The Farmhouse is nestled amongst mature gardens. Enter through the porch into a welcoming and light entrance hall and hang up your coats. You’ll find a perfect blend of both character features and modern comforts throughout this stunning property. The cosy lounge is to your left with a comfy corner sofa to snuggle on while you watch your favourite films on the Smart TV and warm up beside the roaring wood burner. To the right from the entrance hall, the spacious and contemporary kitchen/diner is equipped with everything you’ll need including AGA, electric double oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There’s a dining table with seating for all the family, plus a breakfast bar for your morning coffee while planning the day ahead. The utility room has a washing machine, tumble dryer and WC. From here is the sunroom, perfect for reading a book or enjoying an afternoon of relaxing. Heading upstairs to the right, you’ll find a double bedroom, a super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as a twin on request) with views across the grounds and towards the pool house, and the stunning bathroom with freestanding roll-top bath, separate rainfall shower with attachment and WC. The final wing to the main house is the stylish king-size bedroom with views across the gardens, a dressing room and an en-suite shower room with rainfall shower and WC. The pool house has an open-plan kitchen area with a dining table and double patio doors, perfect for preparing poolside snacks. After a dip in the pool, head into the sauna or steam room where you’ll find a shower room with a shower and separate WC. Heading upstairs you’ll find a huge family room with a gorgeous, vaulted ceiling and a comfy sofa. There are two super-king zip-and-link beds (which can be made up as twins on request).

Step outside from the sunroom to a wonderfully mature, private garden with generous sloping lawns. Dine alfresco on the patio terrace with the charcoal BBQ on the go on a glorious summer’s evening. There are several steps leading to the heated swimming pool area. Laze on the beanbags as time ticks by, listening to your favourite sounds on the Bluetooth speaker or jump in the pool and have fun with all the family. Driveway parking is for three cars, and there's additional free parking if required. Please note this property has a private water supply.
