Double doors from the hallway lead to the spacious dining room, with an archway through to the charming 17ft kitchen with wood painted cabinetry and AGA. A separate utility room with door to the rear completes the ground floor of this well-proportioned home. The wooden crafted staircase leads up to the galleried landing, which overlooks the main reception room. To the right is the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite and the three other bedrooms and family bathroom can be found at the other end of the open landing area. All four bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.
OUTSIDE
The property is accessed via a private road off Postern Lane, approached via a driveway which sweeps around to the front of the property and leads to a generous parking area in front of the double garage. There is an expanse of lawn to the front of the barn, with mature shrubs along the border.
