This room leads to the kitchen which is fitted with modern units and surfaces and a range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens. There is a breakfast bar area which overlooks the beautifully maintained rear garden. A useful utility area is accessed from the kitchen providing plenty of space for a washing machine and extra storage, and there is also a ground floor shower room. There is a formal dining room which can seat up to ten people. It enjoys French doors which open up onto a patio area in the rear garden, creating a fantastic indoor-outdoor flow.
The first floor is home to three bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which is set up with a walk-in dressing area.

The landing area is a generous space which could be utilised as a home office/study area or additional seating area.
The third floor is home to a further double bedroom which enjoys plenty of built in storage space as well as views across the countryside beyond.

A further paddock adjoins the property and is currently used for grazing for sheep and chickens with a purpose-built field shelter suitable for sheep and goats, and a temporary structure currently housing the chickens.
