A further living room showcases an original fireplace, adding to the home’s period charm, while a rear entrance hallway with a striking oak door leads into a spacious rear porch area. Adjacent to this is a versatile office or study, which could easily serve as an additional reception room if desired. Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from excellent storage. The main bedroom enjoys a stylish en-suite complete with both a bath and separate shower cubicle. The contemporary family bathroom has been refitted to a high standard and features a freestanding bath alongside a separate shower cubicle, creating a luxurious yet practical space. Externally, the property sits on a generous plot surrounded by countryside, offering a peaceful and private setting.

Anti-Money Laundering & ID Checks Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler or Guild365, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £45.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.

Garden The property sits on a substantial plot, with a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Accessed via double gates, the driveway offers an added sense of security. A detached garage provides useful additional storage. The garden wraps around the property and is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by a variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is also a paved patio seating area and a garden shed. The standout feature, however, is the stunning rural views that can be enjoyed from the grounds.
