**Accommodation**
The property is entered via an impressive reception hall, a wonderfully proportioned space that immediately sets the tone and showcases the character of the home. With its striking herringbone flooring and deep-silled windows, the hall offers an immediate ‘wow factor’, while stairs rise to the first floor. A door leads to a useful cloakroom, and the hall flows naturally through to the kitchen/breakfast room beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room is a characterful and welcoming space, fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units set beneath wooden worktops, with exposed wooden beams adding to its charm. An Aga forms a traditional focal point, complemented by a built-in oven and hob, along with space for under-counter appliances and a freestanding fridge/freezer. Karndean flooring flows throughout, and generous space allows for relaxed dining. With views over the garden, and door providing direct access outside, reinforcing this room as the practical heart of the home. Steps rise to the fantastic-sized formal dining room, where a striking inglenook fireplace takes centre stage, now fitted with a newly installed wood-burning stove. Large mullion windows with a window seat beneath flood the room with natural light and further enhance the abundance of character on display. With its wonderful sense of grandeur, this much-loved space provides an exceptional setting for family meals and entertaining. A handcrafted door leads through to the sitting room, an inviting and characterful reception room providing a more intimate setting. Exposed beams and brickwork add depth and texture, while a dual-aspect window allows natural light to flow throughout. An impressive open fireplace with a multifuel stove forms a beautiful focal point, said to have been reclaimed from Butleigh Court and proudly displaying the Rose and Portcullis motif.

Returning to the reception hall, the staircase rises to the first-floor landing, which provides access to two well-proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms are bright and airy, with one currently used by the vendor as a hair studio, offering excellent flexibility of use. The landing itself is a particularly attractive feature, boasting high ceilings, exposed brickwork and mullion windows, which formed part of the original external wall. The family bathroom is neatly presented and comprises a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC. Continuing to the next floor, two further bedrooms are found. The principal bedroom is a fabulous size, offering an impressive sense of space, with a fireplace inset and built-in wardrobe storage, creating a true sanctuary in itself. A further well-proportioned double bedroom, benefitting from built-in cupboard space, completes this level. Finally, rising to the third floor, the remaining two bedrooms are located. These generous and versatile rooms enjoy Velux windows and retained period features, offering flexible accommodation suitable for a variety of uses.

**Outside**
The rear garden is a quintessential country garden, with a paved patio extending from the rear elevation, providing an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Steps rise to a generous area of lawn, beautifully framed by a plethora of well-stocked flower beds and mature shrubs, creating a colourful and established setting. A summer house offers a peaceful spot to sit and relax while enjoying the surroundings, with additional sheds providing useful storage. A side gate gives convenient access to the front of the property.

To the front, the property benefits from an off-road parking space, with two further allocated parking spaces located a short distance from the property, providing practical and convenient parking arrangements.

**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.
