Stunning detached stone built family home

This attractive detached stone built house retains many of its original features throughout the property. With exposed beams and fireplaces in many of the rooms, the house has a good flow with interleading doors through to all the rooms on the ground floor.

The entrance hall opens into a fantastic, stone flagged sitting/dining room with double aspects and a large open fireplace with wood burner. There is an opening in the kitchen wall, which links the sitting/dining room cleverly to the kitchen, giving an open-plan feel to the room.

The kitchen is fitted to a high standard with an excellent use of the original farmhouse alcove to house a range style cooker, as well as opening the space into the sitting/dining room.

The ground floor also includes a spacious drawing room, cosy snug featuring exposed beams and stonework with a tiled fireplace and an useful cloakroom/utility room.

Leading up to the first floor is a long landing with exposed beams which links the master bedroom, with en-suite, along with the family bathroom and three further bedrooms.

There is also a versatile room built into the eaves, with a skylight which makes for an office or additional storage space.

The house is approached across a paved and cobbled area to the front, with a gated entrance to the side leading to an established garden, which is mostly laid to lawn with planted borders. A newly paved patio area to the rear, which gets full sun all day long, extends the living space of the house through the kitchen providing a perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.
