Set back from the lane behind a charming front garden, the house combines timeless elegance with modern comforts throughout.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to four bedrooms – three of which are good-sized doubles – including the main bedroom with a smartly appointed en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. A spacious well-fitted family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
Externally, the grounds are equally impressive.

A wide stone-flagged driveway provides ample parking, in addition to a detached stone-built garage, log store, and an EV charging point.
