About
This charming six-bedroom period home comes to market for the first time as a private residence.

Set within just under an acre, the house is enveloped by gently sloping lawns and established trees, offering far-reaching rural views.
While not formally listed, it is recognised as a Heritage asset, preserving much of its historic character. Inside, the accommodation is both inviting and versatile.
Traditional features such as modern sash windows, original wood and flagstone flooring, along with original fireplaces, blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates.

A cosy sitting room centres around an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a Range cooker and integrated appliances, with space for both dining and relaxed seating.

Enhancing the eco credentials further is a solar array neatly tucked away within the grounds of the garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys beautiful countryside views and features its own en-suite shower room.
Two further bedrooms benefit from a Jack & Jill shower room, complimented by a well-appointed family bathroom. A secondary staircase provides access down to the kitchen from the main landing.
