The well-appointed kitchen is a chef's delight, with a Rangemaster electric oven with a gas hob and the original bread oven, with a separate pantry and utility room.

“The property is set within an impressive site of approximately 0.3 acres, featuring a south facing patio and a decked seating area.

“The garden has been thoughtfully designed using poured concrete and Siberian larch to create a bar area with outdoor plugs and TV bracket, and there are open farmland views beyond the garden area.

“The large gravel driveway is secured behind gates and offers ample parking for up to 15 cars, with a detached double garage.”
