This also includes an attractive sandstone fireplace with a log burner and fitted shelving and is currently in use as a family room/second sitting room. However, it would be ideal for those more formal occasions where you could seat at least a dozen guests. On the lower ground floor, you will find the utility room which comfortably accommodates several large appliances whilst providing essential hanging and drying space. In addition to this there is also a large boiler room and substantial private office with varied and versatile bespoke storage.

While there is access to the rest of the second floor accommodation from the dressing room there is also the main staircase that leads to the second floor landing and a contemporary shower room serving two double bedrooms that provide a panoramic rural vista or could perhaps a bedroom and sitting room for a teenager wanting a little independence and private space. Outside, as well as the courtyard with access to the garage, there is a nearly 19ft long workshop with a pine boarded ceiling, windows, electrics and lighting so could always be converted into a games room/bar or offices for anyone working from home who needs peace and quiet. In order to provide complete privacy and security the beautifully landscaped garden is surrounded by six-foot-high fencing and hornbeam hedging so is completely secure for children and animals. It includes a truly charming and relaxing sunken garden seating area with delightful, raised lily ponds bordered by well-manicured lawns and shrub beds overlooking farmland as well as a large terrace for outdoor entertaining and barbecues.
