A Blue Lias stone fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, creates an attractive focal point, while cleverly designed bespoke shelving conceals a hidden doorway leading to a private study—perfect for home working or a quiet retreat.
Positioned opposite, the impressive kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. Fitted with a range of quality hardwood cabinetry topped with oak work surfaces, it incorporates integrated appliances including a slimline dishwasher, washing machine and electric oven with induction hob. Limestone flooring and a Charnwood wood-burning stove, set within a traditional inglenook fireplace, add warmth and character, while a generous central island provides additional preparation space and storage. There is ample room for a family dining table overlooking the garden, and a door leads through to the practical side porch, where there is space for coats and boots alongside the oil-fired boiler, with direct access to both the driveway and rear garden.
The first floor offers four individually styled bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks and timber flooring. The guest bedroom benefits from its own beautifully finished en-suite shower room, complete with tiled walls, timber panelling and a characterful sliding barn door. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

A gravel driveway to the side of the property provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the double garage, which benefits from twin up-and-over doors together with a pedestrian side entrance.
The gardens are a particular highlight. A productive side garden features raised vegetable beds, gravel pathways and a charming picket fence, creating an ideal space for keen gardeners. To the rear, the beautifully maintained garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, enclosed by established hedging and mature trees. Expanses of lawn are bordered by colourful planting, while a paved terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
A useful timber studio has also been added within the garden and benefits from power and lighting, making it ideal as a home office, hobby room, workshop or additional storage space.

In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications.
