Glazed internal doors then give way to what is an impressive reception hall, the superb presentation of which sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation. Ensuring a lovely warm welcome with a central feature staircase extending to the upper floor and with all principle living spaces leading off. With an aspect to the east as well as the large south facing bay window, the lounge makes the most of the setting and views. Flooded with light from early morning, this room boasts generous proportions yet manages to retain a lovely, homely feel- a great space to relax or entertain friends with an impressive feature fireplace housing a multi fuel stove. To the far side of the reception hall is the sitting room; a little smaller in size but a lovely light space again with bay window to the south plus secondary windows looking to the west. Again, a feature has been made of the multi fuel stove. For those who like to entertain the dining room is perfect, very regal in its style and size and ideal for dinner parties or family banquets. Again, with windows to two sides, the room is remarkably bright and is centred around an open working fire. Having been designed in true farmhouse style complete with an Aga, the kitchen is tasteful and understated, offering a fantastic range of shaker style units with quality worktops and ample room for every day dining. Windows overlook the grounds to the side and rear of the property and great use of the space has provided for an additional larder style facility. Extending to the rear and with external door is the useful utility room and ground floor cloakroom.

The exposed timber staircase extends to a fantastic and very useable upper hall/seating area which commands some of the best views. The space on offer here makes this a particularly versatile area which the current vendors use as an informal lounge/family room but with scope for home working or as a peaceful reading room. All four bedrooms extend off the upper hall; the two principal rooms boasting the limitless views; the master room captures the sun rising in the East and takes in The Cheviots to the south. A tranquil and restful room with excellent dressing area and a stylishly fitted en-suite shower room. Bedroom two enjoys a similar aspect to the South and captures the sun setting in the West; whilst bedrooms three and four enjoy an aspect over the private grounds to the rear with wooded aspect - Again both double rooms one of which also has a connecting door from the master bedroom and could be utilised as a nursery or such like. Offering a touch of luxury the family bathroom is extremely well appointed with the benefit of a free standing bath as well as a stand-alone shower and wet wall panelling.

The property sits centrally within the plot of around 1.5 acres. Largely laid to lawn, the current owners keep chickens, ducks and geese.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to include established plantings which ensure colour and interest all year round but also offer ample opportunity for extensive vegetable plots etc for those who wish to lead a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The site of a former shepherd’s cottage has been cleverly utilised to provide a sheltered seating area – perfect for summer dining.
