The formal dining room looks out over the terrace, and leads through to the kitchen, breakfast and family room. A wonderful addition to the house, this area is very light

and spacious and has under floor heating in parts. The kitchen has a good range of units, together with an Aga and a double butler’s sink and the spacious sitting room has an attractive gas burner. The partly glazed roof and wooden French doors which open out onto the terrace and is a lovely space. A boot room and WC adjoin this part of the house. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, the master bedroom has plenty of fitted cupboards and an en suite bathroom.

The gardens are very private and have fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. There is a vegetable plot and a large area of lawn to both sides of the house.
