From the entrance hall a panelled door leads to the generously proportioned sitting room with a range of exposed ceiling beams and an attractive inglenook style fireplace with exposed brick, bressummer beam, brick tiled hearth and a fitted log burner.
This leads to the library area with a range of fitted bookshelves and storage units and a cupboard housing the central heating boiler.
Glazed panelled doors from the sitting room lead to the stunning conservatory, which is undoubtedly a feature, being a triple aspect oak framed building with an extensive range of exposed beams and Velux windows, tiled floor and double doors leading to the attractive covered loggia.
The dining room is separated from the sitting room by a half wall with exposed timber beams, solid wood flooring and an attractive view over the rear garden.
Glazed double doors lead to the superbly designed and laid out kitchen breakfast room which features an extensive range of high quality John Lewis painted wooden wall and base units with granite worktops incorporating a double bowl stainless steel sink unit with mixer taps and drainer; integrated Bosch dishwasher; Neff

expansive area is an unusual and stylish tiled floor by Fired Earth. There are glazed double doors to the spacious terrace and a separate door to the side of the house, allowing this space to be used as a useful boot room.
A further glazed door leads to the utility room with a single stainless steel sink unit with mixer taps and drainer, plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, and a good range of painted wooden wall and base units with excellent additional storage and tiled floor.
A timber panelled door leads to the snug study, a charming double aspect room with exposed beams and a brick fireplace and hearth with bressummer beam above, fitted log burner.
From the snug a secondary staircase links with the main staircase and leads to the first floor where there is a spacious landing with space for a little study reading area, and with an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank.
A timber panelled door leads through to the principal bedroom which is equipped with an extensive range of built in wardrobes and storage cupboards and dressing table.

Double doors lead to the large en suite bathroom with a freestanding roll top slipper bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, separate tiled and glazed shower cubicle, WC, twin wash basins in vanity unit with storage below, heated towel rail and wood effect vinyl flooring.
Bedroom 2 is quietly situated to the rear, with a view over the gardens and neighbouring countryside, and an excellent walk in wardrobe closet. Bedroom 3 has exposed beams to one wall and a pretty pine and cast iron mantelpiece and
fireplace. Bedroom 4 is currently arranged as a twin bedroom with a built in storage cupboard to one corner and with ample space to be used as a double bedroom.

The second floor is approached via a ladder staircase which leads to an attic room which is currently used for storage and sits in the eaves and with a window overlooking the gardens, and which could feasibly be used for other purposes.
From here a door opens into a large area of loft storage room, which again, subject to the necessary consents, may be incorporated into the main accommodation.
