The expansive lounge provides a generous reception space, ideal for relaxing with family or entertaining guests, while the well-equipped kitchen offers a practical area for everyday cooking.
The conservatory provides an additional reception space overlooking the surrounding grounds, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or unwinding throughout the day.
To the first floor are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or a home office, together with a family bathroom.
Externally, the property truly comes into its own. Occupying approximately ten acres of land, the grounds offer a wonderful sense of freedom, privacy and connection with the surrounding countryside.
The land will appeal to equestrian enthusiasts, aspiring smallholders or buyers simply looking to enjoy a more rural way of life, with ample opportunity for grazing, outdoor pursuits and a variety of lifestyle interests, all complemented by the property's elevated position and far-reaching panoramic views.
For those with equestrian interests, the property benefits from an existing sand school, providing an excellent facility for riding and training from home.
The extensive grounds offer scope to make the most of the land according to individual interests, whether that be equestrian pursuits, smallholding ambitions or simply enjoying the freedom of having your own countryside space.
Further enhancing the property's versatility are the large storage buildings and workshops, offering a wealth of practical space for equipment, tools, machinery, hobbies or workshop use, subject to any necessary consents.
These useful additional buildings will appeal to buyers seeking room for projects, storage or the practical requirements associated with managing a substantial rural property.
The property also benefits from a garage and an abundance of parking, providing ample space for multiple vehicles, visiting guests and, particularly appealing to those considering smallholding or equestrian pursuits, larger vehicles and associated machinery.
This generous provision of parking adds further practicality to an already versatile rural holding.
The grounds also feature a charming secret garden, complete with apple trees, creating a delightful and secluded spot to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the setting.
A summerhouse provides a further space to unwind and appreciate the surroundings, while a separate home office with power connected offers an ideal solution for remote working, running a business or pursuing hobbies away from the main residence.
Adding further appeal is the property's previous pre-application planning enquiry for a proposed two-bedroom bungalow, referenced PA21/02610/preapp.
This offers an interesting avenue for buyers wishing to explore the potential for additional accommodation, including the possibility of multi-generational living, subject to the relevant planning requirements and any necessary permissions.
