OVERVIEW:

A panelled wooden front door attractively surrounded by bright panes of coloured glass, beckons you through to the entrance hall, where the original function of the building is evident in the charming stable divide and door - complete with its authentic brass latch - all of which has been fastidiously preserved. To the floor are mellow fossil-limestone flags, which similarly extend throughout the dining kitchen and snug. From the hall, a well-proportioned study or occasional fourth bedroom, with oak block flooring arranged in an intricate herringbone pattern, looks out over the crunch gravel driveway, home to a most splendid Ginkgo tree and accommodating up to eight vehicles with ease.

The light and airy dining kitchen forms a striking hub of the home, with bespoke fitted cabinetry in a timeless, traditional design accompanied by an integrated dishwasher, twin butler sink and space for a range style cooker. Painted exposed brick slips to one wall, rhythmically punctuated by frames of textured glazing allowing sunlight to stream through, emphasises the elevated ceiling height. Opposing French doors open invitingly to the walled courtyard garden area port, its beds and borders bursting with a colourful mix of established shrubs and herbaceous perennials under planted by spring bulbs, interlaced by meandering brick paths and terraces, designed to dining and relaxation.

A well-equipped utility room with terracotta flooring and Belfast sink, provides room/plumbing for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer, together with additional counter space and open shelving.

A cosy snug- most recently used as a playroom - connects to a wide corridor with half-panelled walls and planked oak flooring, complete with a delightful reading nook looking out over the garden and useful cloakroom. To the far end a door opens through to a grandly sized sitting room encompassing a Clearview log burner set atop a slate hearth, its elegant bay window yielding yet another fine garden view.

The first floor accommodation is similarly impressive, comprising three double sized bedrooms, linked by a practical hallway. To one end is a striking wet room with eye-catching chequerboard marble tiled floor, perfectly complemented by glazed terracotta wall tiling from Mandarin Stone, a walk-in shower enclosure and period style Silverdale sanitary ware.

To the opposite end of the first floor is a bathroom certain to charm on all levels, encompassing a double-ended roll top bath with ball and claw feet, WC and bespoke washstand fashioned from an antique singer sewing machine stand.

A capacious loft, boarded for maximum use, can be accessed from one of the bedrooms via a large hatch with drop-down ladder.

Externally, a historic potting shed set within the walled courtyard garden has been cleverly reimagined as a garden room/gym, insulated from the elements via modern Crittall style double glazing, enabling all year round use.

A gate from the walled courtyard garden welcomes you through to a further garden space, also walled and ostensibly laid to level lawn with a glorious outlook over the surrounding AONB countryside. A sheltered , stone paved terrace accompanying and a productive vegetable patch a further thoughtful addition.
