Step Inside
As you step into the spacious entrance, you’re immediately greeted by the inviting atmosphere of the home. To your right is the recently updated kitchen/dining room, a heartwarming space where old meets new. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of wall and base units, providing ample storage, along with a sink and drainer, space for an oven and extractor fan, and room for a fridge/freezer. Exposed beams throughout the room add undeniable character. There’s also plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, making it the perfect spot for family meals or entertaining friends. Double doors open directly into the garden, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living — a great feature for those who love to dine al fresco or enjoy the fresh air.

...
From the kitchen, you are led through to the family bathroom. While this room is ready for some modernisation, it still offers all the essentials — a bath, WC, and wash basin.
Next, you’ll find the cosy living room, a true sanctuary where you can unwind and relax. The focal point of the room is a beautiful feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, which not only adds to the charm of the space but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere on cooler evenings.
Rounding off the ground floor is a comfortable bedroom that enjoys peaceful views over the surrounding gardens. This room is ideal for guests or as a home office, with the added benefit of a permanent ladder that provides access to the loft room above.

First Floor
A staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll find a spacious landing that adds a real sense of openness to the upper level. Off the landing is a generous double bedroom, full of charm and character, featuring exposed wooden beams and a large window that frames lovely views across the surrounding countryside — the perfect place to wake up to peaceful, rural scenery.

From this room, a doorway leads through to a converted loft space, offering a versatile area that can be tailored to suit your needs. Whether used as a children's playroom or simply for additional storage, this thoughtfully adapted space adds valuable flexibility to the home.

Step Outside
The property is accessed via a quiet country lane, offering a peaceful approach that sets the tone for the idyllic rural setting. A newly laid driveway provides ample parking and turning space, offering convenient access for multiple vehicles. There is also great potential to expand with the addition of a garage or carport, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The beautifully maintained grounds are framed by a generous lawn, which is bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and hedges. There is also plenty of room for additional outbuildings such as sheds and a greenhouse.

...
The real highlight of the outdoor space, however, is the enchanting natural waterfall that flows through the property. This tranquil feature adds an element of serenity, creating a peaceful ambiance and a soothing backdrop to the surrounding countryside views.
