creates a traditional approach, with side access leading to the rear. Behind the house is an exceptionally long and wide garden, beginning with a patio and opening onto a substantial lawn with mature shrubs, trees and a timber storage shed. The garden backs directly onto open fields, creating a terrific far-reaching outlook and a strong sense of space and privacy. Its size also gives buyers plenty of scope to redesign the landscaping and create distinct areas for entertaining, play or gardening.
