Character with modern comforts

Set within approximately 4.72 acres of gardens and paddock, it provides a rare opportunity for equestrian buyers or those simply seeking a peaceful, spacious lifestyle.
The heart of the home is a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining room that open onto a west-facing York stone patio – ideal for entertaining. A separate utility room houses laundry appliances and the eco-friendly solar battery storage system. Two elegant reception rooms offer versatile living space, both featuring fireplaces (one with a wood-burning stove) and the other with a bay window overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys far reaching views across the garden and towards the paddock from a Juliette balcony, along with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms - two doubles with fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, and one currently used as a study - share a modern family bathroom with underfloor heating.
Extensive grounds and equestrian potential
The property’s beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the house, offering a perfect balance of formal planting, mature trees, and open lawn. A private parking area, stable, hay barn with power and lighting, and a paddock make this an ideal setting for small scale equestrian use or hobby farming.
