The kitchen boasts an array of storage cupboards, sleek quartz worktops, a butler sink, and integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, and space for a range cooker. A rear-facing window offers a pleasant garden view, while a side door leads to the utility room, which provides further work surfaces, storage options, appliance space, and a stable door opening to the garden.

A rear hallway, accessed via a recessed side porch, features a useful pantry/larder cupboard and a ground-floor cloakroom. Additionally, a versatile reception room at the front of the house, ideal as a family room or home office, benefits from a double-glazed window with fitted shutters, a feature fireplace, and a wood-burning stove, making it a comfortable and functional space.

The first floor is home to five generously sized bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys stunning views across the rear gardens, the River Pant, and the picturesque countryside beyond. This luxurious suite includes a dedicated walk-in dressing area and an impressive en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and are served by a stylish family bathroom, fitted with a classic white three-piece suite.

Externally, a private driveway extends to the side of the property, where timber gates enclose a secure parking area, providing ample space for multiple vehicles and leading to a detached double open-bay cart lodge. The beautifully landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a paved terrace directly adjoining the house, creating an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. Towards the rear of the garden, a charming timber deck with a covered pergola provides a tranquil retreat, positioned near the River Pant. The setting is truly breath-taking, with uninterrupted views over open countryside, making this an idyllic and peaceful home in a stunning location.
