A charming rural residence, formerly a highway inn, now meticulously restored and refurbished to create a stylish family home where the past and the present are perfectly combined. Offering a characterful and generously-proportioned living environment with enhancements creating a light, airy and open ambience, the homely hub of the property presents as an interlinking kitchen/breakfast, dining and family room. This convivial setting is zoned with seating centred around two separate feature fireplaces, an adjoining spot for formal dining reached through an archway, and an appealing kitchen/breakfast space with views over the rear garden. Two reception rooms comprise an elegant drawing room with bay window alcove and the warmth of a log-burner, and a study with French door access to the outside.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the ground and upper floors, with the principal room offering a tucked-away retreat on the lower level benefitting from a dressing room and stylishly-appointed en suite shower room. The first level landing gives access to four bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, which complements a second bathroom on the level below. Supplemental accommodation is available in a one-bedroom annexe abode, where the smart presentation is in keeping with that of the main house and a vaulted drawing room provides a stunning reception area with French doors opening to the garden, also a entrance to a separate car parking area.

A length of hedging fronts the lane, with a wrought-iron pedestrian gate providing a route to the entrance door and timber five-bar gates, set in fencing, opening onto a gravelled area for off-road parking to the side. Paved terracing adjoins the easterly aspect of the home offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation and there are numerous spots within the grounds to sit under the dappled shade of the trees. With woodland at the boundaries offering a sense of leafy seclusion, the garden features swathes of lawn interspersed with specimen trees, clipped evergreen hedging and a gravelled track giving access to the annexe.
