Description
This unlisted period property has been skillfully updated and presents as a contemporary yet characterful home.
The formal entrance for Masons is at the front of the house and leads straight into the expansive living room with stripped oak flooring, wooden beams and a wood burning stove.
The side door to the house is more favoured and leads to the main ground floor reception rooms including the study/snug, a wonderful room with bay window, wood flooring and a wood burner. This room has a door to the living room which in turn leads straight to the dining room, a triple aspect room with a marvellous feature oast chimney originally used for hop burning when the property was a pub.
The kitchen/dining room lies to the rear of the property and benefits from a four door Aga, beautiful porcelain tiles and a range of fitted wall and base units. The pantry comes off this room.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom lies to the front of the house and has a beautiful dressing area alongside the en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms or five should you decide to use one of the bedrooms' adjoining dressing rooms as a bedroom. The large family bathroom at the rear also gives access to the separate utility room.

There is a small formal garden to the front of the property but the main garden lies to the rear and faces south and west.
Immediately outside the kitchen is a wide stone paved terrace from which to enjoy alfresco dining. A gentle step takes you up to the large lawned area which is fully enclosed, not overlooked and bordered with mature shrubs and trees. A greenhouse and shed are also available.
