The property combines a comfortable single storey house with outbuildings, gardens and land which all create to make a wonderful home and a lifestyle.
You enter the home into the porch which has space for coats and boots, and a door leads directly into the heart of the house which is the open plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen area is well-equipped with fitted cupboards, and appliances including a Classic 90 Range Cooker, an extractor and a dishwasher. The dining area has plenty of space for the table and chairs.

Off the kitchen are the sitting room and the snug.
The sitting room has a wood burner and a partly vaulted ceiling which together with the double aspect, French doors and a Velux window make this a light and airy room in all seasons.

This includes a home office (with electricity and telephone land line) and adjacent is a storeroom giving expansion room if required. It adjoins a large, double and open fronted car port open barn with a 16amp car charger and beyond is a garage and workshop.

The gardens are delightful and well organised for ease of management.

At the rear of the house is a lawned garden and small yard which is enclosed and an ideal dog yard, It includes a "dog and wellie" shower wash. Beyond the orchard is the meadow, of permanent pasture, having its own lane access and being bounded by various trees including a walnut, sweet chestnut, rowan, hazel and a copse of willow.
