Dating back to the mid-1930s, this charming village family home retains attractive period features, including high ceilings, while having been thoughtfully extended and remodelled to create generous and versatile modern living.

It offers the perfect balance of open-plan space and cosy reception rooms.

With outstanding views across the Mimram Valley to the front and open countryside forming a beautiful backdrop to the rear, the setting is truly special. You are welcomed by an inviting entrance hall.

To one side is the living room, featuring a bay window overlooking the valley and an electric fireplace as a focal point.

Opposite, a generous family room with a wood-burning stove provides a warm and comfortable space, flowing seamlessly into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/breakfast room.

Spanning the full width of the house, this superb space also benefits from a freestanding wood-burning stove and double doors opening onto the rear garden.

The high-quality kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor-mounted units complemented by solid worktops. A fitted utility room with a WC is conveniently positioned off the hallway.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, all enjoying wonderful views to both the front and rear. The principal bedroom includes a practical walk-in wardrobe and has the benefit of air -conditioning.

The remaining bedrooms are served by two modern bath/shower rooms, one featuring a jacuzzi bath and the other a stylish separate shower room.

Outside, the gardens are a true credit to the current owners.

To the front, a block-paved driveway spans the width of the plot, with an additional driveway running along the side through wooden gates to the garage.

Attractive plant, shrub and tree borders frame the space, and a level patio area provides a pleasant seating spot leading to the front door. The rear garden is equally impressive.

A generous patio area enjoys a south-westerly aspect, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxing in the sun.

The lawn is edged with beautifully stocked flower beds filled with a wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees.

The garden gently slopes upwards to a raised patio at the far end, perfectly positioned to capture the delightful views, alongside a useful wooden shed.

A secure gate at the rear provides direct access to an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, offering endless countryside walks.

This is a unique home in a remarkable setting and must be viewed to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
