AMAZING SPACES From ancient, weathered beams and exposed brickwork to a secret library door revealing a hideaway, every corner of this home tells a story and with modern luxury woven seamlessly throughout, this home is as comfortable as it is captivating and offers an atmosphere of refined country living, wrapped in character, warmth, and architectural drama.  STEP INSIDE Stepping into a thoughtful porch, there is space to decamp muddy boots after a country stroll, such a necessity in a country residence. From here you enter a stunning kitchen with practical slate floor, bespoke window shutters, crafted cabinets blending with beams, plus modern double fan ovens, an induction hob, and space for an American-style fridge freezer, allowing chefs all they need to cook up a family feast, with a large table to enjoy casual dining. It's a favourite spot in summer, remaining cool yet light - the perfect place to escape the heat of the day. The cloakroom is just to the side, and from the kitchen you step into the vast, vaulted reception room, with magnificent beam work and thoughtfully zoned spaces. A book nook or library area, with two armchairs perfectly positioned for morning papers and garden views, sits alongside a formal dining area enjoying picture window vistas of the grounds and a log burner. A music zone and a cosy sofa section by a further fireplace, overlooking trees and shrubs, make this the go-to spot in winter. The impressive fireplace runs floor to ceiling with exposed brickwork and a small staircase leading to a minstrel's gallery.
