Property The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a door leading into the comfortable living room.

This charming reception space features useful alcove shelving and a log burner set within an exposed brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting room in which to relax.

From here, the accommodation opens into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, undoubtedly the heart of the home.

The bespoke kitchen has been carefully designed around a large central island with quartz work surface and is complemented by an excellent range of Shaker-style cabinetry.

Integrated appliances include a range-style hob, double oven, extractor fan, integrated fridge/freezer and separate drinks fridge, with further space for small appliances and bin storage.

The result is a highly practical yet sociable space, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. Engineered wood flooring with electric underfloor heating add warmth, character and continuity.

Large double doors open directly onto the private rear garden, cabin/garden room and outdoor entertaining areas, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

An adjoining utility room provides a practical extension to the kitchen, with space for a dishwasher and washing machine, together with a butler sink and drainer, and direct side access to the side elevation.

A useful storage cupboard houses the gas combination boiler and provides additional space for everyday essentials. While a ground-floor cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two generous doubles and a well-proportioned single bedroom.

The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with double doors opening to a Juliet balcony and bringing in excellent natural light.

The room is further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe and a modern en-suite shower room with marble wash hand basin and vanity unit.

The beautifully appointed family bathroom provides a luxurious retreat, featuring a large walk-in shower, marble wash hand basin set upon a stylish vanity unit and a freestanding clawfoot bath.

Outside At the front of the house is approached from ‘Church Walk’, a service road off Bear Hill which runs behind the village’s memorial green and provides additional on-street parking.

The property is set back behind a small fore garden and includes a side driveway with EV charger and outdoor tap.

Double driveway gates lead to a further parking area/yard and timber workshop to the side of the property which has a connection to mains electricity.

This gated area also provides direct access to the utility room via a side door, making it ideal or cleaning off muddy boots (and paws) after a countryside walk.

The private rear garden is accessed either from the gated driveway/yard or directly from the kitchen/dining/family room or via the expansive double doors, providing a seamless flow between the internal and external entertaining / accommodation spaces.

A patio extends across the rear of the property, ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining, while wide sandstone steps and walling lead up to the remainder of the garden.

Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, shrubs and trees, the garden offers an excellent degree of greenery and privacy.

Informal stone pathways and a circular paved seating area add further interest and create additional places from which to enjoy the peaceful setting.

At the far end of the garden is a substantial timber cabin/garden room with its own en-suite shower room and WC, approached across the lawn and benefiting from a private decked terrace.

With electric storage heating, mains water, sewerage and power supplies, this versatile additional space offers excellent potential for use as a home office, studio, gym, hobby room or accommodation, subject to individual requirements.
