well arranged with a superb double reception room which over looks both
gardens. The dining room is stylishly designed with a lovely window seat
incorporated into the bay window. To the rear of the ground floor is the
kitchen which features a lovely island and large window looking over the
gardens and grounds outside. There is a very useful utility/boot room and
breakfast room arranged off the kitchen. There is excellent storage
throughout.
Upstairs, arranged logically around a generous landing are 5/6 bedrooms and
two bathrooms. All bedrooms enjoy lovely views either of the garden or
countryside.
Outside, there are about 2 acres of extensive garden areas and grounds. To the
front of the house there are beautiful mature trees and bushes making the
approach to the front very attractive. There is a delightful pond which
attracts wildlife.

watching and entertaining. The gardens have been beautifully maintained and
