The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged, beginning with an architect-designed entrance porch leading into a spacious reception hall featuring oak flooring and a striking oak staircase. The dual-aspect living room enjoys views over the front garden and is centred around an attractive feature fireplace, while the elegant bay-fronted dining room also overlooks the front aspect.

To the rear, the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space. Installed in 2023 by Counter Interiors of York, the high-specification Masterclass kitchen boasts a large oak-topped central island, bespoke larder cupboard, Dekton work surfaces, and a range of premium appliances including a range cooker, dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer. A separate utility room and guest WC add further practicality.

Double doors open into a cosy snug with a feature wood-burning stove, which in turn leads through to a delightful garden room, perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the rear garden.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to all four double bedrooms and the house bathroom. The impressive principal suite features two walk-in wardrobes, breathtaking rear views, and a luxurious en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping block-paved driveway, accessed through double electric gates, providing ample off-road parking and leading to a detached double garage with electric roller door and adjoining workshop.

The front garden is attractively landscaped with a seating area and is well screened by mature hedging. To the rear, the generous garden extends to approximately 100 ft in length and is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by well-stocked flower beds, paved seating areas, and a gazebo—perfect for outdoor entertaining while enjoying the open countryside views.

A separate home office is situated to the rear of the garage, accessed from the garden, offering an ideal space for remote working.

OFFER PROCEDURE

Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
