The house has been created from buildings previously comprising cottages, a barn and stables which has resulted in well proportioned and bright accommodation on two floors.
The house is entered by the front door which gives access to the hallway which gives access to the stairs to the first floor. The kitchen/dining room has a range of modern floor and wall fitted units and space for a dining table. The double oven, hob, extractor hood and fridge are included in the price. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room which also has a range of floor and wall fitted units and houses the gas central heating boiler. Glazed double doors lead to the very bright and spacious living room which has double patio doors onto the garden and also very large and bright roof sky-lights. A further area of hallway leads from the kitchen/dining room to the master bedroom with a shelved walk in linen cupboard and further storage cupboard off. The master bedroom is a large room with windows both to front and rear, a very deep walk-in wardrobe and a door to the en-suite shower room.
