sized entrance hall from which access can be gained

to the cloakroom, breakfast kitchen and living room.

The breakfast kitchen is of a good size, has space for

table and chairs and also has the benefit of a rear

porch/utility room located just off it. The living room

is a lovely room with a Cheshire brick fireplace as its

primary focal point. Located just off the living room

running open plan to it is a small sitting room area.

There is an inner hall which is located at the back of

the house with doors leading to a conservatory and

dining room. The conservatory has double glazed

windows that overlooks the garden and exceptional

views beyond. The dining room is a fantastic

proportion extending to over 20ft in length.

a particular feature being of a very generous size,

having a separate walk in dressing room and en-suite

bathroom and also magnificent views that overlook

the gardens and far reaching views of countryside.

There are three further bedrooms, two of which are

comfortable doubles, whilst the fourth is a smaller

single. The family bathroom which completes the

accommodation is fitted to a good standard with a

Heritage and Roca suite.

As already mentioned the external environment is

outstanding. To the front of the property there is a

gravelled and cobbled set driveway providing ample

off road parking and turning space for three vehicles

tranquillity and beauty of the garden cannot be

The current owner bought additional land which is

accessed directly from the garden. This comprises a

four acre field and approximately three acres of

beautiful woodland. The woodland provides a

wonderful natural environment which is a joy to

stroll through and provides the perfect setting in

which to relax at the end of a working day. It is ideal

for those with an equestrian interest or simply those

who are seeking a property with land around them.

The author has sought to highlight the many striking,

beautiful and distinctive features that this house

enjoys. It is only though when it is inspected that

purchasers will truly recognise its full appeal and

indeed potential. The property has been assessed at

a very realistic level to take account of the fact that

some modernisation works are required in the house

and a strong level of market interest is anticipated.
