Entering through the front porch, you step into a welcoming hallway where ample built-in storage cupboards provide everyday practicality. From here, the home opens into a bright and generously proportioned lounge, with a wide front-facing window drawing in natural light. A striking stone feature wall houses a fireplace, creating both character and a strong focal point. The space flows naturally through a stone archway into the dining area, where another large window enhances the sense of light and openness, making this a versatile setting for both relaxation and entertaining.

The kitchen sits to the rear and is fitted with modern shaker-style cabinetry, oak worktops and tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances and a built-in oven are neatly incorporated, while a serving hatch links through to the dining room. Plumbing for utilities has been thoughtfully included, and large windows together with a glazed rear door not only fill the room with natural light but also connect it to the garden. A warm wooden floor completes the look, combining style with practicality.

The home offers three well-sized bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a further spacious single. One of the doubles enjoys far-reaching views across the rear fields, and all are naturally bright with carpet flooring providing comfort underfoot. Supporting these are two bathroom spaces. The first is a family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite including a panelled bath with overhead shower, pedestal basin and WC, with a window adding natural light. The second is a practical wet room design, finished with non-slip flooring, a walk-in shower with a wall-mounted seat, WC, wash basin and twin windows, creating an airy and functional space.

Outside, the plot extends to around 0.26-acre (stms) and is set back from the country lane. The south-facing rear garden presents a generous lawned area bordered with mature trees and planting, offering open views across the surrounding fields. A raised terrace runs alongside the house, with a covered section providing a useful outdoor space. Enclosed by fencing, the garden also features direct access to the countryside beyond, creating an appealing setting with both privacy and far-reaching rural outlooks. The space is large in scale and can be accessed directly from the garage, enhancing convenience.

To the front, a generous gravel driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the double garage, which is accompanied by an attached timber workshop and a storage area. An established pond forms a focal point in the frontage, while a mature tree line gives excellent privacy from the lane.

Additional benefits include double glazing, together with solar panels that are owned outright and offer scope for connection by a new owner.
