The Property

Beautifully reimagined through an extensive renovation and extension, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home combines the feel of a new property with thoughtfully designed, versatile accommodation. Whilst it offers the flexibility of living on one floor the addition of a master bedroom/ensuite upstairs and two further double bedrooms, equally lends itself to life as a spacious family home.

The quality extends beyond the interiors to the materials and craftsmanship throughout, including Canadian cedar dormers and gables. The comprehensive refurbishment encompasses the roof, fascias, soffits, guttering, electrics and plumbing, with the building works carried out to the latest building regulations.

Beautifully landscaped gardens back onto countryside, complemented by a front lawn and parking for up to five cars. Approved planning permission to link the garage to the main house offers further potential for a future owner.

A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality of the finish and the care invested in this exceptional transformation.
