The sitting room enjoys a commanding outlook over the garden and paddock through a large picture window, complemented by an electric fire that adds warmth and atmosphere. Double doors open into a conservatory, an inviting space from which to enjoy the south easterly facing garden and the paddock beyond, throughout the year. From here, steps lead down to the garden, while additional doors provide access to a practical courtyard area, ideal for laundry and day-to-day tasks. The modern kitchen includes a range cooker featuring an electric hob, an integrated dishwasher and an under-counter fridge, and is supported by a useful adjoining utility room that also houses the boiler. A separate dining room offers another beautifully framed rural view with double doors leading to the garden. The ground floor further benefits from a generous bedroom with built-in storage, a wet room and an additional separate shower room, making the layout well suited to accessible living if required. Upstairs, the principal bedroom features ample built-in storage, dual-aspect windows and a modern en suite shower room. The second first-floor bedroom is equally light-filled, with double-aspect views, excellent storage and its own contemporary en suite shower room. Outside, the property extends to approximately 3.68 acres, including a large field to the front, a pond and garden area, and a paddock to the rear. There is a double garage with workshop space and electrics, while the driveway runs adjacent to a neighbouring access.
