About this property
Spacious four bed detached home with self contained annexe, large kitchen, log burner, boot room, stunning views, big garden, garage, and ample parking. Peaceful rural living, perfect for families.
If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about a rural escape where the only thing noisier than the sheep is your own laughter echoing across the fields, then this four bedroom detached house (plus a separate one-bedroom annexe, perfect for guests, teenagers, or an elderly relative) might just be your countryside calling. Every window in this home offers an uninterrupted view of rolling fields, no neighbours peering in, so you can finally practice your interpretive dance moves in the living room without fear of judgement. The heart of the home is the large, farmhouse style kitchen, which boasts plenty of workspace for your culinary masterpieces, and a Rayburn that not only keeps the hot water flowing but also serves as a handy conversation starter. The open plan, L-shaped living/dining room is perfect for everything from raucous family board game nights to romantic evenings curled up by the log burner. After those long, muddy countryside walks, the boot room will be your best friend, no more muddy footprints on the carpet, just a dedicated space for wellies, dog leads, and the odd forgotten carrot from the allotment. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms in the main house, one of which offers the potential for a balcony, imagine sipping your morning coffee while surveying your domain, or just waving regally to the sheep. The bathroom is a showstopper, with a stunning four piece suite that invites you to soak away your stresses. The annexe is a self contained slice of comfort, featuring a double bedroom, a fully functional kitchen, a shower room, and a sitting room with French doors leading to your own private courtyard. There’s also a detached single garage for your car, your tools, or that collection of vintage bicycles you’ve been meaning to restore. The large plot offers endless possibilities for gardeners, badminton enthusiasts, or anyone who’s ever dreamt of growing their own vegetables and then forgetting to water them. The driveway provides ample off-road parking, so there’s plenty of space for visitors, delivery vans, or even the odd tractor. In short, this is a home that combines rustic charm, practical spaces, and a healthy dose of peace and quiet.
So whether you’re looking for a peaceful family home, a place where visiting friends somehow stay a little longer than planned, or simply a retreat where the pace of life slows to the rhythm of the seasons, this property delivers in abundance. With space to spread out, views that never get old, and enough character to make every day feel a little special, it’s the kind of home that doesn’t just house your life, it enhances it.
All that’s missing now is you, a kettle on the Rayburn, and perhaps a dog waiting patiently by the boot room door for the next countryside adventure.
