Property
This delightful family house forms part of a stunning, sandstone farmhouse. The original hamlet’s chapel is linked to the house and also has its own entrance, allowing for use as ancillary accommodation.

The front door opens into a spacious hall. The sitting room is an excellent size and has a fireplace housing a wood burning stove flanked by shelving. Next to this is the family room, which has a fireplace housing a wood burning stove and a large window overlooking the terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted floor and wall units with woodblock worktops, a range-style cooker, double butler’s sink, underfloor heating and door to the garden. Beyond is the utility room with ample space for appliances and boiler cupboard. A door from here opens into the converted chapel with its own front door, which can be used as additional entertaining space or a 5th bedroom as there is an adjoining shower room.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom, which has a built-in wardrobe, ornamental cast iron fireplace, window overlooking the garden and a well-appointed en-suite shower room with WC, wash hand basin and limestone tiled floor. There are 2 further bedrooms on this floor and an attractive family bathroom, which has a panelled bath with shower attachment and screen, WC, basin and chrome heated towel rail.

Stairs lead from the first floor landing up to a light and airy loft bedroom, which could alternatively be used as a home office.

Outside
A gravel in-and-out carriage driveway sweeps past the front garden and parking area in front of the house. Beside the road there is a recently planted laurel hedge. A gated path leads around the side of the house to the main area of garden at the rear, where there is a large paved seating area with steps up to the lawn. At the top of the garden is a shed and from here there are delightful views across neighbouring farmland.
