To the rear of the home, the spacious kitchen/dining room enjoys lovely views across the gardens and the surrounding countryside beyond, creating an ideal space for both family life and entertaining. Rich in period charm, the room is centred around an impressive Blue Lias stone inglenook with an exposed oak bressummer beam, incorporating a traditional AGA and creating a wonderful focal point.

An oak stable door opens into the inviting living room, where a substantial fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove provides a cosy centrepiece. Enjoying a dual aspect, including patio doors opening onto the rear seating area, the room is bathed in natural light while taking full advantage of the attractive views across the surrounding countryside.

An attractive oak staircase rises to the first floor landing, where further built-in storage cupboards provide practical space. There are three generous double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens or surrounding countryside, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Beautifully established and thoughtfully arranged, the gardens comprise a substantial gravelled seating area leading onto an expansive level lawn bordered by mature hedging and trees, creating a wonderful degree of privacy.

For those with an interest in gardening or self-sufficiency, there is a productive vegetable plot, greenhouse, timber storage sheds, a wood store and a chicken run. A generous parking area provides ample off road parking and is securely enclosed behind traditional double five-bar gates.

The property also benefits from a useful external store room to the eastern side, while the western side offers excellent potential for extension, with planning permission approved to demolish of existing lean-to and erection of two storey side extension.

**Agents Note:**
The property benefits from a shared right of access with two neighbouring properties. The current owners, together with the adjoining owners, are in the process of formalising a new and improved shared access route, which has already been constructed to the southern boundary of the properties. Once the legal documentation has been completed and registered with HM Land Registry, the existing access will be permanently closed and the new access will become the sole shared driveway. All associated legal and physical works required to complete this arrangement will be undertaken at the current owners' expense prior to completion, leaving nothing for an incoming purchaser to arrange or fund.

**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. 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. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
