 INTERNAL 
The property is entered via a storm porch into the entrance hall which gives access to a spacious cloakroom housing a WC and pedestal wash basin as well as a personal door into the integral double garage which has electric doors.

Double doors lead from the entrance hall into the central games room with open return staircase leading to the first floor galleried landing. The games room is an ideal entertaining room and currently houses a snooker table, bar and DJ station, but would lend itself to being a formal dining room or family room, providing flexibility of use. Double doors open into the sunny sitting room which features ornate coving, dado rail and central ceiling rose as well as a wall mounted marble fireplace housing a real-flame effect gas fire; sliding doors give access directly to the garden. The dual aspect dining kitchen is fitted with solid wood units with granite work surfaces incorporating a 1½ bowl sink and benefiting from a well-proportioned central island with breakfast bar. Equipment includes a Rangemaster range with six-ring induction hob and matching extractor hood over and there is an integrated dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine and space for an American-style fridge freezer. The kitchen opens into a small conservatory, flooding the room with light and an external door gives access to the garden.

On the first floor a galleried landing provides access to the five bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom features a bay window that affords fabulous views over the garden and grazing land beyond and also benefits from an en-suite shower room housing a shower cubicle, WC and pedestal wash basin. Bedroom 2 is a particularly large bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a dressing room with built-in storage leading into the en-suite shower room fitted with a shower cubicle, WC and pedestal wash basin. Bedrooms 3 and 4 both enjoy rural views and bedroom 5 is currently utilised as a dressing room. The first floor accommodation is completed with a family bathroom housing a P-shaped bath with shower over, WC and pedestal wash basin.
