A new owner now has the opportunity to complete the works to their own taste and specification.</p><p>The accommodation begins with an <strong>entrance porch</strong>, leading into a large and characterful reception room. This impressive space features a bespoke stone bar with wooden top and a wood-burning stove set within a stone surround with timber lintel.

A rear-aspect window enjoys views over the garden. The kitchen opens into a versatile <strong>dining area</strong>, which could equally serve as a study, benefitting from dual-aspect windows and an attractive arched opening into the sitting room.</p><p>The <strong>sitting room</strong> is a cosy and welcoming space, featuring discreet built-in cupboards and an external door leading outside.</p><p>To the first floor, a useful <strong>attic store </strong>with sloped ceiling is accessed via a door near the top of the staircase, offering additional flexible space. The landing leads to three <strong>double bedrooms</strong>, two of which are front-facing, while the third enjoys a dual aspect with far-reaching views.

A modern <strong>shower room</strong>, arranged in a Jack and Jill style between the landing and bedroom two, is fitted with a shower, WC and vanity basin.</p><p>Externally, the property is complemented by <strong>generous gardens</strong> extending to the side and rear, predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by established shrubs and flower beds. The elevated position affords lovely open views, while a recently installed oil tank is positioned within the side garden.</p><p>A <strong>detached single garage</strong> provides excellent storage or workshop space, with a useful outhouse adjoining to the rear.
